I've used AGS to create games before, but this error has got me completely stumped. It occurs whenever I try to test the game, or run it from the comiled .exe file.
The error looks like this:
---------------------------
Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000005 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x004ACC3A ; program pointer is -182, ACI version 2.62.772, gtags (0,0)
AGS cannot continue, this exception was fatal. Please note down the numbers above, remember what you were doing at the time and notify CJ on the Tech forum.
Most versions of Windows allow you to press Ctrl+C now to copy this entire message to the clipboard for easy reporting.

OKÃ, Ã,Â

I haven't done much yet on this game, just imported a few sprites and background pic, etc.
I started with a blank game, rather than the default one. Could this be the root of the problem? The only thing I can think of is that I haven'timported any cursor sprites yet.
EDIT: Adding cursor sprites does not help.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
Try switching/turning off sound output in the game setup, installing latest sound drivers and installing latest DirectX.
Thanks strazer, switching off the sound worked. ;D
I'm a bit clueless as to where I should look for new drivers though, have you any ideas? I guess I might have to find out what sound card I've got. Sorry to be a pain...
QuoteI guess I might have to find out what sound card I've got.
That would help, yes. ;)
Maybe try installing the latest DirectX first.
