Access Violation

[Andy]

Hi, I had a problem on the older HFS 2.0 beta4 and I still have it with the new version 2.1 (now worse).

Let me explain.

I leave the application running and it works great. The problem is for me when I open the MenuOptions button on the server, it send out a popup saying:

"Access violation at address 0046D578 in module 'hfs.exe'. Read of address 00000004" (I can only press OK).

The fact is that with v2.0beta4 this pannel just told me something similar and allowed me to continue normally selecting options and setting things, etc etc.   With v2.1 it just doesn't open anymore, I can't change/view any options; the service is fine though.
I have tried stopping and starting (not closing and reloading the programme) again with no change.
This by the way doesn't happen straight away, at startup it is fine.  After some activity (some days) it ... give that violation message.

It would be nice to know what's going on.

If you need I can turn on more logging, just tell me what you need to debug.


Regards,

Andy

I have just discovered something else on the problem.

If I use ALT the Menu finally opens and I can change settings. Apparently it does it only when I try to do it via the mouse.
 

Anyway, looks like I've found a quick workaround for this problem.

I'm still curious to understand if it something due to the programme or something else.

Please advise on settable debugs or parameters.


Regards,

Andy

when you tell "MenuOptions", you mean "Menu", i guess. if not, specify.

If it doesn't open with no error message, it will be impossible for me to find the bug.
The address specified in the message may be useful, but only if you are using the last version (currently 2.1a - build #061). So, please, ensure you are using the last version, then report the message.
