Installing Media Vision Windows 3.1 Drivers Causes GP Fault (135141)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q135141 SYMPTOMS
When you install the Windows 3.1 drivers for your Media Vision MV-1100
sound card and then restart your computer, you may receive an error message
stating that the Mcicda.drv, Mmmixer.dll, Msmixer.dll, and Mvi514mx.drv
files have been replaced with older versions and that you should run Setup
again. If you do not run Setup, but instead restart Windows 95, you receive
a general protection (GP) fault error message. Afterward, you can start
Windows 95 only in Safe mode.
CAUSE
The Media Vision Deluxe Windows 3.1 drivers are not compatible with
Windows 95.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, restart your computer to a command prompt, and then
run Setup again to reinstall Windows 95 over the existing installation. To
do this, follow these steps:
- Restart Windows 95, press the F8 key when you see the "Starting Windows
95" message, and then choose Command Prompt Only from the Startup menu.
- Reinstall Windows 95 and choose to verify files if you are prompted.
NOTE: If you installed Windows 95 from a CD-ROM, you may need to enable
the Mscdex.exe line in the Autoexec.bat file or reinstall the real-mode
CD-ROM drivers included with the CD-ROM drive before you can reinstall
Windows 95.
