EventType : InPageError P1 : c000009c P2 : 00000003

I often have problem playing larger scenarios which do not load, leaving the above error message.

Any ideas

PS The SCenario in this case is the latest version of: Alternative WW3 01 Cuban Front. Intrestingly the previous version of the scenario does load...

OK, in case you thought none of us cared... what's the actual version? Are you trying to convert an ACOW scenario? Latest video drivers? More input, please?

Latest Patch.
The Scenarios if for Toaw 3 and has been downloaded from the strategist website, so that might be the problem.
I working on Windows XP [2002 service pack 3]
Its a Dell Laptop, about 5-6 years old.

More to follow.

With this computer and Windows version you should not have any problems so the conclusión is that the scenario you have download have any problem itself, on the other hand, ensure that you are playing with the standard versión of the game (not the version for Windows 98 or older systems)

"InPage" error you quoted seem to point into generic os (kernel) level problem. You didn't said how much RAM you have in your laptop but the error suggests that you may have not enough RAM and system is forced to move parts of virtual memory to pagefile on disk and then when system is trying to bring a page of virtual memory from file on disk back into RAM it runs into some kind of problem. The code quoted (c000009c) suggests it is a problem with bad block(s) on disk/partition where system and/or pagefile is kept (bad blocks on laptop disk after 5 years of use sounds like nothing strange btw!). So first thing to do would be to run "chkdsk /f/r" on the disk where operating system and pagefile(s) are stored. There are other possible reasons of InPage error (incl. RAM failures, bad software/driver etc.) but disk bad blocks looks like first thing to check. For more details take a look into following link:KERNEL STACK INPAGE ERROR fix.

Note: before doing anything else I would do first a backup of all the data on the disk which you are not ready to lose - just to be on the safe side.
