Problem: General Protection Fault caused by Foxpro

Background:  Our 16 bit version of News of the Past is compatible  with 60% of the display drivers available for  the various display cards installed in systems  running under Windows 95 and Windows 98 and NT.  Changing the display driver can fix this problem but the result may not be acceptable because some  of your display driver functions, including resolution,  may not be available when running under a different  driver.

Note:  We have a true 32 bit version of News of the Past  program available. You may qualify for a free replacement. Contact Spectrum Unlimited for details.

The  following solution is for Windows 95 users. If  you are running Windows 98 or Windows NT, please use the windows Help system to learn about how to choose another display driver.

Solution: The following steps are used for selecting another  display driver in Windows 95.

1. On the windows desktop, locate the My Computer icon, usually in the upper left corner. Place  the mouse pointer on the My Computer icon and double-click the left mouse button.
