This article explains the difference between the following two Microsoft Windows
version 3.0 standard/enhanced mode fatal application errors:

-and-

MORE INFORMATION
================

These are two entirely different errors. Be sure to specify the exact error when
dealing with problems under Windows 3.0.

"Unrecoverable Application Error" means that a Windows application (not an MS-DOS
application) has caused a fatal problem in protected mode (usually a general
protection violation), causing the application to be terminated.

"This application has violated system integrity" indicates that an MS-DOS
application (not a Windows application) has caused a fatal problem while being
run under Windows, causing the application to be terminated. This is also
usually a general protection violation, but it can be any unpreventable memory
overwrite problem.
