Doug,

GPF's occur occassionaly, they're nothing to worry about.. You should close any open 
applications and exit windows and restart when you get one however.  GPFs occur when 
two or more applications try to use the same 'chunk' of memory at the same time - 
Wfw prevents this from happening via the GPF.  If you continously get the exact same 
GPF each and every time you open/close almanac or any other application - this could 
be a bug in the program and should be referred to the appropriate Tech support 
people, there may be a patch or something to eliminate the problem... good luck,

Mike Noll
