Debugger memory-window crash solved
Hi Folks,
Awhile ago I posted a message about a VC++ IDE de{*filter*} crash.
It would completely freeze up Win95 everytime I tried to open
the memory window.
It turned out the problem had something to do with my video driver.
I have a Trident Providia 9685. There are four levels of graphics
hardware acceleration under Win95. I experience this crash if I try
to use the upper two settings. (Access the setting thru the Win95
Display Properties dialog, Settings tab, Advanced Properties button,
Advanced Display Properties Dialog, Performance tab.)
It took me a long time to figure out that this was the cause, so I
thought I'd post about it, in case anyone else is suffering like I
was. Oddly, VC++ is the only program that appears to have this
conflict with my video drivers. And even then only when opening or
resizing the memory window. I wonder what that memory window code
is doing?
