What Dareacharound is trying to say is that he has encountered the same problem described in id:648667 , namely that input() and alert() calls do not work form him. That makes much more sense. A good way to check to make sure your hardware is working properly is to run a memtest86 test. You can obtain memtest here: http://www.memtest.org/#downiso Once you've ruled out a hardware issue, I'd try a spyware/virus scanner. I recommend Avast and Spybot to check for these things. | |
ty u for posting yea i have avast and i got nothing out of that and a have a malware finder but it got nothing but wich 1 of those do i click theres alot of them and i have no idea what they mean
| |
I second your post Jerico, and also recommend getting something called Malware Bytes. My brother told me that it caught a few infections that Spybot didn't see. And so I did, and just like he said, it caught and handled whatever Spybot missed. Now I run both anti-malware softwares along with my avast! for full protection :)

yea i just downloaded it and found out thats the 1 i have lol and i have avast they came up clean but i download a thing called registry booster2 and it found 550 errors and it would only fix 15 unless i pay for it do u know of ne other
| |
I second the Malware Bytes comment. I got a nasty virus that spreads itself through AIM by stealing your password and periodically logging on remotely. I eventually found some of it myself, but Malware Bytes found the other half that neither I nor my other anti viruses found.
| |
Malware Bytes and Spybot are NOT anti-virus program ;p They're anti-MALWARE, meaning they search for spyware and adware and other forms of malware, but not viruses. (I think they detect worms though)
Software like avast!, McAfee, AVG, and Norton are anti-virus programs ^-^ And one or more of those INCLUDE an anti-malware software with the deal (I know McAfee does includes a firewall and anti-malware tool). | |
okay i did a malware bytes and and avast scan both came up clean and i have registry booster 2 full activated i scanned and found 535 arrows i fixed then it suggest to restart did so and the problem is still there so i was told its prolly something wrong with my kernel so im goin to do a memtest but if that doesnt fix it is there something else i need to check.......ps by the way my computer is running way faster now doin all this ;P

That's good to hear. Yes, I'd try memtest at this point. If that doesn't turn up anything, it could theoretically be an issue with your operating system or BYOND itself. I'd try reinstalling BYOND to see if that clears it up.
If memtest doesn't reveal anything and reinstalling BYOND doesn't fix it, it could still be a driver issue. Although what driver I wouldn't have a clue. You can try reinstalling your video and sound drivers, dunno what other drivers would affect BYOND. Try unplugging any peripherals one at a time to see if their software is causing any issues. Last resort could be to simply reinstall Windows. | |
alright thx u basically just gave me all the steps i need thats what i need ill tell u if it works out

i need to know howw to do that aswell | |
Okay since nobody pointed this out, I minus well >_>
A REGISTRY is not the same as a VIRUS or MALWARE program. Registry cleaners scan your registry and, you guessed it, clean it up for you, so that you don't have to do it yourself and perhaps mess a few things up. Registry cleaners also search for bad values and attempt to fix them. Anti-malware programs, such as Malware Bytes, search your entire computer (or just your major files) for anything out of "norm" and fixes/removes them for you. These programs do NOT however "clean" your registry, but merely remove any infected files it may find. Anti-virus programs work the same as anti-malware programs, only their algorithm is different and searches for viruses, not malware. | |

As Lummox JR replied:
"(...)The nature of the bug, with modal popup windows not appearing, would tend to point to something really weird happening in the kernel. That can happen if a system gets into a very unstable state. If the computer has been on since you first reported this, I'd try a reboot--that might fix the issue right there. But if that doesn't do it, you should probably consider taking a close look at any drivers on your system that might be malfunctioning, and a scan for viruses or other malware would also be a very good idea. I also wouldn't rule out a hardware error, like memory failing--that can cause unusual bugs as well."
So, now Dareacharound is unsure on how to check his drivers and his hardware for malfunctions to nail down the problem.
Asides of this, he is looking for recommendations of a good virus scanner, to ensure that his system is not haunted by malicious software.
