6.54a crash

[Loren Pechtel]

Exception EAccessViolation in module TOTALCMD.EXE at 001A49D4. Access violation at address 005A5C00. Read of address 00000038.

This came when I moved a file from one drive to another--it blew up just after the file was completely moved.

Please turn on hidden/system files in TC, then check if there is a file treeinfo.wc in the root. If yes, zip it, then delete it. If the error is gone, please send me the file by e-mail for checking.

I killed treeinfo.wc when you suggested it as the problem before. It's not been recreated. I always run with hidden/system files on.

Incidently, there's one unusual aspect of the move: The target is in a drive that's mapped into a folder of another drive. This did *NOT* apply to my previous crash problems, though.

I'm having the same crash. Both on my normal pc as on my laptop.

Never had this problem before, and I have used almost all previous versions (starting with windows commander about 10 years ago).

Any idea what might be the cause?

Unfortunately I haven't found any problem so far. Could you send me your wincmd.ini by e-mail, please? You can find my e-mail address here (anti-spam-protected):

Please send it zipped, otherwise it may not go through my spam filter!

Do you remember what version of TC still worked? If you can find this out, I may be able to find the problem via a code comparison.

The last one, which must have been 6.53something (c??)

I have made a code comparison, but couldn't find anything which could cause an access violation. Also the reported address isn't in Total Commander, but in some external dll, plugin, or background tool like a virus scanner.

Therefore I think that the error isn't in TC 6.54a alone, but is caused by some system change since you installed TC 6.54a. Could you try if the error also occurs with TC 6.53 now, please?

[benjenkins]

I now have 6.53 installed. If the problem reoccurs I will let you know.

Thanx!

It's back. 6.54a, I renamed a file onto a different drive. I was going to post the error but the message of 3/24 has exactly the error.

Neither drive has a treeinfo.wc file. (Hidden/system files are turned on, I would see it.)

Please try this: Add the line

AlwaysCopyInBackground=1

to your wincmd.ini under [Configuration] and restart Total Commander. Does the error still occur then?

I can't find any such file. I would have thought it was with the rest of total commander but there's no file by that name. Where is it?

You can see its location in Help - About Total Commander...
It usually is in C:\Windows\

Added. I'll see what happens.
