  • BigShot 2.xx


PROBLEM

When running BigShot with Internet Explorer 4.01, the following error may occur after exiting Internet Explorer:

"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."

WORK AROUND

To resolve this problem, download and install the latest version of Internet Explorer from Microsoft Web site: www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/

Note: This problem can be circumvented by disabling BigShot's support for MSAA. However, BigShot will not track on-screen events if support for MSAA is disabled.
