I used have this problem alot, as anyone will tell you! (TealSlut)

I fixed it by reformatting my computer

You probably wont want to do as I had my regrets!

Try re-installing half-life, this worked for me once. You may have problems such as hammer can't access your Ram or summut, I had that too!

Good Luck!

This is the error I'm encountering. All you need is the top information.

Wait, what are you talking about? An english version of hammer? There only is an english version. And if you're talking about windows itself, I only have the dutch version. And I don't see a reason to install the english version of windows even if I had it.

The error report is dutch because my windows is dutch.

Can you translate it to english and post the translation?

I could, but it's useless because it's about sending the error to microsoft.

Ok, so, if it is doing this EVERY time you open Hammer, without Hammer loading ... or anything. Then it is corrupted (That error means the program is accessing system memory, it's the equivilent to a UNIX segmentation fault.).

That's about the best answer I could give. If it isn't that, then you've got something else affecting that executable file. In which case, scan your computer several times. Eliminate every threat that comes up. Check for Spyware. [addsig]

Ok wait, what are you trying to say here?

He's saying hammer is corrupted - run some good checks on spyware/anti virus, possibly delete any reg keys relating to hammer and try reinstalling it.

install it to a different folder as well.. if it still crashes after fresh installs and you dont have viruses/spyware, do a complete system format.. sometimes it's the only way.

everyone else:
Jezpuh is right, this isn't a case of needing an english translation.. that's just the error box we ALL SEE on windows xp, except in a different language

i'm amazed how international culture still baffles people...

I already ran virus scans, spyware scans, regclean, renamed my wad folders, reinstalled it in a different folder.

There is this one ram check program which I'll run tonight. Because it's obviously my memory which is screwing it up.

Are any other programs behaving the same way? I think this might be a problem with your machine. Assuming you've done everything mentioned in this thread, of course.

Pompous ass .

i consider myself particularly literate in the more obscure words/phrases, so i know what this means.. but has anyone besides me noticed, that each of us uses words we would never do with our mouths? i mean, in my 42 years, i cannot recall once using the word pompous.. is it an outdated word, or just not current american?

Neither.

It just fits me particularly well

edit: I will say also, I would use the word myself in conversation - and without disrespect, I think your choice of words is relevant to the "intelligence" of your peers. Certain peers in my social circle would whole heartedly latch onto my implications and whatnot if I used a word such as pompous, others would look blankly ahead with that glazed "I don't understand what he just said" look in their eyes...

edit edit: and yes, I do waffle and use a large and extensive vocabulary in everday speech.. more signs of my pompousness, perhaps *chortle*

Okay, so, did you download a new copy of hammer NOT from where you downloaded it before?

Did you clean out Hammer (including the registry) and install the new copy; continue to get the same issue?

If not, here are the steps of what you need to do:

1. Uninstall Hammer
2. Clean Registry of Hammer Listings
3. Download NEW copy of Hammer from a different site
4. Preferably restart, since Windows is a bitch and has no effective registry refresh function.
5. Install NEW copy of Hammer.

Do all of that, then come back with the results.
Also, I didn't say the problem was your RAM. I said that Hammer is accessing areas of memory it doesn't have rights to access.

If Hammer is the only program acting this way, the problem is Hammer. [addsig]

hammer is extremely stable, but over sensitive to driver clashes.. my suggestion for what its worth..

1) un-install hammer.
2) run regclean
3) run spybot
4) reinstall hammer.

i am betting, that assuming hammer worked before, it will work again.

There are key differences in our posts.

You say to use a program to go through a delete hammer entries. I say to do it manually (through another program). I also tell him to aquire a new copy of the installation. [addsig]

i know that silly, but.. if the error were solvable using yours, so to would mine.. because i doubt he is dumb enough to use a corrupt hammer, and the proof being, his copy worked the first time..

i was just posting it as a comparison, because i hate mine being red

Actually, the problem could very well be a corrupted installation file. I suggested everything else since it's best to not take chances and cover every corner ... and I never marked any of my stuff as answers, because usually, even if I'm right, my answer gets marked wrong because the person didn't do what I told them.

Well, blue isn't that great either ... especially in smilies:

i feel you may be right, but.. i hold that its more likely its a conflict of drivers/programs.

hammer doesn't just quit.. its very stable. something he installed, or a place he visited online recently is the cause.

I thought it wasn't working at all ... as in ever.

It worked before and NOW it doesn't work?

Oops [addsig]
