This is a new one for me.



Client calls with an Arev 3.12 system.  He's been running it on a Win95 system - MS networking.  No Lan pack but he says he only runs it on a single PC.



Anyway, been running fine for a while.  Yesterday, he gets the windows critical error:



"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be terminated"  yatta yatta



"The program encountered a General Protection Exception"

Detail button reveals:



  Fault Location        1F24:CD5A

  Interupts in Service: none



Checked all the usual stuff.  Revboot, etc.



He says he gets the same error on the laptop where he lap linked the program from a working PC system -  which he Laplinks to the network system.   HHhhmmmm.



Tried rebooting to DOS and running only to get the logo display before it hangs up without a wimper.



New one for me.  Anybody got a clue?



thanks

<QUOTE>Sounds like this guy runs it on more than a single PC.  There's the network and the laptop and this workstation and the working PC workstation.  Not bad,  4 workstations, one executable, no lan pack and he's complaining about problems?



If I were you, I'd blame it that General Protection guy.  It's obviously his fault.  You could also say that Revelation Technologies placed anti-piracy code in the executable and they'd be more than happy to help with the purchase of the minimum of 3 additional executables he's legally required to purchase.



Sorry, but Windows itself says no interruption in service, so I'm sure the system is running without any interuptions.

<QUOTE>Sure, always blame General Protection on allegations alone. My experience has always shown that Major Screwup is the culprit, even though Colonel Kludge often is an accomplice in these matters.

<QUOTE>Licensing:  Licensing is an issue with me, not Revelations.  I purchased a global license for unlimited distribution.  I license the software to the specific unit of government purchasing my application based on the size of the unit (number of records). It's a royal pain in the clients' rear to try and coordinate several copies of the application on non-networked PC's.  Besides, this client made several purchases for different units is merely transfering the main subdirectory over to troubled pc's.



Anyway.  Was there anything usefull in your message (re: interupts) or was this just an opportunity to get the traffic up on the Internet?
