Hi, what can I do when AoM crashes with error c0000005 in aom.exe?? The game
executed fine until level 17: Jackall Stranghold.

I have XP Home, Pentium 4 1.7 Mhz, 512 Mb, 20Gb HD, GeForce4 MX 440 Agp 8x
 
Hi Juarez,

Perhaps there's a problem in the saved game file?
If possible go back to an earlier save and build back to
the point where you're at now to see if you can continue.

You're welcome Juarez. :-)

Let's try some basic troubleshooting. If the problem still persists
please post back and we'll try some more steps. Good luck! :-)

1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php

You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:
http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php

2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards
Download & Run Spybot from: http://security.kolla.de to find any
Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system.

3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.

4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and
Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Some games
require a patch: http://www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a

5. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers:
For all Video / DirectX / Game and Hardware Issues, I have a
Checklist of Solutions at: http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/Video.html

Problem found!!!!

The file AOM.EXE was corrupted, some last parts were "written" in a damaged
hd sector... Solution: I bought a new hard drive.

Thanks!
