Wintex Error

A friend keeps having trouble with Wintex, no matter what version.

WINTEX50 caused a general protection fault

It could help if you could at least say what you do just before it crashes.

Apparently this happens when he tries to load a wad.

Latest version of Wintex?
All DLL files installed?
Latest version of the VB runtime libraries?

Looks like he'll have to redownload Wintex 4.3 and then download thos "patches" the other guy made, Javier something, I believe.

Have you tried just reinstalling it? While you're at it you may as well pick up 5.0 (although I have no idea what change it makes except the lump list is slightly shorter...)

as far as I can tell the changes to 5.0 are totally worthless, it does not fix any wintex errors, not allow for grapics taller than 256 pixels (or textures taller than 128) or anything

however now when you quit, 5.0 asks "are you sure you want to quit?"

i get the same error! i've did everything i can think of. Installing different versions. Installing it in different places. Trying different wads. All methods fail it.

This fixed all my problems with Wintex on XP.
