Nifskope and Oblivion Construction Set crashes WinXP VM

The failure for the construction set also occurs when trying to use preview window of a dialog not just the render window.

This is repeatable and have been able to do so since VirtualBox 3.1.0 I believe the last working version was 3.0.8

This one is most likely fixed now, can't check myself as I don't have Oblivion. Please retry after next release.

Replying to leonid:

Tried 3.1.6, it also crashes when attempting to run Nifskope.exe or when loading a cell in the render window of the Elder Scrolls CS.

Both report something like "OpenGL Warning: Unknown program".

The March dated log I'll be posting is for Nifskope (it also tries to allocate a large negative value of bytes). The April log is for the Elder Scrolls CS (which has multiple occurrences of the unknown program)

The CS program functioned in versions prior to 3.1 but I never had the Nifskope installed prior to 3.1 so I don't know if that ever worked.

[notateamplayer]

Nifskope failure, large negative allocation

[notateamplayer]

Elder Scrolls CS failure, multiple ocurrences of unknown program

[notateamplayer]

Ok, I just noticed that the log did not record the large allocation but I did include an example in the original description of the ticket.

Even though that example is like -600 MB it is usually -900 some MB, if that makes a difference.

Could the following discrepancy be related to the issue ?

From the log file:

The video card is an NVIDIA Geforce Go 6100/6150 Using the 195.38.16 drivers (most recent, I updated the other day; I may have the exact number wrong)

I realize that this may be a low end card in my laptop but the Elder Scroll CS was functional at one point.

[notateamplayer]

Found an old drive image that had the Ubuntu repo drivers for nvidia 173.14.12 Programs crash with any version vbox 3.1 or newer. Does not crash with vbox 3.0.8

Currently have vbox 3.2.4 and nvidia 195 proprietary drivers (most recent) installed. The Elder Scrolls CS and Nifskope still crash the Win XP SP1 VM.

The Oblivion game that the CS is a toolkit for, will run.

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
