PRB: GP Fault Playing META_SCALEWINDOWEXT Metafile Record ID Number: Q64124

3.00 3.10 WINDOWS buglist3.00 fixlist3.10

Summary:

Under Windows version 3.0, playing a metafile that contains a META_SCALEWINDOWEXT record causes an unrecoverable application error (UAE). Under the debugging version of Windows 3.0, a General Protection Trap #13 error diagnostic results.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.0. This problem was corrected in Windows version 3.1.

More Information:

In version 3.0 of the WINDOWS.H Windows header file, the value of the META_SCALEWINDOWEXT metafile record is defined as 0x0400. Because this value is incorrect, any metafile containing this record causes a UAE.

This problem was corrected in Windows 3.1. The WINDOWS.H file correctly defines the value of the META_SCALEWINDOWEXT metafile record as 0x0410.
