This is all the information I have on wowexe, hope it helps you.
When a WinXP Home computer runs 16-bit applications it produces the following
error message: -
WOWEXEC caused a General Protection Fault in module MMSYSTEM.DLL at 000A:0032
WOWEXEC is short for "Windows on Windows Execute" and is a helper program used
to run 16-bit applications under NT and XP.
A 16-bit program can give this error message when WOWEXEC is already running
when the 16-bit program is started.
Make sure that WOWEXEC is not left in memory when a 16-bit program is closed.
To do this:
1. Log in as the administrator.
2. Run Regedit.exe (in \Windows).
3. Go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WOW
4. Look for the entry DefaultSeparateVDM, and change it to Yes.
5. Close Regedit.
Another possibility is that the path name to the 16-bit program is longer than
128 characters. To solve this problem relocate the program on a path with a
shorter name.
Note you can save the registry key first by:
On the File menu, click Export.
In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save.
Or create a system restore point prior to editing.
Note: If the registry key is not there, you can simply create one by going edit
