Hi,

just purchased VA5000 to replace my completely fried A440/1. Unfortunately when I start it up, it crashes.

My relevant hardware configuration is:-
Compaq P3-933 / 512Mb RAM / Matrox G400 32MB dual head

Software configuration is:-
Windows XP Pro SP1a + All windows update patches + DirectX 9.0B running at 1152x864x32.

Immediately crashes with the following XML crashdump... might help - not sure as I don't develop on windows :p

Code:

Unfortunately that doesn't really tell us a great deal.

A couple of things to try to help determine the problem:

Temporarily rename the Plugins folder to PluginsSafe and see if the emulator starts.

Edit the VA.cfg file (it's text) and change the FullScreenStartup setting to 0 (so it starts in a window)

it starts up fine if you do that.

Works fine again if you rename the plugins directory.

Doesnt like starting in full screen mode for some reason. Probably this compaq crap.

Cheers for the help!
