Hi, I have the same exact problem. After looking through my logs, I also thought that the several BSOD's were because of Maple. I have never gotten a BSOD before and I am very safe about my downloading habits. I recieved a Stop Error the first time while I was playing mapleStory. Later on, I recieved another BSOD while I wasn't playing MS. Now, they keep on occurring at random times. I think it may be caused by a new nProtect Patch or something, but I am not sure. My computer is now very unstable. Anyone know how to solve this?
Anonymous,
Do NOT click on sponsored links. Typically, these companies are companies that you never heard of and their chief objective is to plant malware on your computer.
I also do not believe that there is a software program out there, which can fix a BSOD. Why? Because the causes of BSODs are too varied. Just think that a BSOD can be caused by malfunctioning hardware, hardware drivers, operating systems or one of thousands of application software. Within each individual application program, there are thousands of potential causes for a BSOD.
They say that the new Vista contains 50 million lines of code. If only 10% of the lines of code could cause a BSOD that is still 5 million lines of code. Now multiply that times all of the application software, operating systems, drivers and nope a BSOD program does not exist.
Typically, the problem can only be solved by uninstalling the offending program. I fixed by my BSOD problem by uninstalling the program and re-installing a later version of the program, which did not have the problem.
I ran my computer for weeks to confirm that the removal of that program was the cause. Then I did a search for a later version.
Malevolence42,
I did a Google search on "Maple Story problems" and it had numerous links about problems with MS, so I would suggest uninstalling MS.
Cheers,
Linda

Maple Story, Norton the whole thing.
When I go to event viewer all I get is this.
Category: (102)
Type: Error
Event ID: 1003
Error code 100000ce, parameter1 b9b0acea, parameter2 00000000, parameter3 b9b0acea, parameter4 00000000.
I didn't see this error before the last update of Game Guard and now I just got it the second time.
I also had the Norton Protected files problem but it seems to have stopped.
My best guess is (if you don't want to un-install Maple Story) is wait for the next patch and hope it stops the problem. E-mailing them the error might help with that.
Hello, all
I have been experiencing random Norton shutdowns for about 1 to 2 months from today, and it is rather strange, and I did not suspect that MapleStory had anything to do with it. However, the BSOD problem surfaced for me, starting from last week. Gameguard, as I recall, has release about 2 updates within the last 2 weeks. The first one was obviously very intrusive and was a bad patch, because I use ProcessGaurd--I have a plethora of undetected bugs and viruses in my computer--and it reported that gamegaurd.des (the GameGuard file responsible for scanning for cheat programs) was basically modifying every single active program I was running. Naturally, ProcessGaurd protected my programs from this strange behavior from GameGuard (why should it modify when it should be reading???), and it caused GameGuard to fail to initilize. INCA seems to have noticed, and GameGuard was patched withing 24 hours.
Now, the dilema is, as mentioned, the BSOD problems. It began after the latest and concurrent patch for GameGuard. Yes, I am very sure that it has something to do with MapleStory (and GameGuard as well). The BSOD happens for sure after random disconnecting from the server, saying that GameGuard has failed (while you are still playing). Also, if no problems arose and you quit MapleStory, it will still give you a BSOD eventually, even though GameGuard and MapleStory are no longer active processes.
GameGuard should be working on a new patch that cures this problem because it is mentally devastating to those who love Maple (I know I do) :mad:
Maybe a detail of MapleStory's actions may help the doc diagnose the underlying problems :(
maplestory.exe starts
gameguard.des starts
nProtect GameGuard Launcher is trying to change your network settings by modifying the file: WINDRVDIR\etc\hosts
gameguard.des accesses the internet (to check for updates and patches)
gamemon.des starts
nProtect Game Monitor (gamemon.des) is trying to communicate with C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE by opening its process
maplestory.exe accesses the internet (to start the game)
This may not be the entire startup sequence, but I am highly skeptical of the part where gameguard launcher actually changes my network settings. Do you think anything here would cause the driver to be unloaded prematurely?
IMO, no program should be changing your network settings or anthing else on your computer without your knowledge and agreement to the changes.
This sounds very similar to a company running amonk and going to EXTREME lengths to protect their intellectual property. Anyone remember fiasco that Sony created with its rootkit. The only remedy for that was to do an f-disk. This was another case of changes being made to a customer's computer without the customer's knowledge.

I just did a Google search of Maple Story problems and got a total of 5,380,000 links. When I first started posting about the Sony rootkit problems, and I did a Google search on Sony Rootkit Problems, I got 4 million plus links. Getting these links in a search is indicative that there are real problems here, which are being widely reported. It also sounds like there are multiple problems, so there is not a single fix. I wonder where the MS vendor is in all of this. On the Google first page, I did not see any link to the MapleStory vendor. However, it seems that MS is having lots of problems, including problems with hackers... (from Google search)
"MapleStory for PC Reviews - PC MapleStory ReviewsFor quite some time Maple Story has had problems with hackers. Generally vacuum hacks will suck all the monsters to a certain location where the abuser can ... "
Below is the Google search URL.

Here is one of the things that I found pertaining to the current Maple Story update at this website http://www.onrpg.com/ftopic19258.htm...e1acc85e26d17d .
"If you are able to play MS from the few patches be4 and only unable to play it after the release of 0.24 onwards continue reading below...
"Update your graphic card driver to the latest one as stated in maple global faq section and make sure its version is actually the updated one... it seems the new patches made changes with the graphic of the game and it requires u to update ur driver to the most current one....

"Go here for downloading the most updated driver and update DirectX to version 9.0c. This installation makes full use of the capabilities in 9.0c so dun waste it...

"Phew, so long juz to find this damn solution, now i shall maple maple maple to my heart's content~~~ "

ok, some good news =D
gameguard released another patch within the last 24 hours, and luckily, my zonealarm pro firewall detected that "Automatic LiveUpdate Module is trying to remove a driver or service: DMP_WMIMMC\ENVM".
*Automatic LiveUpdate Module is a part of Norton AntiVirus
So I happily clicked deny, and it seems to be working fine! I haven't experienced any problems yet for 2 hours of playing MapleStory, so I hope this post helps =)
here's a screenshot of the ZoneAlarm Log file that shows NortonAntivirus's Automatic LiveUpdate attempting to delete DUMP_WMIMMC
That's a good bit of detective work there binaryxtasy :)
And yet again the pestilential Norton rears its ugly head :mad: They should rename it Norton Virus :rolleyes:
Hey Everyone,
I know exactly what you are talking about. I frequently have the same error message as you. And i also play maplestory. i have searched my computer for this error message but couldnt find it. the way i found this site was searching up "dump_wmimmc.sys". i live in the new york so i have an english computer. if i ever have a chance to take a picture of this message i can and will post it as soon as possible. another thing is, is there anything you can recommend for me or a way you can guide me through this process to cure the problem? i thank you a lot and i hope this error can be solved immediately.
p.s i also have zone alarm. but i have never seen how or if my zone alarm has deleted that file. please help
Hi, I'm new here.
I also encountered this problem several times quite frequently. This is almost guaranteed to happen in a few minutes after I played and closed MS (haven't seen it happen WHILE playing MS). It does NOT happen if I do not open MS. This problem occurs ever since the last last update of Game Guard. I've just recently had an update, but that did NOT help; the problem still exists. I've had Norton 2004 pro for about a year, and never encounted this problem. I've had MS for quite a few months, but this never happened before I got this update not too long ago. I have taken the picture of this error screen...it's in English... Click Here
Well I updated my display driver and game guard was updated and so far there have been no BSOD.
However it seems that the Norton Protected status error is back, if it ever really went away.
Generally it seems I can avoid that error if I quickly purge my protected files right after closing Maple Story. But this time it looks like I was too late.
I have Norton System Works 2005. My Nephew has 2006 and it never had any of these problems. I'd bet it just has these problems with 2005. =(
