Donaldisten -> Periodic startup error (2/21/2008 3:19:54 AM)

Frequently, but constantly, I get this error when trying to start EiA:
“Access violation at address 73B03BA9 in module ‘AVIFIL32.DLL’. Write of address 00000001"
When I click "ok" the game starts, either in part of the screen or being too big for the screen.
After killing EiA and restarting the program run fine.

Jimmer -> RE: Periodic startup error (2/21/2008 5:34:50 PM)

Are  you running from a user account that does not have admin rights?



Donaldisten -> RE: Periodic startup error (2/21/2008 5:57:37 PM)

No I am running on a stand alone XP system.



Jimmer -> RE: Periodic startup error (2/21/2008 7:54:24 PM)

So do I, but I don't grant admin rights to the "typical" users. It would be bad security practice for a security professional to do that. Or, anybody else, for that matter.

I asked because I saw a similar issue, and the problem was that the installation process for the game had not granted "full control" to all users. It accepted the default, which was full control to the current user and administrators (members of the administrators local group on the XP box), so typical (non-admin) users got access control errors at various points.

Sounds like you don't have this problem, so you'll have to wait for one of the Matrix guys to say something. Sorry.

No need to appologise.
Any input is welcome.
Thanks



Donaldisten -> RE: Periodic startup error (3/5/2008 12:15:15 AM)

Still having this problem.
Any reply from Matrix people?



Greg Wilcox -> RE: Periodic startup error (3/5/2008 10:48:16 PM)

Two things...

The first thing I have to ask is what kind of firewall/anti-virus system you have running? (It shouldn't be interfearing but you never know)

The second, could you provide us with a DirectX Diag file?

Thanks and sorry for the delay in responding,


-Greg

Hi Greg,

I am running Norton Internet Security 2007.
DxDiag enclosed.

Thanks for your reply

Anders
