I am trying to install Works For Windows 2.0 under Win 3.1 on a 
386DX system with 4MB RAM, and AMI BIOS dated 8/30/90. As soon as
it read the first floppy I got these errors:

    PROGMAN caused General Protection Fault in 
    module KRNL386.EXE at 0001:73C3

It does not seem to matter whether I install from within Windows
or on the command line.  I've seen WFW installed and ran fine on 
various flavors of system boards and configurations.

What does this error mean and where can I find out more info
about this error? Thanks for any insights.
