ISSET_SE Caused a General Protection
Fault... |
| |
During
the installation of Africa Trail® the error message "ISSET_SE caused
a GPF in module [various]" may appear. This issue is most often due
to an anti-virus program running in the background, in addition,
using Point32 or MSWheel mouse programs may cause the error. The
issue may also due to a conflict between the mouse driver and the
actual mouse device being used. Closing all TSRs, or installing the
correct mouse driver should resolve the issue.
Closing Background Applications
- Make sure there are no programs running in the background.
Hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys at the same time. While these
keys are being pressed, tap the Delete key once.
- This will open a "Close Program" window, listing all the
programs that are currently running. It is necessary to close
all programs except Explorer and Systray. To do this,
click on a name in the list, then click on the "End Task"
button. The display will return to the desktop. Press
Ctrl-Alt-Delete to return to the Close Program window.
- Continue closing all background programs until just Explorer
and Systray are shown in the Close Program window, then press
the Cancel button.
Note: Some virus-scan programs, such as Norton Anti-Virus, must be
disabled before the above procedure will work. Consult your
Anti-Virus' program documentation for instructions on how to
temporarily disable it.
Verify the Correct Mouse Driver
- In the device manager, compare the listed mouse driver with
the actual mouse attached to the computer.
- If the listed mouse driver is incorrect, remove and
re-install your mouse drivers.
