To all: apologies for this somewhat off-topic thread.
Hi Andy,
This is definitely not a fault of your dir but some problem on my system, I
shall try here to fully describe the problem and some of the steps I've
taken.
The Error: 'Visual C++ Libraries - Runtime Error - abnormal program
termination'
This occurs when opening some .dir files
(including for example files in the Learning/Lingo Examples/
folder "Parent Scripts.dir" and "text.dir") and also within the program when
embedding fonts. (I also often get the same error with some shockwave
sites). It occurs both on my
machine at home PentiumII/Win98/128RAM and at work Athlon/WinME/256RAM
I have had contact with MM support (polite, forthcoming but ultimately
couldn't do anything for me). They say that it is a completely unique error
and must be related to the system. I have read a number of articles on M$'s
site about the error but they all
relate to other software. I have written to them for advice.
I use Director 8.0 at work on WinME with a
licensed version which I also installed at home on Win98. The error
occurence is very specific and identical on both machines.
Steps I have taken on advice received through Direct-L mailing list:
1) Deleted all fonts from both systems except those which refuse to be
deleted.
2)Experimented with msvcrt.dll, msvcrt10.dll, msvcrt20.dll
3)Using Ctrl/Alt/Del I've ended all running tasks except for Director and
Explorer and
tested.
To no avail.
I would be grateful to any advice forthcoming.
With sincere regards, Darryl
