Dear readers, Last Thursday, I was setting up an engine tournament when I got error mesages similar to what James Walker posted at the bottom of this page. Here it is again: CHESSPROGRAM8 caused a general protection fault in module MSVCRT.DLL at 016f:7800f928. Registers: EAX=02c72910 CS=016f EIP=7800f928 EFLGS=00010282 EBX=07ccff88 SS=0177 ESP=07bd0060 EBP=07bd007c ECX=0000000a DS=0177 ESI=c0000005 FS=418f EDX=00000000 ES=0177 EDI=780341e0 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 39 32 57 8b c2 74 11 8d 3c 49 8d 3c ba 83 c0 0c Stack dump: 02c72910 7800f7f4 c0000005 00000000 00000000 07ccff88 c0000005 07ccff98 7800becf c0000005 07bd00a8 7800f5b5 07bd00b0 00000000 07bd00b0 07bd0180 CHESSPROGRAM8 caused an invalid page fault in module MFC42.DLL at 016f:5f401351. Registers: EAX=00000000 CS=016f EIP=5f401351 EFLGS=00010246 EBX=5f4d0008 SS=0177 ESP=0325faa4 EBP=0325fad8 ECX=00000000 DS=0177 ESI=02c3ff00 FS=31cf EDX=00000003 ES=0177 EDI=01392770 GS=11f6 Bytes at CS:EIP: 8b 71 04 85 f6 57 74 26 8b 7c 24 0c 33 d2 8b c7 Stack dump: 02c3ff00 5f405c16 0000092c 01392770 5f4d0008 013926a4 5f477754 00000001 013926a4 013926a4 0325fe28 5f492c76 00000000 0325fafc 5f4064d0 013927c0 But I don't even have Junior 9; I was using Shredder 8, which I've had for a long time. These mesages then automatically triggered emails to ChessBase. I've NEVER seen this before. Within an hour or so, my computer completely locked up. I rebooted, and then found that the machine wouldn't power off. So I held the power button down until it turned off. Unfortunately, the machine won't boot up now. It claims some BIOS error and also claims there's something in my A-drive. My A-drive is empty. The result: I may need to by a replacement computer because I can't get my computer to operate. I can't even get a proper boot up, so I can try re-istalling Windows. Does this sound to be in any way related to my error messages while in Shredder 8? I think they're only coincidental. I suspect that I was given a trojan, or a worm of some sort via e-mails from correspondence chess opponents. Yet it's odd that Junior 9 users are getting error messages similar to what I saw while in S8. Any thoughts? All the very best, Stephen
