I apologize up-front if this has been asked before... but can't find an instance of it~and I hope I can explain clearly enough...
I am a developer for Autocad2000 on WinNT4.0 OS with C++.
SO, there I am with no other applications running other than Microsoft Visual C++. I make a random click in the workspace or in the output window or even in the code itself and BANG! I get a "memory cannot be read at...." box. It's a fatal error. And down I go. I can't seem to duplicate it consistantly, except it happens quite frequently when I go to close out of development. (And that sucks because I lose my code so I have to save literally after every line of code that I type!)
Please forgive my ignorance because although the error generates the option to debug the problem, I get assembly code for my trouble. I'm not that talented of a programmer.
I feel that I've been supplied with a crap box at work that can't deal with the memory load - so I tried to:
defrag -> no help
Unload MS C++ and reload/defrag -> no help
close out other programs while developing(like Lotus Notes?)-> no help
URGH!
Anyone else have this problem and how the @#$ did you solve it? Is it my box ya think? I could understand if I was running something and died, but I'm just clicking on a piece of code in the workspace etc..The most disturbing point is the question of: "Could this effect my users?" Should we update the requirements for our application?
Remember - I'm kind of a newbie when it comes to these kind of problems. But if any of you've run across this, I'd truly apreciate some help.
thanks
