Is this some kind of joke? I just enabled my LAN, and this popped up! What did I do wrong? My computer just sort of blinked, and went back to normal. I virus scan EVERY DAY and I think I’m safe… What should I do?
A google search of r6025 indicates that it is unlikely to be a virus and is more likely to be a faulty dll.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Im done.
looks like it could help you.
if not, reinstall windows.
Do not reinstall till you have used microsofts knowledge base. There are usually multiple enteries for such errors and you will have to read which platform (windows version) each entery partains to.
a “pure virtual function call” is kind of the c++ equlivent of trying to read the memory at null, so it’s a bug in something you’re running…
That sucks… What should I do? Uninstall everything? Start fresh? I don’t want to do that…
This kind of error can occur for two reasons.
(1) Someone tried to use a function that does not exist in their own code.
(2) Someone tried to import a function from a DLL and did not verify that it existed before trying to use it.
Chances are your LAN software replaced a newer DLL with an older one, OR the software you are running replaced the standard DLL with one it has modified for its own purposes (a sneaky/stupid yet not unheard of thing to do) and the LAN software replaced it with the correct one. Either way, you’ll have to find and restore the DLL in question.
I would first uninstall and reinstall the affected application. This may or may not help. (A well-written installer will check that the required DLLs are present, but most installers don’t). The next thing to try would be to hunt down the DLL in question. You might find the program “StraceNT” (Google it) useful to see which DLLs are being used by the failing program.
Hope this helps.
If you use Microsoft’s installer, or simply its Software Update tool, you give the system a good opportunity to detect out-of-date or out-of-version materials.
“Reinstalling Windows at the drop of a hat” is unfortunately not a very good approach to solving problems. You need to observe the problem, figure it out.
