------- Additional Comments From Andrew.Talbot@talbotville.com 2003-08-11 09:06 ------- Hi Mike,
I have not looked into how to do a backtrace yet, I guess that's my homework.
However, what I can tell you, at this point in time, is that there is not a problem with counter->QuadPart.
I do not now believe the problem lies in misc/cpu.c at all. I have determined that if one's computer is slower than 1GHz (I have a P3/450), then RealPlayer 8 will cause Wine to throw an 'Unhandled exception (thread 0017)'. It seems that somewhere, (presumably in its video-handling thread,) QueryPerformanceFrequency() is being called, and if the calling code receives back a value of less than 1000000, then it is not happy. My machine correctly gives it something very close to 450000 :-(.
