[comp.windows.ms] Application violated system integrity!

tom@ismdqa.intel.com (Tom Soukup ~) (10/12/90)

Hi All,

I have a problem that I hope someone can  help me with.  Sometimes when I
try to run a non-windows application, Windows comes back with a message
that the application has violated system integrity and instructs me to
close all applications and re-boot the system.  This does not happen every
time that I run an application and has happened with several different
applications (I typically run WordPerfect 5.1 and the ZSTEM240 terminal
emulator, each as full screen).  I have not seen any consistance to when or
why this happens.  My system configuration, you ask?

	      80386 AT compatible (Intel 302)
	      Orchid ProDesigner VGA
	      Locus Computing PC Interface (NFS-like network)
	      DOS 3.1
	      Windows 3.0
	
It doesn't seem to matter if I run the application off of a local hard disk
or from the networked disk.

Any comments, suggestions, flames??? (well, no flames I hope)  Please
e-mail (ther's too much traffic in this group already) and I'll summarize
if necessary.


Thanks in advance,
Tom Soukup

Well, I can't provide poor Tom with any help, but I can offer him some
company!

My system:  386/20 (VIP) motherboard (4M RAM)
            Trident VGA (512K)
            WD8003 Ethernet
            Seagate ST296N SCSI drive W/Seagate ST-02 HA
            DFI Scanner board (HS3000+)
            COM1, COM2, COM3, LPT1
            Microsoft Inport Mouse
            IBM PC-DOS 3.30

Windows 3.0 acts weird frequently, giving various symptoms.  One is
repeatable:  If I load Telix 3.12 and have it dial a number repeatedly, then
reduce Telix to an icon and fire up WordPerfect 5.1, WP will eventually die.
("Violated  System Integrity")  If I load WP first, Telix won't load at all.

I like the multitask possibilities offered by WIN30, but from my own
personal experience it just isn't soup yet.

I used to get the "Application violation system integrity!" message
quite often, when running more than 1 DOS window and the Norton
Commander. I finally got rid of the problem by not pre-loading any TSR
before entering Windows.

Instead, once I bring up a Dos Window (or in the Norton Commander bat
file), I load the TSRs I use.

For what its worth.
