Oh boy. You have a severe case of DLL hell... Which may or may not be the cause of the page faults. But you need to sort out the DLLs first, in any case.
This will not be a definitive analysis... This is off the top of my head. These are my opinions (as a programmer) and informed by some conversations I've had with Microsoft Tech Support in the last month or two. But use this opinion with care and do your own research, too. MSVCRT.DLL is a windows system DLL that is, loosely speaking, the "Microsoft Visual C Run Time Library". MSVCRT is now (Windows 2000, Windows XP) considered a part of Windows. As such, installation software should not be messing with this DLL. In fact, in later versions of Windows, this DLL is protected and you CAN'T mess with it. It can only be updated via Windows and Windows service packs. In general, you want exactly one version of a given DLL. There are exceptions, which I choose to ignore <grin>. For MSVCRT you want this one version to be on the executable search path, and the "windows system" directory, usually \Windows\System32 or \Winnt\System32 needs to be on that path... So "the system directory" is a good place for it. You may or may not want the latest version of a given DLL. In the case of MSVCRT, you want the one that is best compatible with the version of windows you are running. (search www.microsoft.com or msdn.microsoft.com for info about which shipped with what... I didn't keep that printout). This will not be the highest version number of MSVCRT unless you are running the latest version of windows (ie, XP). I know this is a weak statement, but it's the best one can do. The version on my machine is 6.1.8924.0 -- which is Windows 2000 Professional Service pack 2 -- but I have the Visual Studio .NET software installed so I doubt this is "normal". It should be different for Win 98, Me, or whatever. Many packages, particularly non-commercial ones (including those written in-house) do not respect these rules and can easily create these kinds of situations... _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
