2.1b1 crash

[citricsquid]

installed the new beta at release, about an hour later it crashed, I restarted it and now it just crashed again, the crash behaviour is:

computer locks up, about 10 seconds later my mouse catches up with the movement made during the lock up, a windows crash dialog box opens up with the following contents:

However the files listed do not exist, so...

This is on Windows 7.

I think that's just Windows trying to be smart, the missing files. Please check if the installation went through properly - maybe even remove the entire previous installation before installing the new one. This is behaviour as described in 2.0.4.

Also check if you have a file called 'app.log' in your install dir - I'm especially interested in the last few file lines, or you can email the entire thing to me.

I experienced the exact same symptom on first use except I'm not sure if mine crashed after an hour or sooner. I also did not uninstall the previous version before installing the beta version.

I couldn't find that file so I uninstalled everything and then re-installed the beta, then it crashed again and I could find the listing files:

WER1E7C.tmp.appcompat -- http://pastebin.com/B4b6a9r0
WERE810.tmp.WERInternalMetadata -- http://pastebin.com/DN9d6mBK

Then after that crash I once again uninstalled everything and reverted to the live version of Whatpulse (download 36 on the downloads page) and now I have similar behaviour:

Every ~10 - 15 minutes my PC will freeze up for ~10 seconds; Whatpulse won't crash though. I've isolated this to Whatpulse, shutting down Whatpulse stops the problem.

Any way I can get a log for the non-beta version that can isolate this problem?

The beta version is also crashing on my laptop running Windows 8...
I've tried opening the log file, but it seems it is re-written when I relaunch whatpulse...

It has now counted only a quarter of my initial keys. I have uninstalled the previous version and re-installed from scratch, but this doesn't help.
I'll try to get the information from the log file when the application crashes.

I'm getting random crashes on Win7 about 1-2 times a day. I'll see if I can find app.log. I checked Event Viewer, and it's exception code 0xc0000005 again:

Code:

I've tried a complete uninstall, running as administrator, and giving user accounts full control permission for the WP install directory.

The good news about 2.1b1:
- After a crash, I can now start the program again without deleting the db
- No problems yet on WinXP

And have same error as Bloopy
I dont have any log in my installationfolder, and no tmp file in Local\Temp

[Bloopy]

Ok, I found that it only writes app.log if it's running as administrator. It crashed at 15:18:01, so the last log entry was 6 seconds before that:

Code:

No sign of any errors in the log, but I get a couple of warnings whenever I open the main window:

Code:

You don't need to check any further, they have to do with the network monitor, which I most likely have fixed for the next release. If you disable network, it'll remain stable.
