Stack Fault Or General Protection Fault When Starting ShareVision In Windows 3.X

Problem:

When starting the ShareVision software, one of the following error messages occurs:

Stack Fault Error in module COMMENG.DLL

ShareVision caused a General Protection Fault in module SCLIB.DLL

Solution:

You may encounter one of the above error messages due to a lack of system resources, although the Program Manager indicates sufficient memory to run the ShareVision software.

To rectify this problem, please carry out the following procedures:

Exit to DOS and check the amount of available memory. If conventional memory is below 580K, you may need to optimize memory or remove TSRs to run ShareVision.
Restart Windows. During long Windows sessions, you may need to exit Windows and restart to free system resources not released by programs when they close.
Remove any unneeded program groups or icons. (A large number of program groups or icons can steal system resources.)

The above steps should free enough system resources to enable the ShareVision software to start without error.
