Memory Access Violation

Lesson learnt today!

The old application designed for 16 bit or 32-bit may not run properly in new terminal server setting. Believe me we had a big one!! The application was originally designed in/or 16-bit architecture and we tried to run it in new MS Terminal Server will all bell and whistle but it did not work and gave us memory access violation.
To solve this following steps were followed in the MS Terminal Server:
1. Right click My Computer
2. Select Properties
3. Click on Advance System Settings
4. Click on Settings under Advance > Performance
5. Select Data Execution Prevention tab
6. Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select: option
7. Click Add
8. Browse to the exe of the file, it will show up in the "selected" box
9. Click OK


After this the application ran fine.
