He has a reflection probe on every floor

hey, I tried compiling reflections over night and when I got up this morning I could not get my desktop to show on my monitor, and I tried disconnecting the HDMI cable and plugging it back in. When that did not work I restarted my computer. Well, when I did that I was unsure how far along the compiling was. I tried to open up the CoD4 Compile Tools again and it automatically popped up a error message what is your advice?

The message read: "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

The process cannot access the file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare v1.7\bin\CoDCompileTools\CoDCompileTools.settings' because it is being used by another process."

There is also a "Details" button that drops down a message reading:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:





When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

... Did he install all the windows requirements like net framework, etc?

Reinstall tool or get another sp_tool.exe?

Run as admin?

Mystic is right, memory is important too.

I haven't had any problems either with Win 7.

Hope this helps.

Doubt his specs are the culprit since mine are a lot lower than the ones posted and I haven't experienced any issues compiling reflections with Win7 32-bit. I would suggest he remove all reflection probes except for one then work forward from there. It might help that he close all unnecessary programs though.

Also even though I haven't had to use some programs, I thought it might be helpful to set run as admin and change compatibility for WinXP SP2. Good luck.

Changed programs:

[root/bin]
asset_manager.exe
CoD4EffectsEd.exe
cod4map.exe
cod4rad.exe
CoD4Radiant.exe
converter.exe
linker_pc.exe
MoDBuilder.exe

[root/bin/CoD4CompileTools]
CoD4CompileTools.exe
