Just let us know if we can help with anything else in the future.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#71 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 20:40:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#71 DisplayFusion Well, at least 3 days now and so far no crashes. Hopefully whatever the problem was is now gone for good, either from the reinstall of windows or a newer/clean install of the intellitype software.

Thanks for all the help.

I am going to install the newest release of intellitype and see if the crashing starts again.

If you reinstall the latest version of Intellipoint, do the issues come back? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#64 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:02:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#64 DisplayFusion It is a little unclear. It is a definite improvement but it has crashed in the same manner at least once since uninstalling the intellipoint software. It has been 3 or 4 days since that crash where before it would go 1 or 2 days at most. So something in intellipoint is definitely making things worse, or triggering the crash or something but there is still something weird. For now, I would say that mixing intellipoint and display fusion is a bad idea but that is disappointing since the keyboard doesn't function right without it. Some of the media keys and all of the customization of buttons doesn't work.

Thanks for the follow up though. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#63 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:41:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#63 DisplayFusion Just wanted to follow up with you on this issue.

Could you try uninstalling it and see if it makes a difference?

Do you have a Microsoft keyboard or mouse by any chance? And if so, do you have the IntelliPoint software installed? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#57 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 20:23:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#57 DisplayFusion Unfortunately I think we have throw in the towel on this one for now

The debug log doesn't show anything helpful and we haven't had any luck reproducing it. If we think of anything else, I'll be sure to let you know.

If you get a chance, perhaps you could try loading up a fresh copy of Windows on a spare drive, to eliminate any environmental issues?

Sorry about that, and thanks for all your help in attempting to troubleshoot! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#56 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 14:14:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#56 DisplayFusion OK I disabled the advanced settings so everything is standard now.

It did the same semi-crashed thing this morning after about 30 minutes of use. The second task bar disappeared and all the buttons for open windows moved to the primary task bar.

This time, however, I'm not sure if I caught it faster or what but it was still showing in the task manager like before and when I double clicked the icon in the system tray it opened two of the wallpaper configuration screens and froze like before but then after about 30 seconds, the second task bar came back and the wallpaper config screens responded normally and I was able to close them.

So I right clicked on the second task bar (this didn't work when it crashed and sort of came back to life yesterday) and exited displayfusion. Then I restarted it and quickly opened the settings and pulled up the log location and copied out the log file. Hopefully there will be something helpful in there since the behavior was a bit different this time.

Thanks ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#55 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 18:57:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#55 DisplayFusion Oh man! Had a good run going but not quite good enough

If you could disable the Advanced Settings and test again that would be fantastic. Curious to see if it will go back to crashing the old way.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#54 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:37:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#54 DisplayFusion OK a new wrinkle.

It ran great for a couple days, maybe 3. That is the longest in a good while but I found this morning that the second task bar had disappeared and the buttons for the applications that are on the second monitor had moved back to the primary task bar.

That was the same behavior I saw when displayfusion crashed before. I went to the task manager and it was still there so I tried to open it from the system tray icon like before. It brought up the wallpaper configuration screen (like before) and hung (like before) but then it brought up 2 more copies of it. That was new.

I also noticed that when I did this, the second task bar came back and the icons moved back over to it. I can click on the icons to minimize/restore the windows on the second monitor like normal but none of the context menu stuff on the second task bar works (if I right click on the second task bar, nothing happens). I assume this is because the wallpaper config window is stuck open.

I had to end the process from the task manager to kill it since it never died, even after 30 minutes waiting for the wallpaper config windows to do something.

After that it restarted normally. Log file is attached.

Oh by the way I still have Memory Trim Disabled, Processor Affinity and Run as a High Process set to 1 in Advanced Settings. Should I disable those? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#53 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 15:42:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#53 DisplayFusion It was lumped in with a lot of other taskbar changes so we just put it on this line in the change log: Fixed: Many other taskbar improvements (cosmetic and performance)

Glad to hear it's been working so far, keep me posted! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#52 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 13:28:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#52 DisplayFusion I've run the .21 beta and then the full 3.4.0 release for a couple days without a crash now. Usually it would have by this point.

If it holds up through today and tomorrow I think this issue is fixed for me.

I didn't see anything in the changelog that looked like it was a specific fix for this except possibly 'hooking stability fixes'. Was that the one? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#51 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 19:51:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#51 DisplayFusion Awesome, thanks!

I noticed the second task bar was gone when I logged on my computer. I tried to open displayfusion to see if I had misconfigured it somehow and the settings window started to open and then sat with only the basic window there with no data in any of the fields or whatever and hung that way. I let it sit for an hour but it did nothing, if I put the mouse over it I got the busy cursor animation.

Eventually I had to kill it with the task manager and start displayfusion again. It came up with the second task bar properly.

The log is attached. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#49 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 20:03:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/repeated-crashing-with-331-or-340-betas/?ID=4acc84f6-a7ac-464b-a6ff-c13320102cc7#49 DisplayFusion OK I have it running now.
