Hello!

For some strange reason, all Delphi applications crash on my system. First, I thought it would only be a problem with the freedb database converter, but now I noticed that the same error occurs when starting Burrrn. I also tried debugging the applications, but the Microsoft Disassembler stops at "int 3" and then hangs (I can only exit by killing the process).

Any ideas?

PS: The applications crash right at start up with an exception error at a memory address which could not be read.

By the way... Isn't "int 3" a STOP command which breaks into the debugger?

Are you sure it's all delphi apps?
BTW what cpu have you got

OT: It seems that the upgrade from 1.3 to 2.0 cancelled my subscriptions.



Anyways... Burrrn, MAC, Mr. QuestionMan and the freedb converter (all are Delphi applications) won't work. They all crash with the same error.



I have a Pentium 4. However, the applications used to run a couple of weeks ago.

These are the error messages all tested programs throw out:

The 216 error happens because the program tries to access an in memory structure that simply does not exist.

Reasons may vary, it can be a legitimate error in the program or a corrupt dll in your system, a memory manager that is incompatible, an OS in debug mode etch etch.

Try running a Delphi app in safe mode and try more Delphi apps. It is definitely something in your system that is causing this, could be an incompatible development environment that you installed.
