Comment:

I am a VB programmer, recently doing a VB4 to VB6 upgrade of my company's system. Often, i'll receive this Dr Watson's error whenever i signed on and off the upgraded system. The error is as the following:

(My program name).exe

Exception: Access Violation (0xc000005), Address: 0x77f7d66e

Pls help if u know how. Thanks a lot!

have you applied Service Pack 5 to VB? Might be worth a try also install the VB6 SP5 runtime dlls too.

Go to http://updates.cnet.com/ and follow the instructions, let it check you version numbers etc and it will point you to the correct places to get patches/updates etc.

Thanks Maurice!
However, I have already installed SP6 to my VB6 system. It has the latest patch SP6a. I have followed thru the installation from Microsoft site, does that mean i have installed the VB6 SP6a dlls too?
Any other possible solutions besides this?

Thanks a lot! :)

This is what I know about this error - hope you have further ideas! Regards JW

The status code in one of the error messages is -1073741819. If you convert this number from decimal to hexadecimal, it becomes C0000005, (Comment JW: NO: hex is 3FFFFFFB) which is the code for an access violation:
//
// MessageId: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
//
// MessageText:
//
// The instruction at "0x%08lx" referenced memory at "0x%08lx". The memory
// could not be "%s".
// #define STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION ((NTSTATUS)0xC0000005L) //
You can use Dr.Watson to capture the information from the Lsass.exe process. If Dr.Watson does not capture the information about the Lsass.exe process, you may want to set up the Userdmp.exe tool.

Hi

I get the same problems in a number of programs - Word XP, and Microsoft Photo Editor. Always c0000005, and Dr Watson records an access violation. If anyone has a solution, please let me know!

if you're using "win2k which take role as domain controller" it usually happen after you apply service pack 2. more information about this can be found on:
