Title: Ddhelp caused an invalid page fault...
Post by: NITRO on September 05, 2002, 12:38:12 AM: I frequently get this error, usually after quitting AH. I had DX8.0 and thought upgrading to the latest version would help...to no avail. If I try to restart AH after recieving this error, I get a runtime error and it says something like "application not properly terminated". Anyone have any clues? Running SD-11 mobo and AMD Athlon 700Mhz processor and GEFORCE AGP vid. ALSO, after crashing or getting shot down the screen (and computer) hangs. Anyone have these problems? Thanks,

Alex

Post by: Skuzzy on September 05, 2002, 02:01:06 PM: Nitro, the DDHELP error message usually comes from incorrectly installed video drivers. Incorrectly, in this sense, meaning, at some time some drivers were not removed before installing new ones.
That is usually what will cause this error message.

This is the error I get the next time I try to run AH (without restarting after patch installation)

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

From what I understand, DX 8.1 can not be uninstalled. Hope I'm not screwed!

If it works, then reinstall your video drivers.

Post by: Modas on September 10, 2002, 11:20:14 AM: I get this exact error when I try to ALT-TAB AH down to minimize the game. When I go to maximize the window, I get this error and have to completely reboot the machine.

Was solved by not ALT-Tabbing anymore. :D Unfortunately, I know this was NOT a result of conflicting drivers cuz I've had just done a fresh install of the OS and had only put one set of drivers on the system. Who knows, computers suck anyway. ;)

Post by: eO2 on September 16, 2002, 05:37:55 PM: I have this happen often. I just pull up the task manager then stop dhelp entry with end task. I have to restart the game again though.
