exists, or print a document from Microsoft Works Word Processor, you may
receive the following error message: Wkswp caused an
invalid page fault in module Kernel32.dll. CAUSE This issue can occur if the printer driver installed on
your computer is damaged or outdated. Or, Adobe Acrobat PDF Writer is installed
on your system.
RESOLUTION To resolve this issue, obtain the latest printer driver for
your printer from your printer manufacturer. Typically, you can obtain the
latest printer driver from the printer manufacturer's Web site. NOTE: Microsoft recommends that you look for updated printer drivers
at your printer manufacturer's Web site on a regular basis. Printer
manufacturers typically release new drivers for their printers every six
months. To work around this issue, use a different default printer
driver than your current default printer driver when you run Works. To do this:
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
- Double-click Add Printer, and then click Next.
- Click Local printer, and then click Next.
- In the Manufacturers box, click the name of a manufacturer that makes a printer with
features similar to your printer.
- In the Printers box, click the name of a model with features similar to your
printer.
- Click Next.
- In the Available ports box, click the port
your printer is connected to, and then click Next.
- Under Do you want your Windows-based programs to
use this printer as the default printer, click Yes, and then click Next.
NOTE: By selecting the new printer driver as your default printer
driver, you may experience printing issues when you try to print from other
programs. - When you are prompted to print a test page, click
Yes (recommended), and then click Finish.
- When the test page completes printing, click Yes.
- Close the Printers window.
Remove the Adobe Acrobat PDF Writer
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
