Trying to Install a Win 3.1 Application into Win XP Pro

[Guest]

I cannot get a Hallmark Connections Card Studio program to install on my Win XP Pro computer.

I keep receiving and "Application Error" pop-up that says: "CSTUDIO caused a General Protection Fault in module CSTUDIO. EXE at 0006.1176.

Choose close. CSTUDIO will close."

Then the installation process closes completely.

Initially, I thought that it was just too old, as it is a Win 3.1 - 16 bit - program. However, it was successfully installed on another computer connected to my home network, which is also running Win XP Pro.

My question, What could be blocking the installation on one computer but not the other?

Thanks.

Probably mismatched versions of dlls.

Type tasklist /m while the program is still open to see what dlls it is using.

David, Not sure how I get to the stage where I type the command, as I can't get the program to install/open. Am I missing something? Thanks for the response.

It should be in memory when the error dialog is shown.
