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?

This particular PC does not have any virus or spam protection software

installed on it.

That does not sound good. 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
