One day I discovered that the Windows Help file just had disapperared from my PC (WIN95). I tried to install it again from the CD, but no dice. Then I tried to reinstall WIN95 from the CD and got the following message: SUWIN caused a general protection fault on modul MACXW.4.DRV address 0015:00000031. When I rebooted the PC it does not load WIN, I have to type win after the C: Please help me, ANYONE!!! Thanks for a hopefully quick answer. Can't live without my 'puter':-)

I experienced similar problems and I eventually found that the problem was with the ATI video card driver. My card was a ATI RAGE II and the driver was obsolete.
The problems dissapeared as soon as I updated the driver (www.atitech.com).
I also experienced the same error and I solved it changing the RAM memory card. When the system start and look at the ram it continues like is all ok, but the Ram memory Card was damaged.
