From: Jason S on 22 Jul 2010 18:44 Hello all. I'm having some trouble with a game running on NT-based windows OS's. It keeps throwing a general protection fault from a DLL. Is there any way to solve this issue so the game will run on modern windows OS's? I can get the game to run on Windows 98SE. So far I've failed to get it to run on Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro. I'm currently trying to get a copy of Windows 2000 and Windows ME so I can try it with those two systems. Compatibility mode failed. I can't figure out if there's a way to get it to work or if it can even work at all. If it helps, the game is Greg Norman Ultimate Challenge Golf (1995). -- Jason

Windows ME may work - it is the last of the Win9x family. Tried compatibility mode? It also just may not work. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Must have forgot to mention that Windows 7 is running on an x64 system. -- Jason

If you are running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit I would guess the game/program is not compatible. In fact it sounds as though it will not run on any NT system. You can download VMware Player version 3.1, which is a FREE program, and install Win98 in a Virtual Machine. If it was published in 1995 it may have been compiled as an 8-bit program for Win 3 and/or DOS. If it is 8-bit it will absolutely not run on any NT based OS.
