Looking For Something (GDI)
Hello again, chums.
I've been having an intermittent problem with blue screens & GPFs in gdi.exe recently (I blame that crappy v5 update of ZoneAlarm - I had to get shot of it and re-install the previous version : software companies - don'tcha just love 'em? Always trying to 'improve' things which don't need it!). I've read KB 229670, and it looks like the fella. It suggests replacing the original W98SE versions of gdi.exe & gdi32.dll (4.10.2222) with later ones (4.10.2223). Can anyone point me in the direction of a site (or whatever) where I can download these from? TIA -- Regards Nigel Stapley www.judgemental.plus.com reply e-mail address will bounce |

Thanks, but I tried that one - it's an earlier version, alas.

If you are having experiencing *precisely* the problem noted in that article
(GPFs in GDI.EXE), you get it the required files exactly where the article told you to get it--directly from Microsoft by calling for the patch. You contact MS Support for your region, and ask specifically for that patch (citing the KB article) and *only* that patch. Providing you don't ask for any further support, you will not be charged. -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP for Win9x "Nigel Stapley" wrote in message ... Hello again, chums.

It's my understanding that if you contact MS and stick to the specific problem, you won't be charged. On GDI errors, you might want to investigate video drivers or settings first. Try a different resolution, turn down hardware acceleration, less color, updated drivers.. |
