Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Rick (nbi88) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: sox won't run under Windows 98SE Initial Comment: Running sox.exe generates "This program has performed an illegal operation" message. Versions 14.3.2 and 14.4.0 are affected; reverting to version 14.3.1 resolves the issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Rick (nbi88) Date: 2013-03-03 17:52 Message: If you are asking if I've looked at the source code, sorry, I have not. At the moment, all I know is that running sox.exe (or even the Win32 installer) immediately produces the error message. It's probably not worth looking into any further because, as bat999 indicated, Win98 is ancient. Besides, I could always use an older version, which seems to work fine. The shortcuts play.exe and rec.exe are not included with the older versions, but sox.exe can, of course, be used instead. Thanks for your interest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ulrich Klauer (uklauer) Date: 2013-02-18 16:51 Message: Can you find out what the “illegal operation” is and where in the code it happens? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Rick (nbi88) Date: 2013-02-18 10:57 Message: Your point is certainly valid and I certainly understand. It's too bad, though, because there are so many old (and inexpensive) computers out there that are still functional and they can sometimes be put to use doing some low-level mundane tasks. I will see how it goes with the older version. (By the way, I use Windows 98 *only* when experimenting with old computers.) Thank you for your time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: bat (bat999) Date: 2013-02-17 12:56 Message: Hi According to Wikipedia, Windows 98 operating system has been unsupported by Microsoft since 2006. SoX cannot be expected to run on Windows 98 OS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=110706&aid=3544840&group_id=10706 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
