rainmeter - issue #62

Rainmeter Crashes When I Unlock my PC


Posted on May 20, 2009 by Massive Elephant

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and choose to lock my computer. 2. Perform the same button combination again and unlock my computer with my username and password. 3. Rainmeter crashes and I have to restart the application.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Rainmeter should continue working. Instead the entire application closes itself and the operating system wants to go out to the Internet to find a solution.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I am using version 0.14.1 (32-bit). My OS is Windows Vista Business SP1 (32-bit)

Please provide any additional information below. If the problem is a related to some config option attaching a example is always a good idea. Try to keep it as simple as possible and make sure that it is a fully working Rainmeter config (i.e. it includes all graphics too).

BTW - I am also using dual monitors. Not sure if that matters but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

Are you using any of the SysInfo functions to get screen resolution or virtual screen resolution? I introduced a bug which is in the 0421 build (most current) that will cause a crash on resolution change when using SysInfo (which I notice when logging in with remote desktop). It's also possible that just unlocking could cause it as well I suppose. It has been fixed in the dev branch, so we're just waiting on a rebuild for it to go out to everybody.

I am having the same problem every time I log on to my XP box.

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Click on my User icon (Home screen in XP with Fast Switching accounts enabled) 2. Rainmeter crashes and I have to restart the application.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Rainmeter should continue working. Instead the entire application closes itself and the operating system wants to go out to the Internet to find a solution.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I am using version 0.14.1 (32-bit). My OS is Windows XP Pro SP3 (32-bit)

Please provide any additional information below. If the problem is a related to some config option attaching a example is always a good idea. Try to keep it as simple as possible and make sure that it is a fully working Rainmeter config (i.e. it includes all graphics too). I am using HUD.Vision theme and only the weather skin. It works fine until the screen saver starts which takes me back to the home screen.

Same problem here, except it only crashes after long periods of being locked. I can lock it, and come back an hour later and it'll be fine. But overnight, it will crash the next morning.
