The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a

SUMMARY

Microsoft Windows version 3.0 runs properly in all modes on a computer using the OptiStar WORM driver version 4.01. OptiStar drivers, which are made by Corel Corporation, are used on a wide variety of WORM optical drives. WORM drives (Write Once Read Many) are SCSI host-adapter drives used for permanent storage of data. Data is "burned" onto the removable optical disk.

MORE INFORMATION

Attempting to access the drive while running the driver version 3.01 under Windows in enhanced mode returns the error "This application has violated system integrity." Upgrading your OptiStar software to version 4.01q (or later) should resolve this problem.
