Continued crashes with 2.5beta and 2.6

[rgoodwin]

It crashes randomly (it seems) over and over. Attached is my pdncrash.log and I'll be happy to do whatever necessary to assist in troubleshooting!

THanks!

You either have software that is installing global hooks, or spyware/malware (which is probably installing global hooks). An example of some software that we know to conflict with Paint.NET is called AllChars.

The reason I know this is that you are getting "overflow errors." We turn this off, but oftentimes the software I mentioned above is poorly written and turns these back on but then doesn't restore it back to off.

[rgoodwin]

Great info...

I have a fair amount of apps on my system, so any ideas on how to dig in to find these hooks? Are they hooking video functions? Kboard? Some items I have:

Windows One Care

Symantec Client Security

Daemon Tools

sometimes Screenshot Captor

Symantec AntiVirus

Microsoft AntiSpyware

Some of them can't be removed (IT policy!), but I'd be glad to tear into anything else i can find. With all of the protection I have, I'm going to hope that there is no spy/malware

I'm richardtgoodwin on YahooIM if you want to try to troubleshoot that way as well.

Thanks for such a quick response!

[Rick Brewster]

My guess would be screenshot capture.

These global hooks usually monitor keyboard or mouse input for various purposes. Sometimes for quite useful purposes (screenshots), sometimes for malicious purposes (sniffing passwords).

[mouser]

Greetings,

I'm the developer of Screenshot Captor.

I sincerely doubt Screenshot Captor has anything to do with this - lots of people including myself are using it with paint.net and other programs without issues.

[Rick Brewster]

Ok, that's good to know.

It was just the only thing in the list that looked likely to be installing global hooks.
