SYMPTOMS
If you are using Microsoft Project for Windows along with App Meter metering software, and you are working with a consolidated file on a network system, you may receive a general protection (GP) fault, or your computer may hang.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:

 Set the working directory for the project to a directory on your local drive.  Remove or remark out the following line in the WIN.INI: LOAD=AMWIN.EXE This line loads the network software metering package. 

NOTE: Another possible workaround is to set switches for AMWIN.EXE. For more information about these switches, call Funk Software at (617) 497- 6339.

MORE INFORMATION
If you are using App Meter and Microsoft Project for Windows, and you are also using a consolidated project file with the working directory pointing to any network drive, your system may hang or you may be forced to exit Windows when you close the Consolidated file or when you attempt to quit Microsoft Project.
