Comment on Salt Lake 2002 – not enough memory/crashes to desktop after starting error

Comments

Anyone else see the title and the site domain think, "Oh, was Salt Lake an obscure Intel architecture that was too stable and caused errors in programs because there weren't enough CPU errors during startup?"

The actual debugging war story (decompiling an old InstallShield installer and detailed examinations of a routine that presumed that 64MB was more VRAM that anyone would _ever_ need) was quite good too.
