General Fault in Windows for Workgroups 3.11 for Help Files

[nickkeane]

I have a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 instance running in 86Box for 16-bit development. I've installed the latest version of Open Watcom on there. Whenever I go to open a help (.hlp) file for Open Watcom or go to Help->Contents in the IDE, I get a general protection fault error:

By contrast, Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0 HLP files are working fine. The Open Watcom IDE also seems to be working otherwise.

Edit: Nevermind, creating a source file caused the IDE to crash.

Thank you for your problem report.
It looks like 16-bit Windows help files are damaged.
I don't understand you note
"Edit: Nevermind, creating a source file caused the IDE to crash."
Please could you explain.

Yeah, the IDE looked like it was working, but it crashes when i create a new source file. When I create a project, set target environment to Win16 and image type as Executable, it creates the project. Then, when clicking Sources -> New Source and entering "main.c" and clicking Add or pressing the Enter key, the IDE crashes.
