Solution:

Most General Protection Faults (GPFs) occur when an application attempts to read or write data in an area of memory that hasn't been allocated to it.

This is not allowed because another application may be using that particular area of memory. Another way GPFs can happen is for an application to pass an invalid parameter to another application or to Windows, which causes an invalid instruction to be executed.

GPFs are usually not that serious. At the very worst, you will need to restart your computer. If you get these errors every now and then, it's probably nothing to worry about. If you get them regularly, be sure you save your work often and see the section below on what you can do about it.

What to do about pesky General Protection Faults:

• Whenever possible, use the latest versions of your applications. Check for any updates or patches that may have been issued.
• If the errors seem to always happen in a particular program, try re-installing or upgrading that program.
• Don't leave applications running that you don't need. Ideally, this shouldn't be a problem, but system stability decreases with more programs running at the same time.
• Reboot your machine. A freshly rebooted system is generally more stable.
