Bluescreen when starting ScummVM 0.10.0

Post by Protarios »

Hi, I made a CD with ScummVM on it.
To be able to use Savegames I start it via a batchfile containing the following.

echo off
md c:\scummsave\
cd ScummVM-0.10.0
rem copy scummvm.ini c:\scummsave\scummvm.ini /Y
scummvm.exe -c scummvm.ini

The mysterious thing is.
This works for about 10 times, then Windows Vista keeps crashing with Bluescreen and memory dump everytime I run the Batchfile.
But it's even more strange. If I now start scummvm.exe manually once now I can run the batch file again for about 10 times until it keeps crashing again.
I absolutely have no idea what could be the cause for this.

Bluescreen is a kernel or driver problem. Try updating your graphics drivers.
It could also be faulty memory or other hardware failing.

Hard to track down unless you provide more info (the bugcheck code for starters, and the list of modules would be helpful too. If you have WinDbg installed, try loading the kernel dump file with it and doing an "!analyze -v")
