Crash on Startup using Direct3D Plugin

[Arthkan]

So, I've tried looking around for answers to this problem for awhile now but haven't been able to find anything that seemed linked to it(maybe I'm bad at searching?).

Whenever I try to start a game while using the Direct3D plugin Dolphin crashes and gives me an error report("Dolphin.exe has encountered a problem.. blah blah blah"). OpenGL works without a problem most of the time, and I can certainly go on using it without too much fuss, but I would really like to be able to access Direct3D to at least test it out.

I always try to keep Direct X and my drivers up to date but for this I went through and reinstalled them to be sure anyway, but it didn't do much of anything. I'm using SVN R 4681 but also went back and tried a few older builds to be sure, again to no effect.

My specs are:

Windows XP SP3
AMD X2 6000+
2GB RAM
Geforce 9800 GT

So, should I just give up on it or is there a known fix for this?

when you installed your Direct X which one did you install was it the August 2009 one

check "use panic handlers"

Ah, thanks for that.

With 'Use Panic Handlers' switched on I got the "No Possible Memory Base Pointer Found" message, searched that and found the workaround.
