Users of one of our VO programs sometimes encounter a "APPCRASH" error. The application log shows a "Faulting module path: C:WindowsSYSTEM32ntdll.dll". This clients starts the exe from a directory on C: while the server's DBF files are on F:, a construction of their system supplier.

Does anyone know how this specific error can occur?

Hi Dick,
I have seen such crashes when there was a Windows Update waiting for a reboot.

Hello Wolfgang,

That is quite interesting remark, thanks.. The server doesn't auto update but is sometimes mentioning in yellow on logging in as RD administrator, or with a screen wide message, that updates are due. We applied the updates yesterday and from 5 entries in the Application log yesterday from our program we have not had 1 (yet) but there is still one from path: C:WindowsExplorer.EXE.

It's one of those messages where more detail in the error handling (in this case of Windows) would have been very helpful.

Hi Dick
on some operating systems we had the same errors. E.g. using a standard open file dialog.
The solultion was to disable DEP (Data Execution Prevention).

Hello Markus,

Thanks for your remark; I've passed this on to the company who maintains the server.
