Okay guys. I'll give you guys a simple solution. And i SWEAR it worked for me.

Right click your War3.exe file > Go to properties > Go to compatability > Check "Run as administrator" > Apply/Okay.

I'm running:

Windows 7]
ATI Radeon 4550-1 GB
2 GB RAM
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 Ghz processor
Motherboard- DG33FB

I hope this works for you guys. It sure worked for me.

P.S. Also disable all the other sound drivers through Device Manager, and just enable the one you use. (If you have more than 1 sound cards in your PC like me)

Cheers. Hope this works for you.

Hi. I have been getting fatal errors a lot since i just changed my computer one month ago. I'll provide all the details here and see if you guys can make out something.

My new computer is pretty decent, 8gb ram, radeon hd5670 graphics card, 6 core processor so im sure it can run warcraft 3. I also have directx 11. I've tried reinstalling warcraft3 and ive updated to 1.24d, ive tried deleting the temporary replays and the movies because some have said that might be the problm.

I tried hosting DOTA on LAN and people can join, but shortly after the fatal error occurs, even before starting the game. This fatal error thing can happen anytime from the moment when i join someone else's hosted game, to anytime when im still in the game, sometimes long enough to finish a 20min dota game. but recently it got so bad it rarely lasts 5mins past joining someone else's dota game, so most of the time i get the error shortly after choosing a hero. I tried shutting down all my anti virus and firewalls including window's firewall, and ive tried redownloading the map and everything.
Funny thing is, when i host a LAN dota game and play against a computer(easy) the dota game goes smoothly all the way and no error occurs, which is why i believe i've got the problem localised to me playing LAN GAMES with OTHER people on GARENA. Any ideas? Any and ALL help is appreciated thank you!!!!

so i have been pulling my hair out looking at other people with the same problem on these question sites and so far nothing has helped me. i have a hpdv2700 running windows vista. 2 weeks ago i was playing war craft three for old times sake. i tried updating it and it messed up and i had to uninstall it and reinstall the game. now it keeps telling me it cannot initialize direct x 8.1 install it or make sure i have current direct x. well i have it and my dxdiag is working ok. all of my video drives are up to date. some site have said to uncheck and chec the 3d accelerate option under display on dxdiag, well there is no option to check or uncheck them. they all say enabled tho. some were else on a site it told me to go to control panel and go to display and advance setting under trouble shooting but it sais i cannot make any changes....(i think it has something to do with my duel processor not entirely sure) so i am plum out of ideas and dont wana geek squad 50 dollars for them to tell me they dont know. any help? im pulling out my hair over here

i was having this freakin problem what you have to do is to fix it just go to My Computer properties then go to "Hardware" then click on "device manager" first go to display adapter select your video card upgrade it then go to your sound, video and game controller select your sound card driver for example SoundMAX Integrated digital audio right click and upgrade it. Restart your computer then run warcraft this work for me it will work for you to.

Kiko's "Standard Sound Acceleration" solution worked fine for me,

if u r directx 3d accelaration is enabled, try "Standard Sound Acceleration". It works fine.

Thx KIKO..........

From: mbkedtag on 12/17/2007
THE ONLY REASON WHY THAT ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS IN WARCRAFT IS THAT DIRECT3D ACCELERATION IS DISABLED.

To know if it's disbaled,
type dxdiag in the run command.
Go to Display tab.
Check DirectDraw and Direct3d acceleration. Status of these two must be "Enabled".
If it's not, then your Direct3d is indeed disabled, which prohibits warcraft from running.

SO THE QUESTION NOW IS, HOW DO YOU ENABLE DIRECT3D? Simple.
Just go to Display Properties (from the Control Panel), then click Settings tab, and then click Advanced button. Look for the tab where "Hardware acceleration" is present (in most cases, it's in the Troubleshoot tab). Drag the indicator to Full. Click Apply and OK.

Try running Warcraft again.

No, Kiko's solution does nothing for me. I've accumulated about 70 losses on the B-net because of this idiotic error. Here's a list of things I've done, to no avail.

-Replaced my motherboard with a brand new one of a different brand.
-Tested my RAM, checks out fine.
-Got a different sound card.
-Tried at least 4 different sets of drivers (omega and catalyst, of different versions).
-Switched my RAM to different slots.
-Checked my RAM settings in the BIOS - the default settings are all the lowest they can go anyway.
-Reformatted many times.
-Switched my video card (Radeon 9700) with another (Radeon 7200).
-Adjusted the sound to 'standard acceleration'
-Installed chipset drivers for the new motherboard

And probably more that I can't remember at the moment. I love Warcraft, but I can't stand this error. It makes the game simply unplayable, because it happens at absolutely random times and costs me games.

Does ANYONE have a new idea on how to fix this frustration?

By the way, I'm running:
Athlon XP 2000+
512 Samsung PC2700 DDR SDRAM
80 gig maxtor hard drive
Radeon 9700 Pro
Creative Labs Audigy 24 bit sound card
Windows XP Professional

This problem has dogged me for months,

I can start wc3 ok, then at random times, the game crashes to desktop with that error noted below,"cannot read" etc...

I have tried everything under the sun, driver updates game updates , formats, memory testers everything...

The only thing i can say is , this game used to work ok on this system, UNTIL, and i am sure it was around this time, but, i dcided to install a new CPU. I went from P4 1.6 400 fsb to a P4 2.66 533 FSB. When i had old CPU, my memory ran at 100mhz, with new cpu in, it ran at its default 133mhz, as my memory can support this.

So waht ive done is to (in the bios settings) is to manually force it to run at 100mhz.. ive tested it this morning, played 2 bnet games, and havent crashed yet, can others try this plz, it seems crappy that u have to downclock ur equipment for software though..

Well, same Game, same Problem.
I have the same Exception: 0xC0000005(ACCESS_VIOLATION), while playing Warcraft III TFT 1.12.
Here a list of stuff i tried to do, to fix the problem.

1. I updated all of my drivers.

2. I uninstalled many stuff form my pc

3. I changed OS from WinXP to Win2k

4. I changed RAM timings, slow down APG speed.

6. I tried openGL, and Software TNL

7. I changed my RAM, i take out some of my RAM to try with less RAM

8. I tested my RAM with memtest86, and Prime95. NO ERRORS found!

9. I wrote an E-Mail to Blizzard, and got a standard respond!

NOTHING WORKED!

The RAM where WC3 tries to access to is reserved to System Board (EXCLUSIVE)! Wc3 shouldn't access there! So why it tries to do?

I HOPE next PATCH will fix the Problem!
I payed for the game, so i want to play it!

I had the same problem. I've never thought the solution would be this :

Adjust the sound hardware acceleration:

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type dxdiag and press the enter key
4. Click on the Sound tab
5. Move the hardware sound acceleration level slider bar to the far right and then one notch to the left so it reads standard acceleration
6. Click exit and try the game again

Minor correction to the previous post:


The tag is -opengl NOT -forcegl. Sorry I had it mixed up with another game. Your target line should look like this:

"D:\Warcraft III\Warcraft III.exe" -opengl

I also realized that it might not hurt to pay a visit to windows update and make sure that you have all of the latest OS updates.

Ok. I've had the same problem that all of you have been describing, and I've found at least two solutions that work ON MY SYSTEM:

(1) add a -forcegl tag to your warcraft 3 shortcut. In other words, put the following text into your 'target' field:
"D:\Warcraft III\Warcraft III.exe" -forcegl
I don't fully understand why this works, but there is a rumor floating around that the problem my lie with DirectX.

OR

(2) update all pertinent drivers. I updated drivers for my SB audigy sound card, Geforece4 TI 4800SE, nForce2 chipset. I also patched warcraft 3 and DirectX to the latest versions. The nForce2 update seemed to be the most important for my system. The game worked perfectly after installing that particular driver update.

I don't particularly like the first solution, which is why I'm glad the second worked for me. I also don't like the idea of disabling the sound or living with piss-poor video settings. Let me know if this helps.

Got the same problem with the Cx00005 and stuff message. Disabling the audio driver just makes the program more stable. I was able to play for awhile, (without sound!) which is a big improvement but the error message still returned. (Less often!) I have tried all of blizzards suggestions, and they have failed although some did what disabling the audio driver did (less of the error message). I have one of the latest computers as well (P4, 512 DDR, Geforce 4 MX 400 etc). I am talking to blizzard abot it but they just to turn it around and say it's my problem. So basically we are all stuffed until blizzard get there act together. If someone could invent a patch foe this problem I am sure that people would pay money to get there hands on it! I would!

I found a possible solution to the current problem in Warcraft III

"Fatal Error, c0000005 Memory could not be ‘read’"

The solution is to adjust your Ram timings in the Bios to either blow the default specs (set by the Bios) or return the specs to normal (if you adjusted your specs upward). If you haven't adjusted your timing you might want to consider retarding your ram timing to make it more fail-safe.

Tom's Hardware wrote an article on adjusting your Ram in the bios, except that my solution goes the other way.

Read here;

http://www4.tomshardware.com/howto/20030701/memory_tuning-10.html

to learn how to adjust your Ram in the bios.

For the whole article at Tom’s Hardware go here;

http://www4.tomshardware.com/howto/20030701/index.html

Please provide feedback on this solution so ‘we’ (the Warcraft Community) can get an idea of how well it works.

Hi, I had the problem, too. I changed the FSB form 166 to 133, than it worked fine. From that time on I didn't have the problem again.

It's pretty obvious that the program has a bug, call the company and complain loud, get their latest version, or go back a version to a more stable one, ask them for other versions.
Stop thinking you are the only one in the world having problems with windows, everyone that runs it has problems, they are not all having a great life while you are the only one getting trashed on by bill gates, it's just that they will take a crap program and throw it away so it doesn't make them crazy.

Patirck, if you enocuntered the wc3 unable to initilize the dx8.1 which mean your graphic card not support the latest direct x, change bcak to 8.1 or change the drvier which support 8.1.

For the fatal error, fuck, I have tried many solution by chnaging all parts of my components ... i found that the RAM running at above 333 will give problem ... 2 pieces running together will give problem too.. creative driver will give problem,,,

I know exactly what your problem is about, believe it or not it is a problem with your audio drivers. Try disabling your audio drivers in the system icon in the control panel. Click the hardware tab then device manager. The audio drivers are listed under the title "sound video and game controllers". In there just select your main audio driver and disable it or suspend use, whichever is available. If the game runs after you do this it means you have to update your audio drivers. Trust me it's worked for everyone that has gotten the fatal error message so far

Just a couple of thoughts. Have you installed DirectX?
Disable firewalls and antivirus before installing.
Then try again.

Completely uninstall game. Install game.

Enough said.

If you still have problems (with Warcraft and Win9x, there is a good chance), post back and I will try to help you a little more.
