Blue Screen of Death

Have a periodic crash to Blue Screen when running Commanders on my Windows XP, 512MB RAM, 3.20 GHz Intel Pentium 4 machine. Message reads: Kernal_Data_Inpage_Error. Stop: 0x0000007A (0xC0300190, 0xC0000185, 0xC0064000, 0x006EF884). Please advise.

just to clarify i think it is not kernal, it maybe kernel that is the central core processor of software, programs, not know what can cause it but sometimes is some failure or incopatibility in the operative system configuration, can however be some problem by the game, just was wanting to clarify that i think you refer to kernel,

best regards,

Appreciate your comments. Not sure where the problem is as well. Thought it might have something to do with the initial "LOW-RAM" settings, but I have two separate versions of Commander running on different drives. One has a LOW_RAM setting of 1, the other has a setting of 2. Both crash to blue screen. :(

Can you tell us when this happens? During your turn, AI turn, Alt Tabbing? etc.

This happens when the game is either loading the first entry screen, or attempting to start once I've selected my opponents.

Single player or multiplayer - if multiplayer what sort of game?

Do you mean the loading screen before the main menu or the loading screen after you select the game settings?

Single player. Sometimes crashes from initial start, when loading the game. Sometimes crashes after the selected Axis or Allies screen attempts to start the game.

Can you send the error file that gets generated in the game dir to info@slitherine.co.uk and we'll check it out.

this could be due to a problem with your page file on your hard disk. I would especially believe this since you are only running with about 512mb RAM. Read this article to perhaps fix your issue.

hope this helps

sorry the previous article only states bad hardware. here is the article that kind of helps you determine the issue through the hex number codes.

Following up to my original post on Blue Screen problems. Hopefully its not too soon to call, but since applying the recent patch, I have not experienced a Blue Screen crash. :D

Additionally, although I'm not sure its related, I was using jack_w's Classic Wargame Map Mod on my un-patched program. Would that have had anything to do with the crashes?

Ahh.. yes, mods are very likely to cause this sort of behaviour ;)
