Running on Win XP SP2, all latest patches
4 monitors on FireMV card.
Ultramon 3.0.3 Beta crashed 8 to 10 times a day.
Each time this happens, I allow it to generate an error report.
Then I have to manually Close it from the menu I get when I right-click on the icon in the Task Bar Notification Area and start it again.
Are those error reports being sent???

We won't get those reports, they get sent to Microsoft.
Do you have a debug option on the error message you get? I would need a crash dump to look into this, but on XP there's no built-in way to generate one, you would need to have a debugger installed.

Ah, that's too bad. I'm not a windows developer, so I have no windows development tools.
Anything else I can do to get details to you?

I'm not aware of another way to do this. But my guess would be that this will be fixed in the next release, several issues where UltraMon would crash instead of showing a detailed error message have already been fixed for 3.0.4.

Well, I suppose you could always trap the exception and print out whatever diagnostics would help you find the problem, or maybe create a core file or something... that's what I would do.

You can get access to those error reports through Microsoft - here.

Thanks for the information, I'll look into this.

I downloaded and installed 3.0.4 beta today.
The problem IS NOT solved.
You really, truly need to trap exceptions in your own code and the produce diagnostics that you require to fix your bugs.

Maybe it's an issue with a hook installed by another application, I had no crashes at all during testing on XP.
Running EnumHooks might be worth a try, please post the results here.

That looks okay, the only hook is from UltraMon.
Unfortunately I don't know what might cause this on your system. The hook installed by UltraMon catches all errors, in order to prevent the host process from crashing (some errors can't be caught though).

The instruction at "0x01680299" referenced memory at "0x00000249".
Are you saying that the code at 0x01680299, which Win XP claims is in Ultramon, isn't actually in Ultramon after all?

I was talking about the hook which gets installed into other applications, not about the UltraMon process.

Regardless...
UltraMon *still* crashes time after time after time, all day long.
Give me a debug version and I'll be happy to run it for you.

So it's actually Ultramon's Smart Taskbar that's the problem...
