Crossbrand - Windows95/System Information Tool/Netfinity 5.0 generates general protection faults

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom

After installing Netfinity Version 5.0 onto a Windows 95 machine, the System Information tool causes GPF (General Protection Fault) Errors.

Resolution

(1) View the SYSTEM.INI file in the \WINDOWS directory.
(2) Verify that there is a line in the 386 ENHANCED section that says "device=NFVD.386".
(3) If there is a line that says something similar to "wnfdea=NFVD.386", change that line to say "device" instead of "wnfdea".

Note

If the setting is correct in the SYSTEM.INI file, contact the HelpCenter to obtain the latest release of Netfinity 5.0.
