I have started work on a program, that was working fine, and after adding two lines and compiling again, it gives me some weird error messages and won't run.

The two lines I added are:

As you can see, this is very simple code and shouldn't stop the program from running properly.

The error message I got first after it had finished compiling but before running the game was:
Quote: "The application or DLL
C:\DOCUME~1\DAVID~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\dbpdata6\DBProVectorsDebug.dll is not a valid
Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."

This is very strange as I am not using any vectors in my program. I also got previous error messages in folders dbpdata4 and dbpdata5, with the dll's convmdl.dll and convx.dll.

After clicking OK on the previous error message, I got the following error message:
Quote: "The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read"."


This also seems to have affected some of my other programs, but not all of them. After these messages have been shown, it goes back to the IDE, and if I try to compile and run again it compiles and returns to the IDE straight away.

Could anyone help? This is really annoying as I can't do any programming until this is fixed.

Thanks, David

Sounds like you've got files corrupt - might be worth doing a scandisk/chkdsk and the defragment. Also, it might be worth re-installing DBPro

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

sounds like a virus to me (which would explain the corruption)
either that or bad booting down, you wouldn't believe how many people just press power off rather than shutting the computer down, then wonder why everything breaks so quickly.

i'd check for any virus's on your computer then run scandisk followed by defragger (although if you can get ahold of an earlier disk defragger i'd strongly suggest it as the XP one is pretty useless)

you might want to reinstall the patch too

Well, I defraged my hard drive and it seems to work fine now. However, I do think I may have a virus, as Internet Explorer has been acting strangely as well.

@yusuke200013 - I have been downloading a few things from kazaa (using kazaa lite though), so I may have that virus. I scanned my pc using AVG Antivirus and it said my pc was fine. Do you know anything about the virus and how to get rid of it?

Thanks, David
