Big problem

Hi all,

I've got this problem and I don't know how to solve it. Maybe you guys can. It only happens when I'm in qualifying in the San Marino Grand Prix. I'm sitting in the car and suddenly (approximately around 53-52 minutes left in qualifying) the screen returns to Windows and displays an error message.

I have no clue whatever it can be. So I opened the logfile made by GPxPatch v3.02 and this is what I read:

Starting log
GPxPatch version: 3.02
GPx version detected: decrypted GP3-2000
Verbosity level is 0
OS version info: Windows Me build 3000

Process tried to read from virtual address 0xffffffff
Unhandled exception

Exception code: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Process tried to read from virtual address 0xffffffff

Does anyone know what I have to do or can anyone tell me what's wrong. I tried installing different Imola track versions, but I got no result. What makes it even stranger is that it only happens on this track in qualifying.

Please help!

Just a stab in the dark but could it be:

Bad sector on your disk - when information is written and/or tries to read from this same space, it brings back this error and crashes.

Could also be linked too not enough memory - resulting in accessing Virtual memory more which in turn accentuates the above issue with reading and writing from potentially bad sectors.

Just thinking outloud....

Speaking of virtual memory, is it configured to a fixed value (which may be set too small) or is it configured to be managed by Windows?

Have you tried it with an earlier version of GPxPatch because the 3.xx versions mainly have features added for GP4. I think GPxPatch v2.21 is the last pre-GP4 version.

can you post this error to the SDI forum, Rene will see it and let you know what is wrong there for sure

I agree with Larry, I had an Identical problem and reverting to the earlier version of GPX fixed it. It's an older post found here:

But I never got any feedback on it.......
