Re: [Audyssey] Something to try
Hi, Well, I'd imagine so. Generally I deal with full retail versions of Windows, but I'm sure the OEM versions of Windows that ship with a PC should have the System Tools setup on the disc as well. The only case I can think of where they would not be on the cd/dvd is the new OEM versions that are installed from a partition instead of a physical cd or dvd disc. As we are beginning to stray off topic here any more questions about the Windows System Tools should be addressed to me off list. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Something to try
Hi Tom. I tried to do what you had set out in your message to all of us but I have been finding that I am getting stuck. what I did was I went in to my computer in to the local disk c then created a new folder cald test then I tried coppeying all the files from the usa games folder from my program files in to that folder. then I went in to run and typed in cmd and that is where I am getting stuck since I can't seem to figger out what to do next. I tried looking around using the tab key for the folder and couldn't find it. I also tried just putting in the.exe file in the folder I cald test and when I went back in to run and typed cmd and still I couldn't find it. note I had to reboot each time since I couldn't figger out how to get out of the cmd when I put it in to run. I have notest that I get the blue screen when I try to exit the game and my pc re starts. I am running windows xp sp 3 if that helps. If you could possibly tell me where I went wrong with trying to find the error messages that would be grate. many thanks. from Mich. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2010 12:26 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Something to try HI all, Tonight while debugging/testing Mysteries of the Ancients I realised there is still something we haven't tried to do in order to track down that blue screen error.

Re: [Audyssey] Something to try
With cmd, what you need to do is act like t was a dos machine. Which is to say that all your comands have to be typed out. So to start the game, you would type the direct path to the file.. so C:\test\filename for the game.exe. I don't know what the actual file name is, hence the file name of the game substitution. And to exit command prompt, just type exit. - Original Message - From: Mich m...@ntl.sympatico.ca To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2010 12:38 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Something to try Hi Tom.

Re: [Audyssey] Something to try
Hi Kevin, Well, it stands to reason if you aren't getting any errors and the game isn't crashing on exit there wouldn't be any error messages to redirect to a file either. The same seams to be true for the debugger. I tried debugging it using the Visual C++ and the MinGW debuggers and according to them all the exit codes were perfect. No stray pointers, memory is properly freed up on exit, and everything shuts down normally. However, the fact some people are getting a stop error, AKA Blue Screen of Death, something is obviously not as perfect as the debugger would have me believe. Although, if I could actually get the stop error code from some of these crashes I could research it with Microsoft's MSDN Library for a cause. However, stop errors of that sort are usually the result of hard ware failure not software failure.

Re: [Audyssey] Something to try
Hi Willem, Hmmm...Ok, that was just a hunch of mine. Is there any possibility any of you can actually get the stop error code? What I'm talking about is when the blue screen comes up it will present you with a stop error code. Usually it is a hex code starting with 0x. If I could get that hex code I can research the cause of the problem and determine if the problem is hardware or software related. Windows generally doesn't blue screen and produce a stop error unless there is something very seriously wrong with your system. As I can't in anyway shape or form reproduce the bug there has to be something about your computers the game just doesn't like,or more correctly, something your computer doesn't like about my game. Getting that stop error code is essential in determining why Windows is crashing when the program exits. On 10/16/10, Willem Venter dwill...@gmail.com wrote: Hi thomas.

Re: [Audyssey] Something to try
Hi Mich, The Windows command prompt is like using Dos. That means you have to type shell comands into the command prompt to get around. I gave directions in my original message what to do. To change directory you use the cd command. For example, cd\test will open the test directory. To close the command prompt window you have to type exit and the window will close. There is definitely no need to reboot your computer. Cheers! On 10/16/10, Mich m...@ntl.sympatico.ca wrote: Hi Tom.

Re: [Audyssey] Something to try
Hi Mich, Usually, Windows places the results of a blue screen in a minidump file located in c:\Windows\Minidump. The files are usually dated as well. For example, a system crash for today would be called something like Mini101610-01.dmp which would be todays date and the first saved crash for that date. The crash reports can be recovered by a program called dumpchk which basically reads back the state of the system at the time of the crash. So if you can send me the latest dmp file or so that would help. Cheers!

Hi, I see. The dump check utility is a part of the Microsoft System Tools package. It is an optional package for Windows XP. You can find a copy on your Windows XP cd. Just insert the XP cd go to System\Tools\Setup and install them.

[Audyssey] Something to try
HI all, Tonight while debugging/testing Mysteries of the Ancients I realised there is still something we haven't tried to do in order to track down that blue screen error. Most of you don't know this but cross-platform libraries such as SFML often out put error messages directly to the console, or in Windows the command prompt. Since most of us are use to dialog boxes, message boxes, and all the other Windows trappings I doubt it ocurred to anyone before now to try and launch the program from the command prompt to see if there are any error codes etc printed to the screen. So that's what we need to do. What I would do if I were you guys is copy the installation files to a test directory like c:\test and then open the command prompt window by typing cmd into the run dialog box and pressing enter. Now, for you Windows newbies that know nothing about Dos commands change to the test directory we created by doing a cd\test and pressing enter. Now, simply type tomb and press enter. The game should launch and play. When you exit the game there should be error messages printed to the screen if there were any encountered. Let me know your results. Thanks. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
