TIR Problem

Post by Grecian » Mon May 23, 2005 9:40 pm

Been happily using my TIR for some time, launched today and got this:-

NATURALPOINT caused an invalid page fault in
module MFC70.DLL at 0177:7c14a0db.
Registers:
EAX=7c14a0d7 CS=0177 EIP=7c14a0db EFLGS=00210212
EBX=00000000 SS=017f ESP=0218fbec EBP=0218fc00
ECX=007b37e0 DS=017f ESI=007b37e0 FS=188f
EDX=8204e4ec ES=017f EDI=7c001156 GS=7b0e
Bytes at CS:EIP:

Stack dump:
0043d188 007b37e0 0218fc18 7c1f5ef8 ffffffff 0218fc24 7c14a0b5 7c15fc9e 7c160607 0043d188 0043d188 0218fc3c 7c1fa4c0 00000000 0218fc48 7c16f1cf

Un-Installed and Re-Installed Software but same!

Any suggestions?

Has there been any change to this file?

Here´s a link that can give you more information about this file:
http://www.auditmypc.com/process/mfc70.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here you can download the file just in case you want to replace your copy:

Anyone any other ideas? :-k

Unless I have been misinformed...

...an "Invalid Page Fault" refers to the program attempting to access a "page" or memory address currently already in use.

The cause could be another prog running in the background, either user initiated or virus/trojan horse, or the TIR files/registry entry may be corrupt.

When you re-installed, did you clean out your registry entries (W98SE) after removing the program? I've made that a habit and it has helped to some extent.

Go to the natural point forums and repost. The developers do look in on there and they will probably be very quick coming forward.

Tried replacing the suspect file Gen, no joy :(

Have run allsorts of Virus, Bot checkers Helo nothing suspect found :( can't find any leftovers in th Registery either :(

Already did that Gurb had one reply but no joy yet :(

Will get my main PC back soon hopefully, so may just wait it out, I can only fly off-line on this machine anyway.

Thanks for ideas guys S!

OK, just wondering - were you getting the odd and unexpected reboot once in the while? If so it could be a failing stick of RAM. Do a test on them unless you already did this mate.

I did notice the newer TIR software adds a whole new key in the Registry. But you said you checked this.

Ok, sorted :) , not sure what I did :?

I was trying out some new anti-virus software, which i since un-installed, and re-installed TrackIR ok after this, could this have caused my problem :?:

...antivirus software was running in the background it could well have been the problem. since TIR runs ok with the AV software out of the way, I'd say tha's a pretty good indication.
However, you may have only neede to disable it, instead of uninstall it.
It is not necessary to have the AV ware running while gaming online.

Disagree - I see no valid reason (other than for specific testing scenarios) to disable either firewall or AV for online gaming.

I would not attempt to connect without both enabled
