Hi Don,

I don't suppose you jotted any of those error messages down did you, or recall what any of them said?

Nope. Sorry, I was so disappointed I just reloaded the older version after the updated version crashed about 6 times, [g].

First of all...I like ver 7:)

Since it is a beta I have made some heavy (no...not that heavy) testing on it.

I deal some cards, then collect them....then change deck....I then often get Windows error message where it ask to send error report to Bill.......not sure it is your fault.....think Bill have more reason for that:)

Just tried it for 20 minutes.....so....if I find anything else I will keep you posted:)

Good work...you are the best:)

BTW.. I have windows xp home ed..sp 2..1gb mem.

Tried to copy the error message...but can't do that....do you want me to write it down...when I get them them....or is it enough to tell what I have done:)

Hi Rhutobello,

I just replied to a post by Barbara that was similar to yours, asking for a bit of help with these unhandled errors. Basically if you can recognise any sort of pattern, or any repeatable way of creating the error, then that would be a great help. As you can guess, I don't get this happening on my machine where I have the chance to debug the code - murphy's law.

Sometimes the program manages to create output about an error in a file called error.txt in the program directory. If you see such a file, and the last-modified date matches when the unhandled error occured, it would be very helpful to see that too. It might be an error that I can locate which happened just before the unhandled one and in fact caused it to happen. (It would mean more to me than it would to Bill anyway!).

Cheers

Restarted PC

Starting allways with : Timless Truth

on second deck Adflatus i got error message

Started program agein...this time it jumped nice between Timeless and Adf..

On my fourth deck Catas de los Gatos....it choose the deck alright....i put out some card..then it got to error.
This I tried several times....with error each time....shall restart my PC so it become clean and try agein.

[Rhutobello]

Suprise....me agein:)

Restarded PC.....first deck TT...error message on gatering card.

Tried 5 times with Catas....all 5 times error mesages....but on diffrent stages...cand deal out card..error.on collecting....or error when the deck shuffle.

What I have noticed is that I have had up to 3 ikons in the low left display window..(the one that show running programs)..so it seems something is starting that produce an ikon.

okay...last report on this:)

I will try to post error report here....just delete if I manage:)

[Rhutobello]

Okay.....maybe it is something else then the card shape:)
took 15 deals on Time of Truth....10 times no card out just shuffle....all nice and clean.
Then 5 times deal out card..(6 cards in my case)..collect....it collects nice..then it start the shuffle comand (this lay in the program)and you can notice a little hang then you recive the error, I got it all 5 times....but many times the PC have to be restarted to confirm the constant....haven't done that:)
So maybe the fault isen't from a deck....which can be true, because sometimes error deck's work nice whitout any problems:)

Hi Rhutobello,

Thanks for all this feedback. I just got back to my computer and I thought there must be a party or something happening in the OTZ with all these emails!

I am going to be away from my machine now until Sunday, but I will take a good look at it all then and see if I can replicate any of these things.

Also, you can send that error report to answers@orphalese.net - that would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
Richard
