Hi BlckThrn,

Sometimes when games are installed, they can overwrite windows files.

I think this is what has happened to you. The cdd.dll driver is the Canonical Display Driver in windows. Grab the original from your installation disk and replace.

EDIT: Windows Installation disk.. not the game :)

Ok thanks I'll try that. But is that the only reason?

Thanks again!

BTW how can I get the .dll file from the installation disk? the file itself isn't there...

"But is that the only reason?" - probably not :p. It could also be corrupted; however I think this is the most likely. You may also consider running an 'sfc /scannow' from an elevated CMD prompt to check all windows system files.

I have the 64bit version so my cdd.dll may be different to yours, mine is the 6.1.7600.16385 version. I'd be curious to know what version you are running and what version other 32bit users have.

sfc /scannow didn't find anything wrong

I have the same version of cdd.dll but only in a 32-bit version of win7.

I'll try the replacing the old cdd.dll by the original one on the installation disk but I don't know how to grab it from there. Any help on this?

Hi and welcome

this crash was probably caused by CDD.sys the dvd/cd driver. I woukd

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 82cfc2ca, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: 92efca94, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

The version numbers are the same, that's interesting. Lets hope it's corrupt and replacing it fixes your issue.

Also did you try running the game in compatibility mode for XP?

I'll get back to you shortly with the location of the driver on the win7 disk. I just have to find it myself :p

It looks like this version of the driver came with KB974431, I have downloaded this MSU in x86 and extracted the driver for you, see attached.

BSOD's are commonly caused by faulty RAM and faulty drivers. We are looking at one driver issue now, this driver is the one shown in the dump file posted above. It's also possible that another driver on your system is causing this to crash. So perhaps checking the websites of your hardware manufacturers and updating nay available is also good policy. Lastly, run it in compatibility mode.

EDIT: I forgot to zip the attachment, you should see it now.

Hi zappmaster,

-Did you replace your driver and/or try with Aero disabled as described earlier in this thread?
-Could you please upload your memory dump files located here %windir%\Minidump. If you have lots of them, please upload the 5 most current.

Thanks
