Devldr 16 error

[jimco]

I keep getting an error message " Devldr 16 illegal operation and will be shut down. This happens several times a day whether the comp.is used or not. I have to reboot to clear it. Is there someway to correct this?

[AnnMarie]

Hi jimco - from Paul Collin's list

devldr16 - associated with some Creative Labs sound cards. Provides audio support for DOS applications. Not needed if you don't have those. Required if you use "Sound Play Control" and "Sound Recorder". To disable: (1) Disable via MSCONFIG (2) Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager then disable "Creative SB16 Emulation" under Creative Miscellaneous Devices

[jimco]

I am using this program...should I try an uninstall and re-install?

[jimco]

I'm not sure exactly when this started. I did load the update for Windows Media Player several weeks ago. Could these have a conflict with each other?

[AnnMarie]

Hard to know what caused the problem jimco. Devldr16 has a known history of causing problems. Check in Device Manager first and see if there are any conflicts. I guess, if you are using DOS games and cannot disable it, you could try reinstalling your sound card drivers.

[jimco]

thanx for the info...I've disabled it....see if I can live without it.

[AnnMarie]

Yep, I would have chosen that option too and you are very welcome :D

[jimco]

It's baaaaaack. Came in yesterday and had the fatal error message. Removed creative SB 16 from device manager yesterday...came in this evening and had fatal error message again.......help please.

[AnnMarie]

Hi jimco - it might help if we have a look at what's running when you boot. Go here (http://www.spywareinfo.com/files/hijackthis.zip) and download and run a scan with Hijack This. Dont make any changes, just click on Save Log, copy it and post it back in this thread.

[jimco]

Ann marie,
Did not get the error message today....
Here's the info you requested. If there is anything here I can edit to increase perf....let me know. The fam. just got back from vac. ......don't know how much time I'll have this evening but I will check back L8r

Stack dump:

[AnnMarie]

Yep, it's running again. Here is a fix that worked elsewhere (Rollin Rog's):

"I do recall someone solving a similar problem with the DOS emulation install, by removing the sound card and doing a CUSTOM install in which one can skip the option to install the Emulation component. If that's an option for you, it might work."

I'll check your log for unnecessary startups later on jimco. I gotta run but I will be back later.

[AnnMarie]

OK, to fine tune your startups, go to Start > Run and type:

msconfig

then OK. Click on the Startup tab. The below entries can be disabled without any problem if the explanation does not conflict with your requirements:


[LoadPowerProfile] Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme

Loads your selected power scheme. May not be required - depends upon whether you modify the default Control Panel -> Power Options settings

[RealTray] C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\RealPlay.exe SYSTEMBOOTHIDEPLAYER

Just left click the icon to open WinZip, or right click it to instantly reopen recently used Zip files, access your Favorite Zip Folders, open WinZip Help, or start WinZip itself.". You can right-click and close it - choosing to not re-load it at start-up

Thanks again for the help

I'm glad we could help Jimco and thank you for updating us :D
