Does any one has LANGu@rd . . . ? ? ?

Hi,
i have LANGu@rd v.2.0 on a win 98se box with 256mb ram and a 700mhz celeron and i'm running at this time just iexplorer. messenger and LANGu@rd, it used to work just fine(for the past 6 months) but i'm starting to get this error

Access violation at address 004E7787 in module '[email protected]' read of address FFFFFFFF.

and i tryed removing and reinstalling the program and the error continues
if someone could help me out or recomend another prog. that does the same as LANG. . . or similar i would really apreciated it.

I assume your talking about Languard scanner, if so:

thankx xmaddness, but i already have the prog. but i'm having problems, i was wondering if somenone knows what causes that problem that i stated in the first post. does someone has a nother prog that has the same options as LANGuard scanner and runs in a win 98se box

is languard up to date?

yes, mucolaca is up to date

When does the error occur? When you first execute it? Or when you run another porgram? When you try to close the program? Or just randomly?

AJ

when the program is running, and at the same time i'm running ie and messenger service

If you don't run one of those programs, does it still crash? You may have to reinstall/update either Messenger or IE. It could just be some conflict between the programs. For instance, have you updated Messenger to one of the newer versions? That may have caused a conflict... Just an idea.

AJ

yes, it does , i dont think that needs more than 256mb to work
or maybe i'm wrong ?:D

Should be more than enough memory. Hmm... what about Windows updates? Do you know if you recently updated Windows? I know certain systems have recently had problems with new Windows Updates (including IBM, HP, Dell and a few other companies). It's possible (if you have one of these machines), that the update messed up something in your Windows settings which is causing the problem. The update problem stems from the OEM version of Windows which were shipped with the said systems.

i have an oem version of win98se i check for up dates every week.

Do you know if the problem originated shortly after updating Windows?

AJ

i updated on friday and the problen has been sin ce monday of last week and i haven't instal nothing new.

What about uninstalling it, clearing out any remanents of it in your registry and restarting the computer and reinstalling it (restarting after the install, to ensure the registry's updated properly)? There may be some registry key causing problems. Or, do you have an older version that you could try installing to see if that has the same problem?

AJ

I HATE LANGuard lol but i like it.

lol Is there another program with the same capabilities you could use? I'm not that familiar with LANGuard, personally, but I'm sure there must be some pretty good competative products.

AJ

i don't know anyother program that has the same features and runs on a win98 box
it detects shared files, open ports, os detection, cgi scanner, and many other features .

try uninstalling, then reinstalling, and make sure it dosnt perform DOS testing, or it will flood out anything that could be.

looking into that error a bit I would start looking at running progs. (access violation sounds to me like multiple progs fighting for the same mem. address etc.) I would suggest doing these steps.
Run Adaware (www.google.com, adaware) and remove any and all spyware.
do a virus/trojan scan.
using ctrl-alt-delete- close everything but explorer and systray.
try running languard.
if it STILL fails, uninstall it, reinstall it, make sure nothing is running as in above, and try running it again. if THAT dont work, well something is really screwed in your OS/registry.

good luck !
