Frequently Asked Questions

What if Windows crashes?

What if my system crashes and I have to reinstall my Windows operating system?

When you re-install your operating system you must use the same version and Key which you used originally.

PyRun_SimpleFile() crashes on Windows but not on Unix; why?

Python Windows FAQ
This is very sensitive to the compiler vendor, version and (perhaps) even options. If the FILE* structure in your embedding program isn't the same as is assumed by the Python interpreter it won't work. The Python 1.5.* DLLs (python15.dll) are all compiled with MS VC++ 5.0 and with multithreading-DLL options (/MD). If you can't change compilers or flags, try using Py_RunSimpleString().

What can be done about System Crashes?

What sorts of technical problems should I expect?
Ideally, there should be someone around 24 hours a day to make sure the system is put back up when it dies. A reasonable compromise for companies that aren't large enough to do this is to be sure someone's on the system during peak usage hours, to make sure the system is reset when it goes down.

What if everything crashes?

Index Marketing Group | F.A.Q.
Indexed annuities do carry a guaranteed minimum return, but only if you keep the policy until its maturity date. The guaranteed return is usually 3%, but that may not be 3% of what you paid into the policy in the first place. Some companies guarantee you'll get at least 3% of 90% of what you spent. Also make sure you check on how that minimum return is computed. If, for example, you get at least 3% compounded annually, that works out to a little more than a 10% gain after seven years.

What about computer crashes?

Tripaddiction
To ensure that the site performs well, we've designed Tripaddiction.com with very few bells and whistles. The same can't be said for the web sites of some of our recommended hotels. To reduce the risk of "crashing," limit the number of foreign web sites you visit per session. Quit and restart frequently. And if a site is taking too long to load, hit "stop" on your browser menu bar and try again later.

I've compiled a program under Windows and it crashes: why?

OpenSSL: Support, Frequently Asked Questions
This is usually because you've missed the comment in INSTALL.W32. Your application must link against the same version of the Win32 C-Runtime against which your openssl libraries were linked. The default version for OpenSSL is /MD - "Multithreaded DLL". If you are using Microsoft Visual C++'s IDE (Visual Studio), in many cases, your new project most likely defaulted to "Debug Singlethreaded" - /ML.

Chromium crashes if I try to run it on Windows NT. Why?

chromium B.S.U. ] - F.A.Q.
The Windows OpenAL implementation still needs a lot of work. At the current time, Windows NT is not well (if at all) supported by OpenAL, although Windows 95, 98 and 2000 seem to work OK. You can play Chromium on NT with sound disabled by using the '-na' command line option. (edit the START.BAT file, and add -na after chromium)

I use Windows 98/ME and GIMP crashes on startup. What can I do?

Whenever I open a window on a window the program crashes. What's happening?

Technical Support
RaneWare is a 16-bit program written to run on Windows 95, 98SE and earlier OS's like Windows 3.1, though in some instances will not work on Windows NT, and most instances 2000, ME and XP are inconsistent. The crashing is caused by the WOW32.DLL in later OS versions not being compatible with RaneWare and other file issues. Officially we support only the Windows 98SE and earlier operating systems. The only solution is to run the earlier version: Windows 95 or 98SE.

Which crashes and failures will not take the driver out?

It's possible to hit something without causing noticeable damage, assuming you don't clout it really hard. Doing this, however, will increase the probability that another relatively light hit will cause damage. Some damage is terminal; you can rip a wheel off, or blow the engine.

Does DieHard prevent all crashes? If not, what does it prevent?

Emery Berger - DieHard FAQs
No, although that would be nice. DieHard completely prevents particular memory management errors from having any effect (these are "double frees" and "invalid frees"). It dramatically reduces the likelihood of another kind of error known as "dangling pointer" errors, and lowers the odds that moderate buffer overflows will have any effect. It prevents certain library-based heap overflows (e.g., through strcpy), and all but eliminates another problem known as "heap corruption."
