Subrip crashes on startup

[[MA]Debito]

Topic says it all. Subrip (1.17.1) and .097b crash on startup too! it didn't do this a few days ago...btw, i'm using windows xp. What's wrong here!?

[unplugged]

Yeah, me too, hyperthreading issue ...I think. :x

Same problem: subrip 1.17.1 crashes on startup when used on P4 HT.
I wonder if Zuggy looks after this bug...

[BoF]

hey that's a random bug! I'll never close this program because I fear I couldn't reload it :D

[Piaf]

weird, no problem here whit Subrip 1.17.1 on P4 HT, no crashes at all.

[BoF]

Piaf, are you under XP?

[Piaf]

@ BoF: yes running XP Pro/SP1,it must be something else i think..:confused:

To fix that problem:
- Create a shortcut on your desktop,
- Right click the shortcut, then choose "Properties",
- Select the "Compatibility" tab,
- Check the "Run this program..." option and select "Windows 98" in the listbox.
- OK to validate.

YES!!! Worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

It is nice to have this workaround but IMHO it would be better to fix it.

Message box says:

Runtime error 216 at 00404002

Bug is not random as someone said. It is caused by null pointer (that causes access violation) at the mentioned address, which is same every time.

It is true that it doesn't happen sometimes. For me, program starts fine when the system is loaded (e.g. movie playing in the background), but it won't start on "empty" CPU so I guess it is some kind of race condition.

Perhaps recompiling with newer version of Delphi would fix it?

Just to add that I have 2.8e too.
Perhaps it is the frequency and not HT?
Anyway, it should be fixed because it is ugly.
