[jasmonty2001]

I am playing one of the games in the Settlers4 series,however,I am continually getting Fatal Error coming up.The message I get is:
S4.Main .Exe.Fatal error. 0xc0000005 at 0x00522e8!.Anyone any ideas what the problem is.

Hi !

Plese visit:

http://www.bluebyte.net/settlers4/su...pdates.asp?id=

and try downloading some updates - they might correct the failure...

By the way, don't you know when Settlers V will be available?

Good luck!

Hi Chief,thanx for ur reply,however,I cannot get the web site you posted to open.

Hi Stebel will give the settlers web site a shot,don't know when the settlers 5 will be out if ever.They are talking about another mission cd 2

[STEBEL]

Also , it sounds to me like video problem.

Check what directX version you have and try, before running s4main, starting settlers graphic configuration (video options, resolutions and so on).

Has it happend always or started only few days ago ?

If you are running with an AMD chip, you should also note that there have been quite a number of reports of a faulty L1 cache (the cache on the chip). Go into your computer's BIOS (see your handbook for instructions), and disable the Level 1 cache. If this resolves your problems, consider buying a new CPU.

We noticed that this part is being quoted by several sources on the Internet as "News"; just realize that this is old information, going back around 1 year (beginning of 2000). We are no hardware experts, but we have had reports similar to the post by "HumanHunter" (Mar/07/2001 6:09 PM).


AMD & Temperature

We've received information that running the (older) AMD K6-2 chips over 60ºC (140ºF) will produce a FATAL EXCEPTION OE ...0028:C0005338 IN VXD VMM(01)+00004338 (or similar) errors. So if you are running a K6-2 chip, it's another area to check!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's another short list of things to try:

Check to see if you have the latest drivers installed for your motherboard.
Check to see if you have the latest drivers installed for your video card.
Turn off the external cache in BIOS.
Replace RAM chips.
Reinstall the OS. Do a clean install, by formatting the drive/partition.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A common cause for these error messages is faulty physical memory (RAM) on the computer. It is possible that you have had faulty RAM in your computer, without it affecting you. But because Windows 9x uses your memory in a different way, it is possible that the fault may show up.

For a more extensive explanation, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q138788.
