I'm in a big time rush. I've read the FAQ v2, but I get lost with all the technical jargon. I'm a newbie to C++, and don't know much about PCs either. I work in a windows environment. I've tried installing G++ on a PC (486, 8Mb of ram) and tried installing it on my F: drive (some sort of pentium based beast) I have some how managed to run my program a couple of times (how I'm not sure), but usually it crashes big time. I run DOS from Windows, and have tried installing csdpmilb.zip (DPMI server). I can only get feedback from g032-v2 when using dos from windows - is this right? DMPI memory available: a tad over 4Mb DPMI swap space available: 0 Anyway, my source code complies fine, but when tring to run I get the message; Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV General Protection Fault at (lots of numbers etc) ... then Windows 3.1 pops up with a window saying; =============================================================================== MS-DOS PROMPT This application has violated system integrity due to execution of an invalid instruction and will be terminated. Quit all applications, quit windows, and then restart your computer. =============================================================================== Please could you reply in "thicko" mode please.
