However its been a minute and I forget how to fix Access Violation errors? I added control to a menu option and when I go to open it online the system crashes and gives me.

I whole heartily apologize to all. I never posted the DLL fix all those years ago.. I just happened to have an itch to bring the BBS back to life. I did not have the DLL myself, but I was able to crawl the dialosft website and find the fix. I just downloaded it and drop it in my WGSERV directory and ...

as far as i know, you could only play on the servers. Gardner never released the code to anyone to run their own.

I have an old Perl Script somewhere that I used for my MudBot back in the day, I may even still have the source code. I just could not remember what applications i needed to make it function after a system crash.

This is the error I am getting, this is from the out log.

I have a fresh WG3.3 installation and a fresh Dialsoft Control 5.62 installation. But upon launching I get a dialcntrl.dll error, saying it cant access the memory resource. Any ideas?
