Hi all, The chat program Powow is causing a general protection fault when I first try to launch Powwow. Under details it says: Powwow caused a general protection fault in module KRNL386.EXE. If I try to launch Powwow again it comes up and runs but it causes errors in other programs I try to run while Powwow is running in the background, ie., Agent can't launch binary files . When I shut down powwow and start it a third time, it says the GPF is in powwow.exe. If I try to run it again , I get the message: " A device attached to the system is not functioning." Also, when I go to restart or shut down the system, it hangs at "please wait while your computer shuts down." I've tried reinstalling powwow several times, renaming winsocks to old, copying the ctl3d.dll file from powwow to windows\system and even tried reinstalling windows. I have a 486/66, 16 megs of ram and windows95 I connect to the net with the windows95DUN Thanks in advance, Craig
