SYMPTOMS

When you try to save a Word Processing or Database document that contains an object such as a bitmap and your hard disk is full, you may receive a "disk full" (without the quotation marks) error message. When you increase disk space you can save the document.

However, when you reopen the document, the object is not visible. If you try to resize the invisible object, you receive the following general protection (GP) fault:
MSWORKS caused a General Protection Fault in module MSWORKS.EXE at XXXX:XXXX

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 3.0 for Windows. This problem is corrected in Works versions 3.0a and 3.0b for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION
