@SUB TITLES = Internal System Errors
@ARTICLE PAL = <MI>Steve: HELP! I am constantly plagued by the <%4>appearance
of the <169>Internal System Error!<170> <%0>messages when running
Ventura. What do these cryptic numbers associated with these errors
mean?<D>
@ARTICLE PAL = <BI>Jason Billings <197> Atlanta, GA<D>
@HELV10 BOLD =
@ARTICLE PAL = <%6>As the Reference Guide says, this<%0> mes<%2>sage
indicates that RAM memory may<%0> have been corrupted. This corruption
may be caused by a number of different things, <%4>including background
utilities, a bad<%0> RAM chip, or <197> the unthinkable <197> a bug
in Ventura Publisher.
@ARTICLE PAL = <%2><%0>
@ARTICLE PAL = <%2>In version 1.1, this message occurred because many
people ran Ventura with very<%0> little conventional memory remaining.
In version 2.0, Ventura requires that at least 100K<%2> of conventional
memory be available prior to starting the program (less than 50K is<%0>
required when running the Professional Extension). This keeps temporary
<%6>buffers from overflowing and possibly<%0> corrupting areas of
RAM memory.
@ARTICLE PAL = <%4><%0>
@ARTICLE PAL = <%4>If an Internal System Error does occur, do not
continue modifying your chapter.<%0> Immediately turn to <B>Appendix
C<D> of the Reference <%6>Guide and follow the steps given there<%0>
exactly. Those steps are repeated here:
@ARTICLE PAL =
@HELV10 BOLD = <F129P12M><140><F255P255D> Do not make any further changes
to your chapter.
@HEL10BLD 2ND = <F129P12M><141><F255P255D> Use the Set Preferences option
to change Keep Backup Files to <169>YES<170>.
@HEL10BLD 2ND = <F129P12M><142><F255P255D> Use the <169>Save As<170> option
and save the chapter under a different name than shown in the Title
Bar.
@HEL10BLD 2ND = <F129P12M><143><F255P255D> QUIT from Ventura Publisher.
@HEL10BLD 2ND = <F129P12M><144><F255P255D> Re-boot your computer and then
run Ventura Publisher again. Re-load the<%4> chapter. If the message
appears again, contact Xerox Technical support for<%0> further assistance.
@ARTICLE PAL = <%2>You asked what the numbers which<%0> <%4>appear
in the Internal System Error<%0> messages alert mean. Here is an explanation
of the most common ones.
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>System Error 19:<D> Memory access outside of proper
address range. Probably caused by a bad data structure, software could
not recover, or a bug in code.
@ARTICLE PAL = <%4><%0>
@ARTICLE PAL = <B%4>System Errors 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, <%6>13,<D>
<B>15, 16, 21, 82, 83, 150, 151:<D> Ventura<%2> internal memory manager
is corrupted. The numbers identify the location within<%0> Ventura
Publisher code where the error occurred. These errors are more serious
than System 19 and you <%10>may not be able to save the chapter<%0>
successfully.
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>System Error 25:<D> Text line element error. Display
is corrupted, but no loss of data.
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>System Error 9999:<D> <%4>Illegal serial number.<%0>
This occurs only in a network environment <%2>where the user must
have a legal serial<%0> number. <188>
