This program has performed an illegal operation and will be terminated. Quit all programs, and then restart your computer.

CAUSE

When it starts, Fleet Defender F14 Simulation attempts to acquire the system's internal MIDI hardware that is virtualized in Windows 95. The above error message is caused by a conflict between the hardware detection routine initiated by Fleet Defender F14 Simulation and the virtualization algorithm used by Windows 95.
