SOftwarte crashes !

[dizzynoodle]

All of a sudden... now my Premiere, After Effects, Ulead Photo Explorer, ACDSee and probably few more crash when i start them and shut themslves down ?

All i have done lately is removed phantomes of a few devices...

What's happening ?

[dizzynoodle]

Well apart from reviving the issue, i have tried to uninstall and re-install ACDSee + + +etc did not help, so i re-installed Win2k ontop of the old installation, again did not help either, i am bout to install the SPs 1+2 again to see if that will help, evn though i don't think so... i'm just dreading having to clean install win2k again... setting all the hardware was abit of a pain !

here's the irq list ++

[Maggi]

looks like there's no IRQ assigned to your Marvel ...

[dizzynoodle]

that's right ! I just noticed that ! It had IRQ 9 hogged for a while,,, you think that could be the problem ?

[Maggi]

nope ... I know it is a problem ...

[dizzynoodle]

I'm running on the leaked set of drivers, should i just re-install the drivers without un-installing the drivers or the VTools ?

[Maggi]

dunno, but you should assign an IRQ to your Marvel

[dizzynoodle]

thank you.. i'll try to install the drivers... if it don't work, i'll remove the device from Dmanager ! Hope this solves the problem

[dizzynoodle]

well now i have an IRQ 9 assigned to Marvel... ACDSee now crashes as soon as it starts

Now what ?

N.B. I had it unstalled... i re-insatlled it after i fixed the IRQ problem

[dizzynoodle]

Could the VT be the culprit ? would it make sense ? Things seemed kind of alright after i uninstalled VT [ from the leaked set of drivers ] but things got a bit quirky after i re-installed it... could not quite detirmine if it is the main cause... watcha guys think ?

COuld the fact that i am OC'ing be the cause.... ? I'm running a P2b MOBO with a PIII 800/133 @ 133Mhz bus speed ? Could that be the cause ?

[EchoWars]

Should be no problem to back the FSB down to 100MHz and see...

[Maggi]

depending on the revision of your MoBo, that 133MHz FSB setting might be only 110MHz ... what is your actual CPU clock readout ?

And yes, afaik there are only a few P2B boards that offer the proper dividers for running at 133MHz FSB while keeping your AGP and PCI bus in spec.

Like EchoWars already said, try at 100MHz FSB and tell us what gives.

Also it might be wise to use Matrox' uninstaller and switch back to official drivers.
