"Application error - SUWIN caused fault @ 0006:6EB8
I recently purchased the windows95 upgrade and while installing it, received the message, " Application Error - SUWIN caused a General Protection Fault in Module SUWIN.exe at 0006:6Eb8". I checked on the Microsoft websight and their solution was to this problem was to delete enough true type fonts so the limit was under 1200...something that I've since tried. Still can't get it to go. HELP!!!! What do I do next?

Thanks Bud!
1. Edit your config.sys and aurtoexec.bat files to disable any antivirus and memory management software you may be running.
2. Make sure that the only lines being called in config.sys are as follows:
Device=Himem.sys
Device=Emm386.exe
Files=40
(put your dos mode cd rom drivers here)
3. In your autoexec.bat file, make the following changes:
Path=c:\
Set Temp=C:\Temp (create this directory if it's not there)
**Add your cd rom dos driver here.
4. Restart your system and start the install normally!
