Hello!
I have recently gone back and gotten every PC Gamer CD from the first one in 1994 through 1998 and gotten them running through emulation. I used MS-DOS up until January of 1996. In February of 1996 I began using win 3.1 through June of 1998. In July of 1998, the menu system changed and was designed for Win 95\98. However, I can not actually get the July 98 or Aug 98 disks running, both give page faults in win95 and win98. However, Sept 98-Dec98 all work fine in my emulated win98 environment.

The specific error is:
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

When I click "details", I get:
PCGAMER caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0137:bff9a28c.

Followed by the exact registers.

For what it's worth, i have tried emulating 95 and 98 in both various dosbox environments and PCem. I get the same error in both, which leads me to believe it is not an emulation issue.

I have tried googling the error, and nothing I've seen has been helpful so far. I figured my last chance would be to ask here and see if anyone else has dealt with this or not. I would love to have all of the demo disks running properly. Thanks!

Do you still need help? I am waiting for your reply and till then I will visit https://studyclerk.com/research-paper-for-sale here because I am looking for a site online where I can find research papers for sale and I found that website with good reviews. When I am done with my research after that I will come back here.
