Sh4.exe application error 0x0036a7a9 memory could not be reached at 0x00000 etc. screen goes black - asks me to press cancel to debug but nothing happens then - back to main screen of windows 93.
Please help ... mourning .. need to go for a dive!!

What are your specs? SH4 isn't happy with many laptop systems. If you have a good specs could be you need to reduce the maximum amount of memory that Vcache uses or allocate more memory...ect.

Did you do a search for that error?

WTF is windows 93?

EDIT: Looked at the laptop in questions specs. I put the problem on the video card.

we need your full specs to help you

there are many versions of the Toshiba sat pro so we cant help you without knowing more

the most important details we need are cpu, ram size, and video card

is it possible that your savegames where made on another version of sh4 than you use right now? Perhaps using some mods you dont have installed now?

just an idea ...

cheers

After looking into wth windows 93 is (its real name is Windows NT 3.1) I would say the problem lies with the OS as it is not supported for SH4. The only other thing that looked in question was the video card, but I suspect the OS is the culprit here.

he said he just got the computer so im thinking it was new but maybe its not?

if it is new then it must have come with vista or at the least xp on it

you can get windows 98 for $1 at yard sales so why hes using 93 is not logical unless this computer is 10 years old and cant handle anything else.

as i said before: we need your full specs to help you

Yep, it was Vista, but obvious a work PC as he told me they installed
Windows NT 3 to run with his office network.

Without readind any posts but first. It's your laptop.

I am posting on same kind as yours I got for free.

I even upgraded to 2gb of ram.

This is all it's good for and checking email.

Won't even play SH3 vanilla good.

It is in no way a gameing computer.

Derek, that computer just doesn't have the horsepower to run SH4 either by the amount of memory or the graphics card.

It won't run SH3 either; perhaps SH2 might work.

Ouch! That really stinks... Sorry that wasn't the news you were looking for.
