Title: Weird crash
Post by: Soulmech on June 03, 2009, 05:51:20 PM
Every time I open TThrottle, it crashes immediately. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, and there's no change. I also tried both the stable and the beta versions, and both of them exhibited the same behavior. I don't know what to do at this point.

Ok start regedit (start->Run and type regedit ENTER) and if the program asks for  a password (in vista) login as the user that uses TThrottle.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->eFMer->TThrottle and please write down the settings.
Tell me what OS are you using 32/64 XP/Vista/Win7.
Go to the installation directory of TThrottle and start Installdriver and choose remove.
Delete the entire directory of TThrottle and  start the installation again.
Lets see what that does.

I've already uninstalled it/reinstalled it previously (including deleting the directory after uninstallation) with no success. It's currently uninstalled.

Ok another thing is might be go to Configuration screen -> Programs and look for the installed program Microsoft visual C++ 2005 Redistributable.
That part is tricky because it may be used by other programs.
Remove (deinstall) Microsoft visual C++ 2005 Redistributable and install TThrottle again.
In the registry delete the complete TThrottle tree.
Tell me when does it crash ... seconds after startup. Any message?

It would crash in maybe 2-3 seconds after opening and give a "this program has stopped working" window.

But, that fix worked. It's running now.

EDIT: Now the program crashes every time I try to set Auto-Active, even though there's a value set for Core Temp.

Try removing the folding at home programs from the program list in the first program tab.

Is the BOINC tab visible? And if so what projects do you see.
Set the CPU and GPU  temp to 100C. Wait for the Use CPU and GPU go to 100%.
Then select active.

A lot... ;D

Can you send me a copy of C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects ?  (Vista location).
So I can do a real time check what is causing this crash.

I know it's a lot, but I just don't feel like trimming any of them down. Plus, some computers I run BOINC on can't handle large projects, like aqua/cpdn/qmc that I would still like to run anyway.

How do you want me to send this to you? Do you want me to put it all in a large ZIP file? How will I transfer it to you>

B#O#I#N#C#&#efmer.eu Leave out the # and & = @
A zip or rar file will work ok. And as much as you provider will allow you.

Gmail only allows 25 MB apparently, and that won't do for a ~550MB file. I'm going to email you a link to the file.

Got it, found the problem (a typo) and fixed it in the new release 1.60 that is now on-line.
Thanks for pointing this one out to me. ;D
