DDHelp error msg (W98)

[Lori72]

I've been getting frequent error msg saying "DDHelp caused general protection error in ...". Then my internet connection shuts down. Can't find the cause in Windows knowledge base on error msgs. Has anyone solved this one?

protection error in ...what? (is important)

Otherwise I can find nothing either.

Didn't know the rest would help. I think I copied the whole msg but if not, I know it will happen again probably today .. so I'll be more careful with the details. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply. It's confusing because the only game I play is Solitaire occasionally, but that's not even online. And the error msg doesn't show up unless I'm online and it shuts my internet connection off. I'll try the suggestions on the link you found and see if it helps. At least now I know the error is connected to a draw program. Thanks again.
