crashing with violation in module ntdll.dll

[dietmar]

Hi,

since a fresh install of Win7 (64 Bit), my FreeCommander crashes regularly, sometimes after some file action, sometimes even after hours of idle without having anything done with it.

I did a clean re-install, and a "sfc scannow". All is ok...

Any hints?

Thx,
Dietmar

@dietmar: could you try the portable version and see if the problem persists?

[dietmar]

Hi,

thanks Karol, but as I said, "sfc scannow" is ok.
I must admit that I did not test the RAM yet, but I don't think it is a hardware problem since the hardware didn't change and the problem occurs now after a fresh installation...

I will test the portable version and let you know!

Thx,
Dietmar

[dietmar]

Hi,

using the portable version did not help much... It crashes not that many times but always several times during some hours... annoying. I really liked FC and got used to it for years now, but I fear that I will have to take a look at other file managers

The main difference is, that the portable FC mostly crashes without any debug output - it just hangs ("application not answering and needs to be closed") or even has to be killed manually.

I only managed by luck to get one debug output, which looks quite similar to the one I posted above...

Sorry to hear that! I understand your feelings, but you also have to understand that this is not easy to fix if it can't be replicated by others.
Just one more question: do you have Service Pack 1 installed for your Windows 7 (in other words, is your win7 to date)?

[dietmar]

Yes, it has SP1 and has all MS updates applied...

Since it is the only program that crashes regularly and so often, and since it started after a fresh reinstall of Win7, I don't assume a hardware (e.g. RAM) error here.

Ok, since it seems to be not resolvable, I will sadly turn around and try other file managers
