MSVBM60.DLL crash

[DjLizard]

MrG:

I had this problem today for the very first time. (which is reported by others, elsewhere on this forum, several times (I think))

 

Windows Me, laptop, 192 MB of RAM... first time the system's ever been cleaned (by ANYTHING)... the CCleaner progress bar must have gone to 100% about 15 times before it crashed (MSVBM60.dll). It's Windows Me, so of course it doesn't tell you anything useful when applications crash, unlike Win98. I then emptied %temp% by hand and then CCleaner finished instantly (deleted 4 MB) and stopped crashing. Not sure what relation it has to anything, just thought I'd throw my notes in here.

This seems to sometimes happen on older OSs like 98 or ME. Although it very difficult to diagnose issues in MSVBM60.DLL, it's likely down to an error in the file system.

[DjLizard]

Probably one of many FAT32 filesystem bugs, eh?[like the 'free space' bug] Do you use raw API to delete files, or a built-in function?

[MrG]

Pretty much all raw API stuff. I'll see if there's a better way to trap the errors.
