Bug Report: access violation

[Sash!]

As I tried to click on the "menu" butten, i saw the message
"access violation in address 0046D578 in module hfs.exe read of address 00000004"

[rejetto]

what version are you using?

[Sash!]

2.1a 61
But I saw such an error even in 2.0

One more thing: is it possible, that a ram-defrag tool causes the error? Cause I'm using ram saver pro.

[rejetto]

ok, i saw the problem: 0046D578 is the GetBoundsRect.
an unsolved bug, believed to be ingrained into Delphi, but still unsure.
you can search this forum for the word "GetBoundsRect".
few users get this error. most times it seems to be related with multi monitor. do you have multi monitor?
and, about the ram-defrag tool, i don't know, but it would be useful if you investigate on it, and report your results.

[Sash!]

I don't have a multimonitor. My video is S3 PRO savage 4, 32 MB and I think it cannot support dual monitor.
And about the ram saver - I made some tests, but now it's ok. The bug occurs after 2-3 days uptime. Even such an error is shown, the server works.
I hope this info would be useful for you.
I am ready to help you with testing the server, you can just tell me what else to do I don't switch off my pc at all.

[rejetto]

yes, somewhat useful, though not enough to fix it.
what if you press ALT key instead of clicking Menu ?
test next time the problem occurs

hi,

I had the same problem with the radio automation-software mairlist (http://www.mairlist.de).

The developper and I figured out, that the problem was vnc (in my case ultr@VNC).

When I opened a remote-connection while the program was running, i got this error, when i tried to open the menu.

A simple "reinstall" of vnc helped in my case.

hope this information is useful.
