I'm trying to reinstall FP 2.6 for Windows on a Windows 98 machine and I get
a 'dshell' error and a general protection fault and then a shutdown.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Tom

Tom,
Unfortunately I believe the FPW installer has the same "High Speed CPU" problem as FPW itself. You'll either need to install it on a "slow" machine (definitely lass than 350mHz), or simply restore a backed up copy of FPW from another machine. Don't forget, you'll need to install the real High Speed CPU patch, or FPW itself and it's runtimes won't work either! http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q240982.

Thanks for the reply. I have 2.6 running on a Windows 2000 machine with the
speed patch with no problem. But I suspect that 2000 shares the legacy
compatibility stuff that XP has which would allow 2.6 to install. I'll try
the restored back up idea.

Thanks again Rick.
