A. The bug/issue

  1. What you did: I tried to run an app (specifically Project64k, latest version)

  2. What actually happened or you actually saw: Memory problems when app is executed, goes away when Defense+ is fully disabled under options/guard32.dll is disabled.

  3. What you expected to happen or see: The application would open without errors or warnings.

  4. How you tried to fix it & what happened: Extensive attempts to resolve with a mod, documented in this post.

  5. Details & exact version of any software (except CIS) involved (with download link unless malware):
    The application is an online version of a famous gaming console emulator. It’s offline (normal) 1.6 version works, however the online version of it does not. (Mod edit: also the version 1.5 downloadable version does not work)

Download link: pj64k

  1. Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so exact steps to make it happen:
    Set Defense+ to any mode, except disabled, and run the app. It should return you the following errors:
    “Not enough memory for jump table!”
    “Failed to allocate memory”

  2. Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons):
    All I’m sure is that it’s related to CIS. Uninstalling it solved. Disabling D+ completely also made the app work again.

B. Files appended:

  1. Screenshots of the Defense plus Active Processes List.
  2. Screenshots illustrating the bug.
  3. Screenshots of related CIS event logs.
  4. Screenshot of More~About page.

  4. Have you made any other major changes to the default config? (eg ticked ‘block all unknown requests’, other egs here.): No.

  5. D+: Safe Mode; Sandbox: Enabled; Firewall: Safe mode; AV: On Access.

  6. OS version, service pack, number of bits, UAC setting, & account type: Windows XP Professional, SP3, 32bit, (no uac), Administrator. [Mod edit: My (mods experience is that it works OK on Win7 Vmware VM, fails on Win XP VM)].
