Running an IRCd on Win98SE is a VERY bad idea by the way....

Unfortunately, I don't have such a machine to test on. And it works fine in 98 (first edition), ME, 2000, and XP. So I don't know what I can really do about it...

I'll try get w98se set up over the next week or so, and see if i have the same problems. I have MS intellipoint, so we shall see :P

Yeah, what I really need is Unreal's debug output (the .core file) not Dr. Watson. Our output will tell me the exact line of code it crashed on.

Hum.

Raven, can you give us some more specs on your machine? Is it an oldie? or fairly new. I installed on my pmmx 200mhz machine, and nothing happened.

If need be, I'll install on my 1000mhz pIII (win98 on that... shudder...)

That's pretty much it, when I'm not sitting on the machine. If I am, add the latest Miranda nightly + Winamp 2.76 + Shoutcast DSP + Shoutcast server app + latest Semagic soft (LJ client soft) + Conquercam soft + latest mIRC + one or the other game. Tested with [lots of apps], with [standard apps], and with [explorer+systray only] states. Machine runs 24/7 with a reboot every 4th day or so, latest windows installation was November 18, 2003. Crash hapens in any state with and without mentioned programs running.

Anything else? :/
Some registry tweaks for better RAM and Explorer utilization, but that should do nothing wrong..

Ok, I really have no idea. Can you try removing any task not windows related and seeing if taht helps?

And perhaps a fresh install of w98 (on its own!) and see if the crash still happens.

 done the first already (mentioned), the second is uh.. not that easily done, I'd say. I'll try failsafe mode running only explorer+systray+wircd without services, just a sec - ok failsafe isn't able to run wircd, so I'm out of ideas now, sry.

I'll set up & test on one of my older machines, likely a PIII, in a few days.

Uhm, if i remember correctly, WIN98 have memory management problems when used with 512mb ram or more?

Raven00013

reporter   ~0006297

correct, if i would use more than 512 it would have problems, thats why I allow only 511 to be used..

The thing that bewilders me here is as to why the core files would be empty o_O
I'm no expert on Unreal, indeed, C in general but to me that implies that it didnt even hit Unreal's error functions??

Something interacted to crash it?
Dr Watson screwed it around??

/me is at sea.

It's cause Win9x sucks. It has a tendency to screw up the core files.

no mousewheel on that machine, so no problems with it now..

This won't be fixed.

W98 is now an unsupported OS.
