 * You receive and Invalid Page Fault message.


 * The screen display is corrupted.

This behavior occurs if the directory for receiving a file in the Communications module is set to a floppy drive.

MORE INFORMATION
To change the Receive directory in a Works communications file, do the following:


 * 1) On the Settings menu, click Transfer.
 * 2) Click Directory and select the desired directory on the hard disk.
