MORE INFORMATION

General Protection (GP) Fault

If you run Becker Tools version 2.0 with Windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode and Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0, Becker Tools cannot perform the following commands: Make System, Display FAT, Disk Edit, and Rename Volume. The following error message is displayed when you quit the program: 

   Sector Not Found
   GP fault in Module KRNL386.EXE at 0001:4f50
Becker Tools is MS-DOS-version dependent. Becker Tools version 2.0 does not work correctly with MS-DOS version 5.0.

Becker Tools Delete Option Does Not Work

With Windows 3.1, the Becker Tools Delete option does not work on a file if the Undelete option is set to On. To work around this problem, remove "PCTOOLS" and "NORTONS DATAMON" from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

This problem is corrected in Becker Tools version 3.0.

Becker Tools is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
