SH2 - Problems

Thanks, Palindromeria. Yes, I think I am safer messing with the Win98 machine as well and will concentrate on that one. I have read elsewhere that you sometimes need to choose your devices rather than let the config do it for you and have been playing around with this a bit, but will continue - lots of variations to try.

Thanks again.

Anyone ever heard of SH2 getting stuck with full bottom red bar on Win98 when trying to load any mission? I can add a bit more to this now. The Win98 machine has a Matrox Millenium G400 graphics card with 32mb of memory and supports 3Direcx 8.0a.

I have had a poke around and the Janus.txt file in the shell/scenarios folder shows a violation. This is never printed out as the machine crashes before a scenario loads, but I wonder if this is the cause of my problem.

The log file says:

Janus main EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION: 43bf4b
Access violation: Read from location ffffffff
Registers:
EAX=0082f17c CS=0177 EIP=0043bf4b EFLGS=00010246
EBX=00000000 SS=017f ESP=0082f16c EBP=00a63360
ECX=ffffffff DS=017f ESI=ffffffff FS=0d0f
EDX=00000000 ES=017f EDI=00000000 GS=0000

Anyone ever come across that before? A search of the archives shows that someone once had the same error in Destroyer Commnad, but no one ever gave him an answer!

Thanks again for any help anyone can give me.
