Subject:Re. Windows GPFs and graphics From:Geoff Hart <geoff-h -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA> Date:Tue, 2 May 1995 09:38:03 LCL
Sandy Brown asked about problems with general protection faults when
scrolling past Windows graphics. I don't use FrameMaker, but I had a
similar problem with AmiPro and solved it fairly simply.
In AmiPro, every time I tried to edit a table or graphic in
draft/typing mode, Windows crashed big-time. When I switched to
layout/preview mode, the problem disappeared. (Windows still crashes,
but that's part of daily life.) If Frame works in draft and layout
modes using the same programming techniques used in AmiPro (i.e.,
invokes the same Windows API calls), Sandy may be encountering the
same problem. Hope this helps!
