ghostman is probably a spambot
Old Oct 1st, 2003, 07:55 AM        Urgent Problem Plz Help
i just installed max payne on my computer and a message came up saying:

[ The instruction at "0x771c732a" referenced memory at "0x0016a8f8". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate program.]

I try to run the game and in the middle of loading the game it goes right back to the desktop. If it does load a game, the textures are all screwed up.

I have no idea what the message means, if anyone knows how to fix this problem please help.

Thanks
Gh0st

I'm running on P4 2.6 Ghz, 256 RAM and a geforce 5200 with latest driver installed, and i have already read the max payne read-me troubleshooter.

Either it's a bug in the program working in combination with your system configuration, or it's a bad RAM chip.

This sounds more like a bad RAM chip to me, though, since you can always "read" any address of memory. If you happen to read the wrong one and work with that value, your program will crash or something, but it won't say that the memory couldnt' be accessed.

Does this happen in any other programs?

I'd think that is more likely, especially if it's only happening with that game. If the RAM is faulty normally a spontaneous reboot occurs when the affected area is accessed, in my experience anyway.

I did a Directdraw test, and there was some sort of error in dxdiag.

[DDraw Test Result: Failure at step 5 (User verification of rectangles): HRESULT = 0x00000000 (error code)]

Obviously theres something wrong, so how can i fix it?
