0xc0000142 At my wits end

[civilcourage]

Hi folks,

Ive been trying for the last 4 hours to get dark omen to work and im failing miserably.
Im getting the error 0xc000142 after adding in the files from the how to guide (it worked before but with the flickering issue).

I think its because i dont have an english version of the game but i just cant find one online (my googlefu is also failing me and ive looked for a few hours now).

I'm turning to the experts, could someone help? Ive been wanting to start playing this game for a few months now and finally got round to trying.

Hi and welcome,

as you say, you need an English UK version of the CD. I am away in Italy/Sicily for a week but will look when I return.

Thanks Olly, much appreciated and thanks for keeping this site going, loving the dedication to such a great game!

Never give up!  Hex edited my file as per http://forum.dark-omen.org/help-section/windows-10-flickering-screen-t1323.0.html

No more flicker, full screen no issues thanks everyone on here! for the Great advice
---------------------


gave up again game plasy fine but flickers/double images  I'm using my own exe with your other files  and the changes below.  Guess I need to find a british game

-------------


Ok got it going again, removed the run in 640x480, removed run as admin, and compatibility mode from XP to win7.  works consistently now.   Not sure I can alt-tab yet  and it flickers  but I'm getting somewhere  and I can play.

640x480 mode is crashing because the Gefoce overlay thing which I disabled now.  I guess the alt-tab is crashing it and the fix is not working but I just won't alt tab.

re-edit a poop only worked once  shouldn't of closed it to come post here


---------------

Holly heck I just fixed it by using a mix of my original install files and part of yours.  I'm using my own exe but your mod pack... crazy.




---------------------

Is there a way to make other CD versions work?  I have a French Canadian CD and I've tried everyting.  Is there a place to buy a UK cd?

I got to a point where I either get that error (using the mod pack) or I get a black screen, some audio and the game minimizes.  Maximizing it yields a bit more audio and another minimize.  CPU usage by the exe is about 40% so its doing "something "

Yep, I will be returning from holiday next week and can help more but good to see you at least trying things yourself

Thanks for the info Gotrek, i tried the hex editing but got very lost very quickly. Ill see if Olly can help before i go down that route again. Im hoping having an english version solves all the problems otherwise my quest continues.

Helpful PM's sent you all and I can always remote in using Teamviewer for further assistance. Although I will only be following each step of the Help Fix guide.
