Warcraft2: can't get war2edit to work

When I try to run the war2edit.exe, the program appears to partially load 
up (I see the beginnings of a few boxes form) I receive the following error 
message:

		Win32s - Error

		WAR2ED95.EXE
Unhandled Exception detected. (Code: 0x0000005 STEALTH.DRV 1:0007)
	Application will be terminated.


I am using Windows 3.1 and have setup WinG and Win32s.  I have a Diamond 
Stealth 24VLB video card (could that be a problem?).  I am using a 
486dx2-66, 8 MB RAM, SB16, 2X Matsushita CDrom.

Any help would be appreciated.

	You kind of solved your own problem. Wared95 is for Windows 95. Try
using Wared.exe. Thats for normal old ugly Windows 3.1. Get Windows
95, everything new is going to be made for it, dont prolong the agony.

			^^^^^^^^^^^^
The 2 "editor executables" I see on my CD rom are war2edit.exe and 
war2ed95.  I ran war2edit.exe and got the following error.  I just 
figured war2ed95.exe was somehow being used by war2edit.exe.

As for Windows95, well...

Sounds like either:

1) You're not using the latest drivers for your video card, and there
is a bug in the ones you have. Check diamonds web site for the latest
version. (http://www.diamondmm.com)

2) Your video drivers have become corrupted.  Try reinstalling.

I've done exactly that and it now works.  Much thanks!

This is the problem.  You're not using windows 95, but trying to run the win95 
editor.  There is another .exe file that you run for win3.1.

Hope this helps!
