Illegal Exception

[inFERNo]

Hi, I'm new to AGS but loving it already. Just stumbled over this while going through the tutorial on creating the first room, saving, compiling, adjusting the setup and trying to test it.
---------------------------
Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000005 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x00473CD1 ; program pointer is +206, ACI version 2.55.560, gtags (2039,36)

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.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------
Since it asks to report it, I thought I'd post it up...
See ya

Ok; I checked around a bit more and tried different settings but the error seems to be coming up every time, so does anyone know where to find a good overvieable, easy to copy specs list on winxp pc?
Any help would be appreciated.

Open setup options (File > Setup game...) and try to disable all the sounds (music).

hmmmm did you put anything in the game_start() function?

I disabled all the sound options and it works! Thanks a lot for the help.
Once I add sounds to the game, will it work if I turn them back on, or is this a general bug?

Something wrong with directx I think. Try different sound settings. Choose another driver (default wave out device). It worth to attempt to run with no sounds but music only and vise versa.
