Blue Screen Appears, Word Crashes When Using Look Up Reference

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Office Professional for Windows 95, version 7.0
• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

If you are using the CD-ROM version of Microsoft Office Professional for Windows 95, when you click Look Up Reference on the Tools menu of Microsoft Word, the following message appears:

   Please insert the Bookshelf '95 disc in the CD-ROM drive. If the drive
   letter shown below is not the correct drive, please change it.

   Error Reading CD-ROM in Drive D:

   Please Insert CD-ROM OFFICE95 PRO With Serial Number <XXXX-XXXX> in
   Drive D:

   If the CD-ROM is still in the drive, it may require cleaning.

   Press ENTER for OK or ESC to Cancel: OK

If you press ESC to close the message and return to Word, the following message appears:

   This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
   If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

   BS9532 caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at
   0137:bff76633.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when all of the following conditions exist:

• You set up the CD-ROM version of Microsoft Office Professional & Bookshelf for Windows 95.

  -and-

• You choose the Run From CD Setup option and leave Disc 1 in the CD-ROM drive.

  -and-

• You select a word in a Word document and click Look Up Reference on the Tools menu, or if you use the right mouse button to click a word and click Define.

If you do not reinsert Disc 1 after the blue screen appears, the Office program is closed because Windows fails to identify Disc 1 and fails to search for the Office program.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, eject Disc 1 after you install Office and run the Office and Bookshelf programs from Disc 2, labeled Reference/Run from CD- ROM Disc. Disc 2 contains all the program files that are on Disc 1 as well as the Bookshelf content files.

Disc 1, labeled Installation Disc, is intended for installation purposes only.

Note that if you run an Office program from Disc 2 and attempt to remove the compact disc while the program is running, the blue screen again appears.

MORE INFORMATION

If you reinsert Disc 1 and press ENTER after the blue screen appears, you can continue to work in the Office program. The program will not shut down and you can continue working without the risk of losing data.
