This is simply stating that you are logged in from the main console. You have a 256-user license, and the main console does not account for one of these lines, so you are using line "0" of your 256 lines available.badshark wrote:hopefully an easy fix i do find it wierd that it says user 0 of 256 so maybe i just dont have something set up right
This tells you to see the "Routines" section below for the exact reason for the crash. So, when you look at this section:badshark wrote: WORLDGROUP EXCEPTION @ 0043DB50 (see "Routines" section below)

Access Violation. Attempt to read from: 0
This tells us two subroutines {0043DB20 and 0043DB50} are trying to read from the disk at the same time, while subroutines {0043DB50 and 0043DB64} are trying to write to the disk at the same time, so you're getting an access violation error. This is normally caused by editing one of the WCC*.dat files and creating a situation where two rooms/monsters/etc has the same ID # assigned to it. If you've never edited your files, then it would most likely be a faulty installation. The steps detailed above by cjt will provide you a fresh re-install of the databases, and will fix the problem....unless you've edited the dat files. In which case, you will have to figure out where you went wrong, or use un-edited files to overwrite your changes. If you accomplish a fresh install using "clean" files, and the problem persists, let us know.badshark wrote: Routines:

Thanks, Joker.
