0019:041A 0019:041A general protection fault on CIVNET, was wondering has a clue?

Issue Resolved: Read last post for info


Hello guys, im very new here but i have a quick question.. i've been playing Civnet for a very long time and had to reformat my computer recently and i've since lost the cd.

upon reformatting, i had to download the game, and it no longer works for me, it is still on the same computer with the same OS. i had XP pro before the format and i have it now. so i cannot figure out if it is due to the reformat or just that the shareware (abandonware) civnet that is floating around is corrupt. i was wondering if anyone knew what the 0019:041A fault was, i did a google search and the ONLY thing that came up related to civnet was a post in 2004, on this very thread. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=2175511&postcount=18

unfortinatly, the poster's question was never answered, and even though he had a much older operating system, it was the same exact registry. i was just wondering if anyone had a clue about this. help would be MUCH apprecaited.

(P.s.: i see that alot of people on this forum are trying to get a working multiplayer medium. a program that i have used for some time -Hamachi- has served me well in the past. its is a VPN program. which allows you to play via LAN on civnet as opposed to playing direct IP (this also allows multiple players to play in a game, which i would be more than willing to set up! )

I'll issue an unhelpful, "Did you try futzing around with Windows' compatibility options?"

 

[samzonx]

indeed, i did. i tried 95,98,2000 all of them, i tried the standard text issue fix and i also tried messing around with the colors. but none of them even remotely helped. thank you for the response though

I'm also assuming you've already tracked down any applicable patches to CivNET.

... 0019:041A fault ...

I don’t run CIVnet very often but when I saw your post I wanted to see if my install worked. I have it on a disk other than C: and It was not installed on the operating system* that I am currently running. I clicked on it F:\mps\civnet\civnet.exe

When CIVnet ran I first got
File Error
Cannot find WING.DLL

I click Close and then I got
Application Error
CIVNET caused a General Protection Fault in module CIVNET.EXE at 0018:041A.

You didn’t say if your error contained a reference to WING.DLL.

WING.DLL is a file
FileDescription WinG High-Performance Graphics Library
FileVersion WinG Version 1.0
InternalName WinG.DLL
LegalCopyright Copyright © Microsoft Corp. 1993-1994

Somewhere in my pile of junk I have my cd of CIVnet (I sure it will turn up shortly). I was hoping to get it and install it on my current running system to see if WING.DLL is part of the CivNet install. WING.DLL is not on my C: drive. Searching for WING.DLL I found it on the old system* on F: so I copied it to F:\mps\civnet\ and doubled on civnet.exe. CivNet started up.

This may have nothing to do with your problem as you only mention the general protection fault.

no i saw no reference to wing.dll

i had problems with that in the past but now that you mention it i probally AM missing some of the necisarry DLLS, anyone know where i can get em? (i DO have wing.dll though.
and whelk, yes i tried the only patch i could find, but no avail.

btw, ironically enough i tried reopening the prog today and i got 0018 instead, same error as you did im thinking that its my wing.dll is not the right file, prehaps?

YES! THANK YOU@!@!@!@

i found the issue! i had a different WING.dll than the one installed, i had an older one previously and the installation did not overwrite it - for others with this, DELETE OR MOVE YOUR CURRENT C:/Windows/WING.DLL and REINSTALL! thank you so much =)
