[1436 1]

Can anyone confirm that openal has DEP problums i got a STOP: 0x000000FC error while playing arma

From Microsoft

CAUSE

This issue may occur when one or more drivers that are installed on your computer are not compatible with the DEP feature of Windows XP SP2

The blue screen says that it tried to execute memory which could not be

executed.

The stop code is:

STOP: 0x000000FC

But other games dont freeze/bsod/restart but do thay use openal?

I belive i have found the fix for Freeze restart with Sound issues

Right click on my computer go to properties, then click on advanced tab under performance click settings, then click data execution prevention, then click the circle Turn on dep for all programs except thoes i select, click add browse to C:\WINDOWS find Cthelper.exe then click add again browse to C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA add arma.exe click ok Apply restart.

see if you get a bsod or pc restarts again:)

Method 2: Not Recommended

Turn off the DEP feature in Windows XP SP2

If you need the functionality of the incompatible driver, you can turn off the DEP feature. To do this, follow these steps:1. Restart your computer.

2. During the restart process, press F8.

Note On a computer that is configured to start multiple operating systems, press F8 when the Startup menu appears.

3. Use the arrow keys to select a Safe Mode option, and then press ENTER.

4. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.

5. At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:

bootcfg /raw “/noexecute=alwaysoff /fastdetect†/id 1

Note If you have multiple start entries or start options, you may have to manually modify the Boot.ini file for your computer. To do this, follow these steps:a. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.

b. On the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.

c. In the Startup and Recovery dialog box, click Edit.

d. Change the /noexecute option to the following:

/noexecute=alwaysoff

e. On the File menu, click Save, and then click Exit.

f. Click OK two times.

6. Restart your computer.
