pb2 beta crashes on win98SE

[solid]

When i start TC7pb2 on win98SE i got

"Access violaion at address BFC2483C. Read of adress A0000050. Please report this problem to the author. ... Continue with execution?"

When i press Yes, TC starts and everything works normal. This doesn't happen with pb1, even after reverting from pb2.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce this problem here. Could you please rename your wincmd.ini and then start Total Commander? This will use the default settings.

If the error is gone, then please try to go to the directories which were stored in wincmd.ini under [left] and [right] sections.

If you get a crash now, it may be some icon handler or shell extension.

Still no crash? Then please send me your wincmd.ini by e-mail for testing. Thanks!

Started with new wincmd, no crash.

Went to all dirs under [left] and [right], no crash

Deleted all entries in those sections in wincmd.ini prior to starting again, crash.

emailing the wincmd.ini now.

Thanks! It would be helpful if you could delete as many lines as possible from your wincmd.ini while still getting the crash. I guess that it's some plugin, so I suggest that you first delete the plugin sections one by one. Once you have found the section which causes the crash, please repeat the same with all plugins. Just delete half of them. If crash, then the bad plugin is in the plugins which are still loaded, otherwise in the other part. Then take again half of that part, etc.

I did. It was nothing wrong with plugins.

Crash stopped when i deleted the folowing line

Code: Select all

DirTabOptions=955

There was no crash with this line but different values: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16...1024. Didn't have time to try another values, but will if it is necessery.
Maybe entry DirTabLimit also has some influence.

Thanks, this will help me a lot to find a fix the bug!

Located the entry.

If "Tabs on multiple lines" is checked, then crash occurs.
If unchecked, works ok, regardless of other tabs settings.

Hope this helps even more.

Thanks, I could reproduce and fix it now!

Confirming that bug is fixed in TC7 pb3.
