I'm having trouble installing PowerHome on an old 486SX/50. I successfully installed it on a Pentium class machine, but I've dedicated the 486 for home automation tasks and would like to run the software from there.

Actually, the install process seems to work fine, but when I try to launch the application, I get the following error when the PowerHome splash screen displays "Checking CIR32 version...":

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

Details:

PWRHOME caused an invalid page fault in
module PBVM60.DLL at 0137:10b9578f.
Registers:
EAX=00000000 CS=0137 EIP=10b9578f EFLGS=00010283

ECX=00000008 DS=013f ESI=01bd0cc0 FS=1927
EDX=01bc3d00 ES=013f EDI=02ae1000 GS=0000
Bytes at CS:EIP:

Stack dump:

Any thoughts?

Mike

Mike,

The only thing that comes to mind is the fact that you're running an SX. The CIR32.DLL is a combination of C and assembly language compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. I'll have to check my compile options and see if anything is restricting the use of an SX machine. The spot where it is failing at is merely a version check of the DLL and shouldnt cause problems. Thats why I suspect a compilation restriction.

Im currently out of town for the holidays so will check on this as soon as I get back.

Dave.

This may be helpful

Description:
Description: Getting a reference memory exception on nt 4.0
and PB60 caused an invalid page fault in module Pbdwe60.dll at
0137:11587588 on win95 when the following line is executed in PB:

dw_1.modify("Datawindow.crosstab.rows="' + ls_setting + '"")

The ls_setting is populated from:
dw_1.describe("Datawindow.Crosstab.rows")

The crosstab dw is defined with a symbolic notation at the end of the row.

Workaround:
In the dw painter, if you uncheck the "Rebuild columns at runtime", previewed the dw and
rechecked the option, app worked ok. This works unless you plan to use the column tag
property. If you do, the gpf or reference memory exception still happens.

And I was confused before wethotblonde69 decided to help. Now I'm really lost!

Dave, thanks for looking into it. Don't rush for me. Enjoy your holiday.

Programming speak for "There's a bug in the compiler"
