SYMPTOMS
The following STOP error message appears when DRWTSN32.EXE is called to handle a user mode exception (this STOP error message is preceded by Dr. Watson errors in the event log):

STOP: 0x0000001E (0xC0000005, 0x801992b7, 0x00000000, 0x00000010)

NOTE: The first, second, and fourth parameters (such as 0xC0000005, 0x801992b7, and 0x00000010) are specific to your system configuration.

To correct this problem, upgrade to Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 3.
