Hi,
I got this response from Dragon's tech support, and it might help with the GPF error message.
To Whom It May Concern:
To solve this make sure the person had at least 32Megs of RAM in the computer, Make sure the person is not running low on Hard Disk space.
And finally, make sure the person has no other programs running in the background. To do this Hit 'Ctrl'+'Alt'+'Del' This will show you the Close Program window. The only thing that needs to be in there is Explorer.
To clean everything else out you need to remove all icons from their StartUp Folder inside Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
Also, I noticed that the computer has been experiencing memory leaks( I also Highlighted those). Although they might not be causing this problem, there is a chance that they might be.
You can go to www.microsoft.com and do a search for the Article Number (listed below). You will find the file for the update and the article itself. The text below is taken from the article but is more of a paraphrased version. If you are interested more,
you can look up the article Microsoft's web page.
Memory Leak in Windows 95 Kernel Using Windows Sockets
Last reviewed: July 29, 1997
Article ID: Q148336
The information in this article applies to: Microsoft Windows 95
SYMPTOMS
When you run a program that uses Windows Sockets in Windows 95, a
gradual increase in the memory used by the operating system may occur over time, especially if the program opens and closes a large number of sockets.
CAUSE
There is an error in the Windows 95 Kernel (Kernel32.dll) that prevents the proper freeing of certain small data structures associated with Windows Socket processes and allocated sockets. Over time, these small memory leaks can result in a significant loss of available memory.
Note that you can free the resources associated with a program by
closing the program. If you quit and restart Windows 95, the memory is freed.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft has released an updated version of the Kernel32.dll file that corrects the problem described in this article. The updated file is:
Kernel32.dll version 4.00.951 (7/29/97, 337,016 bytes) and later
To install the updated Kernel, follow these steps:
1.Download the Krnlupd.exe file to an empty folder.
2. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, double-click the
KRNLUPD.EXE file you downloaded in step 1.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
The following file(s) are available for download from the Microsoft Software Library:
Krnlupd.exe (size: 337016 bytes)
MORE INFORMATION
When you run the Krnlupd.exe file, the following file is installed:
File name Folder Size Date Version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kernel32.dll Windows\System 411,136 02/02/96 4.00.951
Krnl32un.inf Windows 533 07/25/97
If you wish to uninstall the updated Kernel32.dll file, use the right Mouse button to click the Krnl32un.inf file in the Windows folder, and then click Install from the menu that appears. This step replaces the updated Kernel32.dll with the version that ships with Windows 95 and removes Krnl32un.inf.
These steps should help you in solving the problem. Thank you for your questions and please feel free to email us again.
Sincerely,
-Derek Jones
