Re: [Linphone-users] Linphone PPA precise 3.6.1

[henman]

I  also have an NVIDIA graphics card and the Linphone video module crashes 
about 3 to 10 seconds into a call.  The audio module continues to function.

    --- Platform ---
               O.S.:  Microsoft Windows XP SP3
       Graphic Card:  NVIDIA GetForce FX 5600
   Linphone Version:  linphone-3.6.1


System event log shows:
    * Error occurred in: linphone.exe
      Error occured in module: msvcrt.dll : Version  7.0.2600.5512 Error Addr.: 
0x0002554a
   --> App Failure  linphone.exe 0.0.0.0 in msvcrt.dll 7.0.2600.5512 at offset 
0002554a

This might not be the same problem as the two O.S.s are different,  but the 
video card manufacturer is the same.  There might be some ideosyncracy in 
Nvidia's firmware and the format of data sent from Linphone that causes a crash.

This information is supplied in hopes that it will be usefull.

Cheers
