HLDJ Won't start up.

Post by ninjapretzel »

Just as the title says. I start the program, then get the "hldj*.exe has created an error" box.

Nothing about possibly missing DLLs.
Nothing about exceptions.

Oh yea. Might help to mention that I'm on a win2k box at the moment.

Interesting... I've tested it numerous times on my 98SE box, it might be something specific with 2k, what's the error exactly? screenshot?

You'll need to go through Dr.Watson:
Select Start»Run, enter drwtsn32, and press the <Enter> key. The Dr. Watson window appears. This window indicates the location of the error log on your computer.

you may also want to check the prevalence of this issue. It seems to be related to ZoneAlarm or other resident programs.
