window errors explained and the cure

Invalid Page Fault
This occurs when the operating system (Windows) fails to actually access information (data) that was requested by one of your programs. It's as if the butler simply went to sleep on the job.

Remedy: Close the offending application that caused
the error.

Fatal Exception Error
This happens when a program or the system itself tries to work with sickly data, such as a corrupt file. Files get corrupted if all the ducks aren't lined up just so. Everything has to be absolutely precise, or wham! Fatal Exception.

Remedy: Close the offending application. Sometimes it's Windows. So you have to reboot.

General Protection Fault (GPF)
Your computer has to have enough resources to support everything going on inside. If it runs low, or resources leak into space, you may see a GPF. This may also happen if two applications try to use the same memory location, like two cars attempting the same
parking spot.

Remedy: Restart your computer. The memory is cleared and you continue on down the road.

Runtime Error
These occur while applications are running. The only way to cure them is to restart the application.
