Occasionally I will run the WAU and an error message will pop up stating that Data Error Protection (or something like that) DEP has halted the program. What I have noticed is that it usually occurs when I have WinAmp open.

I have the newest version of WAU, so I just wanted to post this to let someone know of this problem. (If it really is a problem or just my machine acting up.)

If you get a DEP error please post as much info as you can.

Here is the log from one of the crashes.

EDIT

It seems to have nothing to do with WinAMP, but what I have noticed is it will load some ads, but when I start it up and it loads certain ads, or when I finish updating and the ad rotates to one of the certain ads, it crashes giving the DEP error.

Which ad, can you check you windows event logs?

This is all the Windows Error Viewer had to say about it...

The description for Event ID 1000 from source Application Error cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

WowAceUpdater.exe
1.9.45.711
472073bd
unknown
0.0.0.0
00000000
c0000005
067b0860

The substitution string for insert index (%1) could not be found



EDIT

On a side note, I have installed and uninstalled WAU several times using IE, so I am fairly sure that reinstalling will not fix the problem.

Just load http://files.wowace.com/ad.html until the offending add pops up, and screenshot it.

Do you get any kind of prompt from windows? Like something you have to confirm?

When I go to http://files.wowace.com/ads.html on my web browser, I just get a 404 message.

When I run WAU I get these prompts when it crashes. [Attatchments included]

Screenshot the AD, not the application popups.

That is part of the problem... the ad never gets to load.... everything shows up, the list of downloaded, the list of downloads, but when it goes to load the ad, it crashes.

Also, I am now sure it is one of the ads, since sometimes it works, I update all my files, and when it switches the ad and before the ad can load... it crashes.

When I tried to load the ads with a browser, I just got the 404 - file not found error, I could fraps WAU going through to the error if you need me to.

No, just load the ad in your browser, and see if you can figure out which one it is. We know that one of them makes WAU crash for some reason - where are you located?

This is an issue for Kaelten.

I managed to get passed the 404 error and load the ads in Firefox.

Unfortunately, there is no way (that I can think of) to tell exactly which ad is loading that causes WAU to crash. Firefox seems to load every ad without error, however, WAU still has issues. When WAU begins to load the image, it crashes, well before I can detect what the image actually is to identify it for you.

The only thing I can think of is to consistently load WAU, find out which ads work, and then make a list of the ads that cause the crash.

WAU uses Internet Explorer. Use that program to view the ads.

Just used IE to load the ads from http://files.wowace.com/ads.html. All of them seem to load with out error there as well.... I just have no clue what is causing this.

Seriously - your summary of when the errors happen doesnt help. If you can provide specific details - that would help - like WAU logs or LAN traces

Where are you located?

Thanks, but unfortunately it doesnt help. Going to lock this thread, its not going anywhere.
