Assert Failed

My system specs a XP Home, Version 2002, SP3; HW: AMD Sempron 2500+,
1.74GHz, 1GB RAM (I know, a real screamer!)
Recently started getting two error messages coming up in sequence
immediately after logging in:
box 1: from “Assert”
ASSERT FAILED\Projects\wtKernel\src\Win32\cm\Core\cmCodeM odule.cpp:90
m_CodeHandle !=NULL
“OK”
box 3: from ddcmigrate.exe – Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0x80000003). Click on OK
to terminate the application.
“OK”

Would someone please help me resolve this problem?
Thank you,
Carl Hordesky

some software or
process known as
"assert" is not able
to initiate

but something is trying
to make it run/launch.

if it is a program that
you know, then you may
want to reinstall it.

if it is a program that
you never heard of,
then it may have been
zapped by your anti virus
program.

in the case of it being
an infection, the anti virus
may have zapped the
critical/malicious file,

however, the parent files
are still trying to launch it.

thus the windows message
advising you that the process
failed to launch.

It's caused by Wild Tangent crap. Get rid of it.

Assert is not a program, it's a programming tool to help with debugging. It
should not even be in released code.

It implies that some state which should exist doesn't, and that's why the
particular program is halting.

As mentioned, this seems to be part of the Wild Tangent game environment, so
removing or disabling those should clear the problem.

A little (very little) Googling implicates Wild Tangent.

Here is some advice that may help you:

Wild Tangent makes a lot of little games that probably came
preinstalled on your computer. It usually has an updater (good to
disable that). Use the System Configuration Utility to see what is
starting with Windows and disable it - look for anything connected
with Wild Tangent.

StartRunmsconfig [enter]

This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup
tab and find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name,
Apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next
time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just
tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".

I would reboot after making the MSCONFIG changes and tell the message
to go away.

Please let us know if this does the trick.

DB Ben, first I salute your Armed Forces service. 2nd, thank you for the
tip. If AV caught the malicious, great - at least I didn't get nailed.
However, I'd still like to get rid of the nuisance messages. 'Any
suggestion on how I can tell what program is tryting to launch?

Did you miss the replies from John John and Jose?

Wild Tangent (games) is the suspect program.

Thank you carlh for asking this question. I was having the same issue, and
everything was saying it was connected to Windows 2000. To bad I don't have
that. XP is a bit different.

And thank you to everyone else for the answers. I hadn't installed the
wildtangent games for a few years, this time I did. BIG mistake. Now I know.

Thanks to all for the help.
