Guest PSRumbagh Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I am trying to run the drawing program AutoSketch V2.1 in Win98 SE "Normal Mode". It always returns the error message: Illegal operation - Sketch caused a general protection fault in module SKETCH.EXE at 0090:000007703. The program will shut down. Also, the mouse operates strangely until I close AutoSketch down. AutoSketch runs OK if I run it under Win98 SE "Safe Mode". What does this suggest and what can I do about it?

Turn your virus checker off and see if your application works. If that does not help...what else is running when you start Windows?
Guest Fan924 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Re: Application program only runs in Win98 "Safe Mode" Sounds familiar. Tried the patches for 2.1? http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/index?siteID=123112&id=2334435&linkID=9243019#section6

Virus protection is essentially a requirment in most situations. Although I'd check on undates for your software as suggested by another respondent... If the machine has been on-line without virus protection etc...it could of course be infected > "philo" wrote: > > > > > "PSRumbagh" <PSRumbagh@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > > news:1EF68886-B8D7-4BE7-A0C7-646AC99F85E8@microsoft.com... > > > I am trying to run the drawing program AutoSketch V2.1 in Win98 SE "Normal > > > Mode".
