Hi,
I'm getting constant crashes with mGalaxy Runway when updating the DB.

I was updating a MAME DB, but I added Sega Genesis and it also crashed.

I'm running on Windows 7 Professional.

Here's the details of the crash



Also - here's the Windows Event log error with a lot more detail:

Ahhh......
I might be out of space on that drive - that could be it as it looks like it might be the point of writing the data and that would cause an error......
Checking now

Ok, please give me the result of your test!
From the error message, the error occurs while trying to download the (just) downloaded image and displaying it in the interface!

Will do - it's looking good so far but I want to let it run for a while first

It's still running and no crash so far (fingers crossed).

Might be worth putting in a call to check available space before each write, and throwing up a dialog if the drive is getting below some threshold, with the option of saving the DB at that point, so that it can be resumed after a clean up.

When the crash happened it lost all DB info it had done on that update - which in my case was 1/2 a day.

Edit - left it running all night - no crashes and got all the MAME media. It was the HD space that was the underlying cause.
Hopefully this will help others who encounter the same problem

Thanks for reporting! I've adapted the code to handle the situation!

No worries - If I come across anything else that I can reproduce I'll report it.
Thanks for putting that into the code !
