abnormal program termination"





i have updated everything, does anyone know what is causing this and how i can fix it... i would love you. thanks.

Hello. This is Silkroad Online.

For those of you recieving runtime errors, it is suggested that you install the most recent graphic card drivers. The ones present in the Databank section of our homepage are NOT the latest graphic drivers.

You can download the most recent graphic drivers at:

For Nvidia users : http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

For ATI users : https://support.ati.com/ics/support/def ... olderID=27

Thats from the site.. But make sure your DirectX files are up todate. Also try to shut down all background apps you might be running.

But repost this under.....
http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewforum.php?f=3

There might be a tech person who knows what to do.

the problem is.... laptop drivers are not the same... does anyone know where to get the newest nvidia 440 go drivers... omg, im too drunk to deal with this lol. help me!

hahaha GG psych xD

Don't Drink and SRO

trust me, the results aren't that good.

I think he got that NOW lolz.

e.g NightV at GNG

umm, the game stilll will not work on laptop, can anyone help, or no?

e.g. metalcowboy giving an expensive weapon to the wrong person. And another one of my friends NPCing a 10mil item he'd been working n for a week instead of a normal item.

ok, i have tried ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING


when i force the laptop to use the new mx440 drivers, silkroad works... but the ..... display will not run the native res (1600x1200) and the screen is completely ..... up looking....


DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A PLACE TO FIND NEW NVIDIA GO DRIVERS???????

THAT IS ALL I NEED, AND DELL SEEMS TO THINK THAT UPDATING THEIR DRIVERS ON THEIR SITE DOESNT NEED TO BE DONE....

PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE FIND ME UPDATED GEFORCE4 GO 440 DRIVERS I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR 2 HOURS THIS MORNING, AND ABOUT 3 HOURS YESTERDAY, AND I HAVE TRIED SO MANY DIFFERENT DRIVERS... I NEED UPDATED GO DRIVERS SO BADLY, PLEASE.

sorry for caps, if you cant tell, im completely ..... upset by this problem.

well, it took me FOR ..... EVER, but i finally fixed the problem, if anyone else has issues like this with a laptop let me know, becuase i now know the fix

peace out buddies.

Hello man, I've got a Runtime Error prob. I don't know what is the latest update for NVidia GeForceFX Go 5200

Please help, I want to play sro again...getting bored of runescape en ET

I updated my driver and everything just like Hesseth said. Still not working. By background Applications does that include xfire or teamspeak? Without those Silkroad is pointless to me.

Hi,I have the exact same error as psycho(runtime error on a laptop) can you help me fix this problem?

I have looked at every single topic on sooo many sites that said Runtime error, and I've done just about everything they said. First, there was something about DirectX SDK, but no one ever said what to do with it. Then, I keep hearing I have to update my graphics card driver, but every time I try to install it says something to the effect of, "You have no hardware on your computer for this driver." I've triple checked dxdiag, and my graphics card appears to be Nvidia GeForce2 TI. Can any1 tell me what I should do???

I install the game. I do the update. I play one time and i leave. Then i try to play again but i see this:


I change my graphics cart to:
SAPPHIRE ATI RANDEON X1600XT 256MB DDR2 Memory AGP 8X
and i have AGAIN the same problem...
What i must do to play normal?

I think I get about the same error. It's a bit different, but every time after the gameguard thing this comes up:

"Runtime Error!

Program: D:\Program Files\Activision\Silkroad\sro_client.exe

abnormal program termination"

Although, I've also seen "Program terminated in an unusual way" or something like that.

Anyway, I've tried drivers, resolution, restarting, reinstalling, replacing .exe's, and banging my head against the wall

If anyone could help, although no one that I've read of has found a solution that works for me as well, I would be EXTREMELY grateful. I've heard great things about Silkroad, and I'd like to be able to see what it's all about.

(P.S. According to other topics, it has to do with a graphics card. Running dxdiag, it comes up as NVidia GeForce2 Ti, but I've tried everything I can to update it.)

WTF is this Farking floating point error..
Tell me plz i gonna be crazy

same here.... if anyone has ever fixed this.... PLEASE POST

I would love you forever if you divulged this information. If you don't check this thread, I'm also sending you a pm >.>

i pmed you too just incase u dont check htat anymore ....

to everyone that is not able to run the game on their laptop please read...


ok, to fix the problem, you have to get the newest drivers for your card, this is sometimes hard with laptops because they have specific drivers that you are supposed to use.

this is even harder if you happen to have the same model laptop as me (Dell Latitude c840) because the screen has specific problems of its own...


so... there are a few ways you can go about getting drivers that will work.


the first thing i would try if you do not have the Latitude is the Omega driver.

go to http://www.omegadrivers.net and download the correct driver for your chipset. (i.e. if you have an nvidia card, click the nvidia link and then the os link at the top of the page and get the driver)

these drivers will work with laptop cards, and will most likely work for you.

if this still doesnt work...

what you have to do is get the most recent drivers from either ATI or Nvidia and force the laptop to use the desktop card drivers. (i.e. if you have an nvidia geforce4go 440 like i do, then you will force the card to use the desktop mx440 drivers.)

this is what i ended up doing with my laptop (but because my laptop has a screen that supports 1600x1200 and has its own issues, i had to use 3 different driver versions and certain files from each driver version)

all in all you just need updated drivers, and most likely your manufacturer will not have them, so you need to force the laptop to use the newest drivers from the corresponding website.


but yea, try the omega drivers first as they are setup to work with laptop cards, then if that doesnt work, force the desktop drivers.

hope this helps. peace.
