Hi...
I already went through the majority of postings, but couldn't find a similar problem to mine. So let me give a brief breakdown.
I was playing Wizards and Warriors on Windows 98, but recently converted my system to Windows 2000 Professional. It was a clean install -- I reformatted the entire hard drive and installed Windows 2000.
My system is a Dell 1 GHz with 256 Megabytes RAM and a GeForce 2 video card. The system is pretty new, and there's no shortage of hard drive space (over 30 gigs free presently). I installed Wizards & Warriors (which in itself was somewhat odd -- the start menu shows 'empty' under Activision\Wizards & Warriors) and copied my save games over (the progress I made under Windows 9. I had to manually create a shortcut to the Deep6.exe since it shows as 'empty' on the start menu. Still, the installation had no visible problems (there weren't any errors), so I was surprised to find the 'empty' status.
Nonetheless, I trudged on, and launched the game. Once inside, I loaded up one of my earlier saved games and cruised about a bit. Some spells work fine, others don't -- it's constant, though, not random in which spells crash the game. When the game crashes, I get the following message (Alt-Tabbing out):
======
Application Error: C:\Program Files\Activision\WizardsWarriors\...
The instruction at 0042548d referenced memory at 04551000
The memory could not be read from
Click on OK to terminate the application
======
The error message is always the same, too (the numbers don't change). Now all my other games work fine, and don't give me any problems, so I don't think this is bad RAM. Has anyone experienced this problem, and if so, know how to possibly fix it? Thanks.
