Hi,
   I need some help with Windows 3.1! Every now and then an application will
   quit on me and windows reports:
                       Illegal Instruction Error
                       in module GDI.EXE
                       Address 0001:0624
   I have no idea what could cause it. I checked my system for bad
   memmory and hardware conflict and came up empty.  Win3.1 was installed
   from floppies onto my 486-33 with 8MB of memory. I know that it is not
   a problem with the video card or EMM386.exe or any other software
   besides windows. (removed them all and error still ocuured). I also
   turned of the cash and shadowing of memory, no effect.  The memory has
   also been tested many times. 
   If anybody out there knows anything I would appreciate the help!

                                      Thanks !

                                      Andy
