I have had a problem with Windows 3.1 running Norton Desktop.
I wonder if anyone has had similar.

I have a 386SX with a Trident sVGA card with 1M RAM
I set up Windows to drive it 1024x768 256 colors. A bit slow but
 what the heck.

Also run WPerfect6 for Windows, and this problem also came up
 under 5.2 for Windows.

Every so often, seemingly randomly, which means I haven't been smart
enough to recognise the circumstances, WP gives:

	General Protection Fault
	Module T1024.DRV		<a trident driver>
	0001:3fe9

When closing the application as advised, WP then gives

	General Protection Fault
	WPWIN60.exe
	000a:1e96

and the whole system crashes.

Anyone had a similar problem?
Anyone know where the latest Trident drivers might be found?
(Going back to a lower resolution driver cures the problem)

Thanks
Chris.
