After 1.11 upgrade, I periodically get "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)"

After upgrading to 1.11, I periodically get the following error message:

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)

It does not generate a log file. The only way to get it to go away is to re-install the Intel Video Graphics driver. The system is a Dell Latitude, the video chipset is Intel 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset. I never had this issue with 1.0x or 1.1.

Do you mean that you don't have any debug.err logfile generated?

It doesn't even get to the point to generate the error log. I am wondering if the XPCacheMan program may have something to do with it. I loaded it to ameliorate the memory issues with the earlier versions. I am going to see how things work without it and post the results.

The error code 0xC0000005 is an access violation (had a lot of those in my own programs... ). This means an attempt was made to access memory that the program hadn't reserved. This often happens with conflicting driver versions. The fact that it's solved by reinstalling video drivers is a strong indication thereto.

Check to see that your drivers are recent: display, sound, even DirectX. If I understood Frogboy correctly--and don't count on anyone to contradict me if I haven't--recent DirectX versions are used to build the game. It is possible that a combination of driver versions vice DirectX is causing conflicts on your system.

Does the error include something like "ialmdd5.dll - Address BF10A72B - Base at BF070000" or similar?
