Memory conflict in XP Pro SP2
I have been trying to troubleshoot a memory error that occurs when loading
Pinnacle Video software. It totatlyy crashes Veriosn 9 which came with a video capture box. It also occurs (but does not totally crash Soundforge audio editor.) The more I look it seems like a direct x thing(eg. when scanning for Direct X plugins etc.) Running DXDIAG - I have an error with the DIRECTSHOW segment - won't run - crashes DXDIAG. Running Direct X 9.0c (latest) ============= The exact error is: "Instructrion at 0x0150415b referrenced memory at "0x00000000." The memory could not be written. ============= System: Win XP Pro SP2 1 gig RAM AMD athlon XP2400 CPU (2gightz) Sound card - Turtle Beach Catalina (latest drivers) Video card - NVIDIA GeForce 4200 Ti with AGP (latest drivers - Dec 2005) BIOS - up to date - just flashed Any help here would be appreciated. MY Christmas week has already been messed up enough. Thanks, Tom L |

Memory conflict in XP Pro SP2
Have you opened event viewer and chk the events/warning for the
installation.. Also,SP2 has alot of requirments for drivers,unsigned drivers create a problem in SP2,you might chk for updates from the mfg web site for SP2.Also,you might open device mgr,update drivers for the card,select "let me install" (advanced), browse to the pinnacle cd,let xp install driver.In xp you'll need the drivers,but with software,windows encoder 9 series and its utilitys will replace the software and its probably much better....

Memory conflict in XP Pro SP2
Andrew:
it tool some 'googling' just to find out how to find the Administartive Tools applet and make it visible - so I learned something new. I also tried to check the errors from the Admin Login instead of my regular user login. Same error results in memory. The Event Viewer showed ID 26 "Application Popup". The text is pretty much the same as I typed in before. ====snip==== Application popup: RunDLL32.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x0121415b" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "written". Click on OK to terminate the program Click on CANCEL to debug the program For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. ====end snip====== Following the link to Microsoft for event 26 you get this box: ++++++++++++++ Explanation The program could not load a driver because the program user doesn't have sufficient privileges to access the driver or because the drive is missing or corrupt. User Action To correct this problem: Ensure that the program user has sufficient privileges to access the directory in which the driver is installed. Reinstall the program to restore the driver to the correct location. +++++ It must be a basic Windows System driver that's corrupt - but wondering WHICH ONE? Should I do an in-place re-install. Re-install just SP2?? I downloaded the newest Microsoft Video Codecs etc today as well. No joy. I stiil get an erro just running the Directr X checker DXDIAG. Previously had run a full memory stick diagnostics on RAM "memtestX86". All memory was error free. There's a bad driver in there - how to find it? PS - the video encoder hardware is USB based and NOT a PCI card plug in so the drivers are pretty basic. The errors are occurring in all kinds of software now. Ran Microsoft's DECCHECK.EXE - it crashed too. Thanks, Tom L "Andrew E." wrote: Have you opened event viewer and chk the events/warning for the installation..

Memory conflict in XP Pro SP2
SOLUTION from MICROSOFT!!!
Jane Yan in Customer Support has solved it!!!! It was the DEP function in SP2. (Data Execution Protection) Here is her exact course of action: ===paste=== I suggest we first do not reinstall Windows or SP2. This issue can be caused by one of the following factors: 1. The corrupted display card driver. 2. The DEP function. 3. The program conflict. I suggest we first roll back the display card driver and check our issue again: 1. Click "Start", go to "Run", type in "devmgmt.msc" and press "Enter". 2. Double click to expand "Display Adapters". 3. Right click your display card and click "Properties". 4. Click the "Driver" tab and click "Roll Back Driver". Then please check our issue again. If not work, I suggest we disable the DEP function and check our issue again: This issue can be caused by the Data Execute Protection (DEP) function in Service Pack 2. To resolve the issue, please follow the steps below: For Windows XP Professional --------------------------- 1. Please click "Start" menu = click "Run" = type "cmd" without quotation marks and click "OK". 2. Type or copy the following commands into the prompt window: Note: Please do not press Enter key until you see the (Press Enter Key) prompt. Bootcfg /raw "/noexecute=alwaysoff /fastdetect" /id 1 (Press Enter Key) Shutdown -r -f -t 0 (Press Enter Key) ===end paste==== What a relief! Thanks Jane! Tom L.
