exception error on startup

[balemon]

Running Win 2003 server and upon startup I get an exception error. It pops up even before the xlobby screen shows.
I've copied the error below.
It talks about JIT debugging and I have no idea what that means
Can anyone help.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I am running Xlobby on Win2k and getting the same errors. Seesm like it involves the .NET framework because when I downloaded the updates for .NET from the Micro$oft site, it seemed to help but it still comes up occassionally.

If you are running anything but XP I've noticed things like this unfortunately are somewhat common. But its not always the case... have you been changing your skin or databases much lately? I've seen it randomly crash because of a problem with one of those things.

Try to download newest directX runtime for your OS... Seems like problem is Dshow related...

[fizzasist]

Thank you! I should have figured DirectX to be an issue......I had not updated that yet......I'll do that next.

Have a good one!

I was having issues with dshow in xlobby and winfast PVR. I dumped it all tried XP again. suffered lockups everytime a movie finished and have put win2003 backon and now it seems that winfast PVR is happy (One step closer). I'm upgrading my Vid card now from an older ATI9800 to a Nvidea 7600gs.. I will jump on line and find the latest .Net and apply and give updates. Would love to get 2003 up and stable.

Thanks for the suggestions so far...

After updating DirectX and .NET I got the older version of XL to work but (silly me) decided to update to the newest version of Xlobby and I get this message now:

Unhandled exception has occurred.......Unable to find an entry point named 'RegisterRawInputDevices' in DLL User32.dll

Seems like more .NET non-sense so I guess I am just not meant to run the latest XL on Win2k.....

yep, exactly what i try to say here: http://xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5935

[fizzasist]

Thanks P3rv....I am just going to stick to the later version.....it runs fine.....just kinda wanted to see what the latest had in it but that will be for another machine and another day.....

Have a good one!
