Q90726

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11
 * Microsoft WinLogin, version 1.0

-

SYMPTOMS
When running Microsoft WinLogin on a workstation (client) and exiting or saving the current configuration, you may receive the following error message:

WINLOGIN caused a General Protection Fault in module WLDAPI.DLL at 0001:AFB3

CAUSE
This error occurs if the length of any key (entry on the left side of the equal sign) in an .INI file that WinLogin is managing exceeds 63 characters in length.

RESOLUTION
To avoid this error, make sure that there are no key entries exceeding 63 characters in length in any .INI file managed by WinLogin.

For example:

  [DummySection] ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJK=1 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKL=1 The first entry is a valid key (63 characters), while the second entry (64 characters) is not and results in the general protection (GP) fault.

STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
