Getting Exception Access Violation error

Hello,

I've been trying to get the Amazing Brucey's libtcod.mod working. And while I've been able to get it to work a few times, what happens is that at some point I start getting this error message, "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION". I'm using his supplied example_01.bmx file so it's none of my own code.

Somehow I get it to work again but then the error starts showing again. I've tried this on three different computers with the same results on all three -- it works initially then starts getting this error. But I'm at the point now where I can't get the error to go away on any of the three computers.

I'd really like to use this mod as I cannot find a good substitute.

Any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions?

Thank you,
Mark

Ive not used the mod, so this is just a shot in the dark.

Does the program actually shut down? (As opposed to still running in the background)
I question this because the first few times you run something might be grabbing all of some resource.

OK, it looks like you're right.

The executable will sometimes stay in memory after shutdown and will throw that error if I try to start it up again.

Even after ending the process I need to wait a bit until I can restart it without the error.

At least I can move forward again.

Thanks!
