BVE 2.5 and WinXP

asalmon · Post by **asalmon** » Sun Nov 23, 2003 3:41 pm

Is it normal for my pc to reboot when exiting from BVE? I have followed the instructions at http://www.trainsimcentral.co.uk/help.htm and set compatibility to Win98.

Also, I've seen talk of a version 3 - when's that out?

Finally, the picadilly route V3 sound file is being reported as corrupt, I've downloaded it twice, its 1.42MB, yet when unpacking it says "unexpected end of archive"

Re the sounds, the file here must be corrupt, I've found a 6MB version on http://brj.rr.nu/

Also, I was missing the stock, there's another file on http://brj.rr.nu/ that wasn't uploaded here.

It would make things easier if everything was uploaded into one zip file!!

Will take a look at the Picc sound file. I thought that was what the moderator business was for....

I did try uploading the 73TS but it was rejected. I shall try again soon.

V3 of the Northernline should be along soon. It's worth the wait, I can tell you!

Thanks Tom.

I am still having trouble with pic. - after installing all the bits (including the "error 53" fix, I still get an error 53 during loading, then the thing takes 2-3 mins to render (on a P4-2.4ghz that is!!) I then just start pulling out of the station and my PC reboots!!!

I never had this problem with earlier version of BVE and Pic 2 - Don't suppose someone's got a beta 2.9 sitting around I can try please?

Better news, downloaded the DLR preview from your site, and that seems to work fine - one of the installers gives a "can't find /piccadilly" error but that doesn't seem to matter.

Does the Error 53 of the Picc says line 981 not found?
If so, you'll need cone.csv
From BVE 2.4 onwards, it does not need the compatibiltiy to be set to Win98/2000. Only BVE 2.3 and below needs it when running on XP.

Yes, the error is on line 981. Where do I find cone.csv please?

Cone.csv can be found

http://tombeevers2000.free-hosting.org.uk/fixcone.zip

Put it in the base picc object directory

Great, thanks for that.

Doesn't stop it rebooting about 5 yards out of cockfosters though!

Try F4 then click on oakwood.

The same, PC reboots!

Roll on BVE V3!

Incidently, I can start the heathrow activity, it throws up dozens of error 53s but then does start and doesn't crash. (I think that option appeared when I installed the stock!)

Alan, this won't stop BVE crashing but it should stop your PC rebooting (I hope), go to Control Panel > System, click the Advanced tab, click Startup and Recovery settings, and uncheck "Automatically Restart". When an application spits it's dummy out it'll give you an error message instead of just rebooting. Telling you what any error message actually means may be something I can't help with though.

Cheers,
Anthony.

Thanks - the event logs tell me that the pc has rebooted from a bugcheck. 0x1000008e (0x00000005, 0xbfa87b1b, 0xb1ea9a84, 0x00000000) That may mean something to someone.... I expect if I turn off auto-reboot I will get a blue-screen-of-death saying just that- I'll try it.

Yep, here we go. - BSOD - first two parameters the same, then next different.

It does help in that it says the error is in ati3duag.dll - I guess thats my video driver as I have ATI card.

But probably that's no surprise.
