Hi All,
We are currently having some serious problems with pd/gem running on windows 98. This seems to apply to all of the available versions of both distributions (old and new) and on a variety of computer set-ups. There are two different problems, each resulting in the same error message (below). Firstly when a patch is loaded, it is not possible to open a sub patch without crashing pd. I noticed that this has been announced on the list several times but without a definitive solution. Secondly a patch can crash whilst rendering gem graphics, even though there is no specific event in terms of memory or processor usage at the time of the crash. The crashes produce the following message:
PD caused an exception 10H in module PD.DLL at 0167:100357fd. Registers: EAX=0097c948 CS=0167 EIP=100357fd EFLGS=00010206 EBX=00000040 SS=016f ESP=0063fda0 EBP=0063fde4 ECX=0098b208 DS=016f ESI=00000006 FS=2ca7 EDX=0097c948 ES=016f EDI=0098b0d8 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: d8 02 83 c0 04 83 c1 04 83 c2 04 4e d9 58 fc 75 Stack dump: 00001388 0097c820 00000001 10033252 0098b0d8 1002f8ff 00000000 81921e5c 00530000 1006fc68 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 41b83a80
If anyone has any ideas or feels that they could help given a more detailed machine specification your assistance would be most appreciated.
Regards

hi
which versions of both pd and gem are you using ? you are right, that the first problem (crashing when opening subpatches) occured with releases of GemPlus (which is obsolete now, in case someone has not noticed yet) and i never really understood where/why it crashed
it never occured to me on Mark's precompiled versions (gem<=0.85) but the problem seemed to be gone with gem-0.87 and pd-0.35test4 (or something, i hope this reflects my setting at home)

Hi IOhannes,
We are running pd0.34-4 and pd0.35 test 19 with gem0.85. This problem seems to be operating system specific as we have just moved to windows xp and everything seems fine. I suppose that this is probably going to be the best solution to the problem.
Thanks for your help

fine, if it works. i still believe/hope that the gem-0.87 will not crash on pd-0.35 on win98 (i know this, since 98 is the win-sys i am working at home with)
i wouldn't recommend XP, since there seem to be lot of driver problems (especially if you want to use hw-openGL, and youdo want to do this when working with Gem)
