Tasa Graphic Arts, Inc. - Windows XP Unhandled Exception Error message

Unhandled Exception c0000005

Many of our Windows "Auto-Launch" programs are
considered "legacy" applications by Windows XP (Service Pack 2).

If you access one of our CD-ROMs or DVD-ROMs from a Restricted User Account
on Windows XP, you MAY see this error message when the CD-ROM auto-starts.

Upgrades that solve this problem are available for:

The Theory of Plate Tectonics
Explore the Planets
Introduction to Topographic Maps
Study of Minerals

For other Tasa programs here are a few possible solutions:

Browse the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM to find the application icon (it typically has a "projector" icon). You could also make an alias on your desktop to this projector. This alias will work fine when the disc is in the the drive.

Have your system administrator turn-off the "auto-play" feature. You would then browse the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM to find the application icon (it typically has a "projector" icon). You could also make an alias on your desktop to this projector.

Copy the entire contents of the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM to a folder on your computer. Then launch the program from this folder (browse the folder to find the application icon. You could also make an alias on your desktop to this projector.)

Ignore the error each time by closing the warning dialog boxes. Then browse the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM to find the application icon (it typically has a "projector" icon). You could also make an alias on your desktop to this projector.

ANOTHER POSSIBILITY that has NOT been verified is to have the system administrator add a "compatibility security template" to the restricted access group. This option is still being researched.
