Hello all,

I have two questions about some problems encountered while installing games. The first one is more general.

1) A few games I've installed (most recently I believe was Mata Hari) come up saying "your version of DLA can read files on this disc but you will not be able to edit or add to them". What does that mean to me as far as playing the game? They seem to play.

2) While trying to install Memento Mori I received a BSOD stop error: Page Fault in Non Paged area. What does that mean? I sent the error report and it referenced drivers. I really don't know how to update drivers as I am never certain what drivers to update or what updates to do. I'm a little afraid to try the install again............

Thanks,

Jackie

I found an answer to that question ***here***. He shows how to disable DLA, but I don't think this is an error that's going to keep you from playing the game. It's a warning you can't do something you wouldn't be doing anyway.

He says
Quote:
After doing some research, I found out that this error message basically means that Windows is trying to find a piece of data in memory and it cannot be found.

According to Microsoft, this error can be caused by faulty hardware, anti-virus software, a corrupted NTFS volume or a bad system service.

Maybe that gives you some idea where the problem might be -- for example if you had an antivirus running when you installed the game you could try turning it off.

Thank you. I will look further at these links to see if something helps me.

I do always have my anti virus software on. I can try shutting that off when I install to see if that helps. Hopefully, that is the problem.
