kernel.dll

[derek_7]

Everytime I try to run a video game(Everquest) or DXDIAG I recieve a page fault module for kernel.dll. After I get this illegal operation it messes up my ddraw.dll and I have to reinstal directx 8.1 to get it to work again.

Hopefully this is the right forum for this...I check Microsoft.com and couldn't find anything that would help.

Hi there...

Have you recently installed or downloaded something?
The error typically says "thisfile" has caused a .....
What is the exact message?
First guess is that "thisfile" could be corrupt and you'll
have to replace it...
Also, what OS are you using? 8.1 doesn't play well with 95.

well;

you should use start/run/ type sfc then enter
if you re using W9x/me

else tr yto update or downdate your video driver.
i will give you something to uninstall directx next time.

I just downloaded patches for the game and directx 8.1 and my new video card driver.

I am using win98se.

I get three errors, EQGAME for everquest, DXDIAG when I open dxdiag and EXPLORER when I am surfing. The message I get is..

EQGAME caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 017f:bff9dfff.

I used sfc and didnt show any files to be corrupt.

Hmmmm...
Make sure you have the latest (read:compatible with DirectX 8.1)
driver for your sound card as well. If that doesn't work,
you're in exotic territory (DMA conflicts, etc...)and
your best bet would be to try EQ support.

You're better off starting your own thread by clicking NEW MESSAGE. Often, people are disinclined to reply to people 'hitching' on to an existing thread since they know you won't be able to assign points to their answers. Points are the currency of these forums.
