I'm...really in need of some help. I don't understand why, but I get this error message. over and over and OVER.

"Access violation at address 0046C6FB in module 'starfury.exe'. Read of address 000000EC."

Thoughts? Comments? Solutions?

Well, that would really only provide useful information to Aaron.

When exactly does the error occur?

Is this stock SF, or have you made some changes? Using a mod?
If so, what mod, and/or what kind of changes?

Well, I did try to add an item to the components list. But after the first try, I made everything as it was previously (stock).

The error windows begin appearing once I execute the menu program. I have to click okay on a dozen or so windows before I even see the meneu show up. If I alt tab or simply click away, a new one appears on top of the initial menu. If I select settings, I have another few identical windows to go through before that shows up. That about sums it up.

UPDATE: I attempted to press the button to play, and went through about 30 of those windows before getting a new one.

The menu that has the "play game" / "video settings" and such?
Yikes, that's not good.

Main tip:
- Never edit the stock files.
Instead, copy the campaign folder, and edit your "copy of campaign X".

I would suggest reinstalling SF as the most straightforward thing to do next. It sounds like something must have gotten corrupted in the exe... You didn't have a catastrophic failure lately? Power outage while loading or something?
Mught want to do a virus scan too just in case.

Thanks for the tip, and suggestion. Unfortunatly, Reinstalling did not make the problem go away, for some reason.

I don't think I had any interruption of installation on either installation. I'm not sure what happened...but it didn't make a difference.

I suppose you could check & update your video and sound drivers. DirectX too.

If that dosen't work, email Aaron at sf@malfador.com with the error message, and all your system details.
I've got to get to bed now... too many Xmas parties.

Hey...I was wondering. A while back, I tried to pick this game back up, but encountered some sort of security issue. When I installed the game, I didn't need this security code, but it suddenly demanded it. I'm not even sure why. I tried tech support, and will again on Monday, but so far, solutions seem to go nowhere. Has anyone else had a prompt come up asking for a code in order to play (or go to some fictitious "default" playing thing)?
