Access violation in Blast Corps

At random intervals during play (especially, but not limited to windowed mode) I recieve a message saying "Access Violation. While processing graphics data an exception has occurred you may need to restart the emulator". The game will then generally run for a few more moments before the emulator crashes. Any idea as to how to fix this? I am using version 1.6 of the emulator and have tried several versions of the rom.

I am using Jabo's Direct3d8 1.6 video plugin and everything at default settings on a system with a 2.6 GHz P4, 512 megs of pc2700 ram, an intel 865G video chipset and windows xp professional.

Do you have access to a ssytem that has a *decent* graphics card to test if the game crashes then? Personally, I'd bet on that Intel chip... when was the last time you updated its drivers?

Unless this thing uses openGL, I severely doubt it's the graphics chip. However, I think I may have solved the problem by switching to the d3d6 plugin.

D3D8 uses pixel shaders, of which the DirectX 6.0 compliant Intel Extreme has no support - thus the Access Violations. The D3D6 plugin should work better and is included with PJ64 for this reason.
