Q: From time to time I have a "General protection fault" in Reminder. The screen looks funny, the mouse cursor freezes, etc. What can I do?

A: Often the bug isn't in Reminder, but the video driver. This is a component of Windows supplied by the manufacturer of the video card. First you should see if the same problems occur with the standard VGA driver. If not, you should ask your vendor for a new driver, or look on the Internet for an updated driver. If you experience the same problems with the VGA card and no other programs are running when the error occurs, you should send us a bug report.
