DDHelp Crash (JVM related)

Miscellaneous Topics
#1

Has anayone had an error like the one below when the JVM exits? My current cure for this is removing JDK 1.4.2 and then re-installing it, but this problem has returned twice now and I don’t like it.

DDHELP caused an invalid page fault in
module at 0000:b00db9f2.

OK, apparently I was wrong, re-installing the JVM didn’t fix it this time. BTW this machine is running windows 98 second edition, all updates are current, radeon 7500 all in wonder video card, and any time I run a java program that has a GUI I get the crash. GUI includes anything from standard AWT to JOGL programs… and now suddenly the crash is not happening, without any new changes (I was testing to see if just creating a frame caused the crash, and now nothing crashes anymore). For the record every time I crashed I would reboot, so I was starting fresh, I would reboot before trying installing or removing anything too because once ddhelp crashes internet explorer and a variety of other things quit working right also.

I had something like that too (ddhelp crashing), but only in some LWJGL programs and not every time. In my case I think it was a videodriver problem.

Thinking back, I suspect maybe the cure for this was a hardboot instead of a softboot (something on my vid card not resetting completely without the hard boot), guess I’ll be on the lookout for this next time I start to suffer from the ddhelp problem.
