smartie stop working after a while....

Post by junior_1967 »

Hi All,

I'm running latest Smartie (5.4.1) to power a CrystalFontz 635.
When I have the crystal.dll loaded, Smartie will stop functionning after about 14 hrs. A window pops up with a "Smartie appear to be frozen...." etc....
If I stop and restart Smartie, the crystal.dll will generate an error saying that a resource is unavailable. I have to reboot the comp to be successful.

I can run the prog with no display dll for a long time without crash.
(Leading me to believe that it is the driver for the 635 that is the culprit).
Any thought?
Machine specs:
C2D e6600 @ 3.4ghz
4 gigs PC-6400
eVGA 680i M/B (Nvidia chipset...)
2x 74g WD Raptor
1x 250g WD 7200
WinXP SP2

Cheers,

It could be that there is a memory leak or something. Can you check the memory used by LCD Smartie periodically to see if it's rising to very large values (like dozens of MB) after several hours?

Also check for dlls used and enabled RSS feeds. Sometimes the problem is caused by an external source.
