Nyarlathotep Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Did he also delete the Generals folder in My Documents ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigel6669 Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 No he used the regular uninstall option.He kept the my documents folder of generals as it contains maps and statsIs that the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Try getting the registry mechanic (www.download.com) and cleaning through the registry. That should clear up conflicts and so forth and probably will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Is that the problem?Could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigel6669 Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 Thanks Nyar for your advise, renaming the my doc folder of generals resolved the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Does any1 know what generals or zh file ( in the my documents folder )is recording the buddy list and rank?Isn't the buddy list and rank stored on online servers? If you add buddies to your list, then uninstall Generals/Zero Hour, after you re-install Generals/Zero Hour your buddy list and rank should still be the same, not reset or altered in any way.Skirmish stats (solo player honours/medals achieved, win streak information, etc) are stored in a file on your hard drive however.

rigel6669 Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 Generals and zerohour have been succesfully reinstalled but my buddy still can't run the zerohour worldbuilder program.After the object properties box has appeared the following errors came:- Runtime error, abnormal program termination- Application error, the instruction at "0x21110f86" referenced memoryat "0x0c7f7260". The memory could not be read.- Error signature ( screenshot )How can this problem be fixed? [attachment archived by Gobalopper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Some things that might be worth trying:- Re-install (painful, but a new fresh re-install could solve the problem)- Update DirectX.- Update Windows via Windows Update (might be missing some .dll files/runtime libraries, etc etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigel6669 Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 Generals and zerohour have been succesfully reinstalled and he already updated to directx v9b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I've got the same problem with WB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Generals and zerohour have been succesfully reinstalled and he already updated to directx v9bI read that Generals and Zero Hour have already been installed... I meant perhaps he should try re-installing again. ::)Otherwise if all else fails, take a look at this thread. The problem looks similar, although not the same, you might want to bump up that thread and ask for help there.Perhaps some runtime files (.dlls) that Worldbuilder requires for normal operation are missing, which may explain the 'runtime error'.

Pethegreat Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Ok I'm bumping this tread Becasue i got the smae thing again but it happened diffreantly.

Nyarlathotep Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Are your drivers up to date ?As far as Nvidia and ATi cards go, you may want to try the video card drivers fromwww.omegacorner.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigel6669 Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 The reason for the bad graphics might be his upgrade to directx v9 without having a video card that fully supports it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Makes sense. Does anyone know why WorldBuilder is so unstable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pethegreat Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I know the map maker requoers alot of ram. I know Riggel6669 has to resart his comp to clear his ram before running world builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
