Hi, I have a problem with my computer where games freeze and I have to restart the computer via the button on the case. THOUGH with Command & CONQUER 3 I sometimes get this message when it seems like it is doing the freeze.

Now some maybe thinking "so why are you in this part of the forum?" so...

The only information I can find on this is debugging bits of code for C++ which doesn't tell me anything about what this really means or what causes it. So perhaps you guys who write C can tell me more?It is possible that the game has been written in some form of Visual C++, so when some parameter fails, your system points to the failed parameter.

These problems are usually cause by other problems being hardware or software ( registry etc ).

As far as the code for the game, the code is correct unless there is corruption in the game in which a reinstall should clean up. If a reinstall does not clear up, then it is most likely something else in your system that is CAUSING the game to puke, wether it be mismatched Ram, Registry problems, or just about anything else.

You can also check with the manufacturer of the game to see if anyone else has reported a similar problem. Usually you are not the first to see a problem with a game, and usually they have a FAQ setup or search link that will point out exactly what you are seeing.

Sorry that this doesnt pinpoint your problem, but as for the C++ of the game, the code has been tested before release through a quality control process which tests against most hardware and software configurations to debug problems. So the C++ code should be flawless in REGARDS to game play.If you get this error with other programs it seems unlikely to be a problem with the code in one program. Also, commercial games do not give up their source code so easily, to prevent copying. The source code you are getting is probably machine code or assembler.

But without knowing the EXACT contents of this error message, or the code you are getting, I cannot help futher.

I would suggest reinstalling/updating DirectX and your graphics card drivers.
