Thread: c++ error

I have an error that i get everytime i want to play a game I like and i get it on some other things too.
The error says Assertion Failed!

Program: C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe
File: ../../../src/share/native/sun/awt/.../fontObject.cpp
Line:489
Expression: offset < fFileSize

For More information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on assets

(press Retry to debug the application - JIT Must be enabled). When i press retry it fails then closes the program Abort makes it close and Ignore allows it to run. Thats between Abort, Retry,Ignore and I get by Ignoring this but it would be nice if this didn't pop up at all. I always get two the second one is
Assertion Failed!

Program: C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe
File:../../../src/share/native/sun/awt/fo...\fontObject.h

Expression:fUseCount == 0

Abort-Retry-Ignore are the three options it gives me. I tried to enable JIT but I can't find it.

well, I've come across assertations and the JIT (Just-In-Time [compiler]) as Java-related things (I don't use Visual C++)... basically in Java you can set up a test case for a function of peice of code and then assert it. basically it's something that should only be happening during the debugging phase.

basically, what you have to do next is look at what you've changed recently. have you installed anything? have you upgraded anything? you want to pay specific attention to the Visual C++ compiler and the specific game in question, but don't overlook other things. it could be something (that seems) completely unrelated.

> Program: C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe
I'm assuming that this isn't a program you've written.
"LimeWire is a free file sharing Gnutella client for Windows"

Basically, unless you have the source code for this program, there is nothing you can do about it, and there isn't a whole lot we can do about it either. This board isn't for fixing other peoples code downloaded from the internet.

You should be sending that information to whoever created that program in the first place. Look in the "help->About..." or the documentation to see who to contact.

It's just the fact that I get two messages for like opening that program visting some other web pages and one other program that i can't remember right now. As it appears you know much about this so I'll just ask one more thing. How do I enable JIT? And I don't know anything about c++ I just thought this would be a good place to ask for assitance. And I have never messed with code so don' expect me to mess with any.

If you don't want to mess with code, then there's nothing you can do anyway, so enabling JIT won't help you one bit.
(I think you need VC++ installed, and this should enabled Just-In-Time-Debugging automatically.)

> none of you can help me
Because you're asking the wrong questions in the wrong place.

Face it, you're only here because some error message you saw mentioned "c++", so you've basically cast around for anything to do with C++ (how am I doing so far).

Without the source code, and a good deal of experience, there's not a lot anyone here (or on any other message board) can do with "assertion failed" messages. It simply means "the program is broken".

Like I said in my original reply, you need to tell the author of the program. If you haven't done that yet, you're simply wasting everyones time.
