I run Windows NT with MS Office suite, CorelDraw 5.0 and FrameMaker 4.0
(5.0 seems worse).
I have 128 Mb of RAM on a 133 MHz Pentium.
The GPFs come from FrameMaker and CorelDraw, not MS apps, which leads me
to believe it's a software problem and not hardware.
CorelDraw has even given me "out of memory" errors. Go figure.
