[RESOLVED] 32 Bit Application or Game with the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE option running on a 64 Bit Version of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows SBS 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows SBS 2011 may generate an error message

When you run a 32 Bit Application or Game with the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE option on a 64 Bit Version of Windows you may receive one of the following errors

  • WSANO_DATA
  • ERROR_NO_DATA (232)
  • ERROR_NOACCESS (998)

These errors will occur if the application consumes large amounts of memory, the kernel denies read or write access to the address and returns an error to the application.

The Microsoft Knowledgebase article KB 2588507 provides a hotfix to address these issues http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2588507/en-gb

To apply this hotfix, you must be running one of the following 64 Bit operating systems:

  • Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2)
  • Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2)
  • Windows 7 (RTM)
  • Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 (RTM)
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1)

Windows will not boot with a Stop Error 0x0000007B

A very common BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) is a STOP error 0x0000007B and may indicate either a hardware, software or driver issue.

Please see the great troubleshooting guide put together by Tim Fisher on about.com

One thing that Tim does not mention is that sometimes it is necessary to slipstream the AHCI SATA Controller Drivers into your Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation media.  This can easily be done by downloading and using nLite to slipstream drivers and updates into your Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 CD Media, you can get the application from http://www.nliteos.com/

Common AHCI Sata Drivers include:

Intel – http://downloadcenter.intel.com (Look under Chipset, Chipset Software and then Intel Rapid Storage Technology.  You will need the F6 Drivers for either x86 or x64 depending on you using 32bit or 64bit windows)

Nvidia – http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk or http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
