#3ds3 problems
2 messages in this thread
Dear sysop,
I have this continuing problem with 3d Studio. Most times that I render
I get an abnormal program termination page fault cs:
EIP 000fh…… this might happen after an hour or two or
maybe a day or two or a minute or two or not at all. I
tried typing cfig386.exe -lfu -vscan 4000, this made the problem
worse, it crashed much more often. I then took a 3ds.exe from
my other computer and now it doesn't crash as much. This problem
has been happening ever since I started using r3. Also, it would
do this even if I don't page to disk.
My hardward configuration is this:
EISA system 486 66mhz
adaptec 1542c scsi controller
micropolis 1924 drive
maxtor scsi drive
micropolis 2217 av drive
targa 2000 board
telcom pc600 timecode reader
action II media video in/out card
32M Ram
I tried taking the cards out it still crashes.
What do I do???????????
thanks

Sounds like you're having a memory conflict. Try stripping your config.sys to
files=50 buffers=30 (nothing more), and get rid of all unecessary tsr's and
other stuff in autoexec.bat. See if 3DS will run this way – if it does then
you can start adding things one by one, always checking to see if 3ds runs
solidly. When you add the line that crashes 3DS you'll know it, and can start
figuring out what to do. Usually it's a hardware device that is mapping rom
where Pharlap wants to go, and this can be avoided by excluding ALL hardware
rom mapping addresses in your memory manager's device= line (check docs for
exact syntax).
