Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

When I change from one lay out to anouther I get a general protection fault and have to shut my computer down to reboot so I can get back into P3.1.

I was having some what same kind of problem but while printing on a different printer then default.

What I did was to disbale every other program that is not needed for windows startup (xp) and the problem was resolved.

You can re-enable your favorite programs one by one while checking if it still conflicts with P3 files or not.

Hopefully, this will help.

Cheers

I ran pfxw for the schedule I’m having trouble with (rebuild project files, cross checkproject files and compact project file) and I made a new copy of the schedule. Also, I stipped trying to print to (sometimes this will cause a fault) Adobe. So far I’ve not had an error. I hope this fixes it, It is a half hour waiting for me computer to reboot so I may restart P3.

David,

I believe that Omar was referring to the P3 utility program,

C:\P3WIN\P3PROGS\PFXW.exe

Also, sometimes copying the schedule and using the copy helps. Good luck!

Hi david - have you run the pfix.exe for your schedule/project - this sometimes fixes these kind of problems

cheers,

Omar
