Ok, of all the previous versions of cxbx that i have had, 0.7.8b is the 1st ive had any problems with. I downloaded 0.7.8b earlier and started it up without any problems, then ran the xray and gamepad demos and they both worked fine. Then i deleted my cxbx version 0.7.7b because i didnt really have any use for it anymore, after i deleted it i went back to 0.7.8b and tried to run the xray demo and as soon as i told it to start emulation cxbx crashed and i got the standard windows program crash alert "cxbx has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for in inconvenience blah blah blah" so i was a tad confused and decided to redownload it...no luck. it still crashes every time i try to run something. could someone please try to help me with this?

i deleted everything on my comp that had anything to do with cxbx so it was like i was just starting out and had never done anything with cxbx before, then i downloaded 0.7.8c and tried to run various demos and didnt have any luck with any of em, i still got the same old error message....i did notice that i didnt have some of the folders i usually have with cxbx, the folders were, and im not sure i remember this right, but i think UDATA and TDATA? again im not sure if those are the folder names or not but thats what i remember, i might just be retarded tho...

*sigh* i have tried just about everything, i deleted all the cxbx files, cleaned the registry, and numerous other things. I have no idea what the problem is...unless someone can help me i guess my cxbx days are over :(
 
First of all I want to congratulate Castik, because f the great work he is doing. I'm astonished with the development of this emu.
Well, I've never had any problem with any version of CXBX, and my comp isn't very good (A 750Mhz Athlon). To solve your problem try reinstalling your vidcard drivers, and then try to configure the video inside the emu. If t doesn't work try putting the exe in Win98 compatibility. If it doesn't work, sorry. I can't help you :(.
Cya later
 
Doesnt seem to make sense to me, if you delete the registry entry, remove the Cxbx.exe/Cxbx.dll/UDATA/TDATA/CxbxCache directorys, then download Cxbx-0.7.8c, you should be totally back to normal.

Are you using 32bit color mode?

What is your exact error message?

yea im totally confused too, but yes i am using 32 bit color and the error message is as follows, "Cxbx.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." its the standard windows program crash message, i looked at the details of the problem but couldnt make heads or tails of it :pCmad:

yea it does seem like more of an xp problem than a cxbx problem, but anyways im having a computer guy come over tomorrow to fix my other comp and ill have him take a look at the one ive got cxbx on to see if he can tell whats up with it

all is well now, i found what the problem was. i went back into the registry just to make sure i deleted the entry and for some reason it was still there...so i deleted it and everything cxbx (again :p) and redownloaded it and everything works fine again :) thanks for the help everyone
P.S.- caustik keep up the rockin work man, you are truely and emulation uber-god
