I am using Win 98 second ed in a computer to run software to operate an old hard drive base videotape machine but for some reason I keep getting a General Protection Fault when I open the software. The computer is a Gateway 2000 PII 266mhz 128m ram. I have checked the win.ini, autoexec.bat, config.sys, start up and registry to see if it is being caused by a program at start up but the only thing in the registry besides systray & windows is scan disk. I have read that GPF's are sometimes caused by programs trying to use the same DLL or memory but how do I check this?
Does anyone know what the below means?

VTPRO220 caused a general protection fault
in module <unknown> at 0000:0000400b.
