File: 32-Bit Mode & System 7 Produces Error
Last reviewed: October 27, 1994

Article ID: Q78272

Summary:

Microsoft File for the Macintosh versions 2.0 and 2.0a may display the following message in System 7.0:

The application &quot;Microsoft File&quot; has unexpectedly quit, because an error of type 1 occurred. This happens because 32-bit addressing mode is turned on. To correct this problem, follow the steps below:


 * 1) From the Apple menu, choose Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click the Memory icon.
 * 3) Click the Off button in the 32-Bit Addressing section.

Unfortunately, the Centris 660AV, Quadra 660AV, and Quadra 840AV cannot run in 24-bit mode. File will frequently give unexpected crashes on those machines, and Microsoft does not recommend running File on those machines. In addition, future Macintoshes may also only run in 32-bit mode.

More Information:

The error message could also state:

The application &quot;unknown&quot; has unexpectedly quit, because an error of type 1 occurred. The Centris 840av and Centris 660av have no option to turn off 32 bit addressing so, File 2.0 and 2.0a will not run properly on these machines under system 7.
