The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, versions 2.0, 2.1
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, versions 2.0, 2.1
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Learning Edition, versions 2.0, 2.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This problem exists only when running the above versions of Microsoft
Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, under Windows 95 M8 Beta.
SYMPTOMS
========
The Visual C++ version 2.0 and 2.1 menu editor causes a general protection (GP)
fault in the M8 beta of Windows 95 when adding a separator to a top level menu
or opening a menu resource with a separator in the top level menu.
RESOLUTION
==========
If it is necessary to edit a resource that contains a top-level menu separator,
you must open the <project>.rc file in a text editor and remove the
top-level menu separators. Then you can use the Resource Editor to edit a menu
resource.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This problem has been corrected in Visual C++ version
2.2.
MORE INFORMATION
