Advisory Note on Microsoft Windows XP SP2
and SCF |
 |
After installing Windows XP Service Pack 2 you may encounter the following
problems:
 |
|
 |
| |
1. SCF on Windows XP SP2 - MEM_BAD_POINTER
Applies to: SCF 5.0 and later on Windows XP SP2
After the installation of Windows XP SP2 you may see error dialogues
from Smartheap containing the text MEM_BAD_POINTER.
These normally occur when Select Component Architect is closed, or
during a document generation, when each diagram is output. These
messages do not actually indicate that anything is wrong, and can be
safely acknowledged and ignored. This has been reported to Microsoft
as a problem with the XP SP2, but there is no solution at present.
To avoid the problem you can:
* not install XP SP2
* If you've installed SP2 and are seeing this problem, and if you
don't need support for East Asian languages, right-to-left languages,
etc, uncheck the box(es) in the Regional and Language Options applet
and follow the instruction for uninstalling (a reboot may be
required).
