Viewer crashes on first connect to seldom-used server

Post by Andrew Henry »

Here's an odd one:

I have a PC that I connect to very infrequently - Windows 7 32-bit, running UVNC 1.0.9.5.

The first time that I connect to it, I'll get a viewer crash after the login and maybe 1/2 second of grey screen. If I wait a minute and connect again, everything works fine (until I connect again a week later). The server PC is pretty fast and isn't set to sleep or anything. No video hook or system hook is enabled on the server.

This happened on 1.0.9.* viewers, and now on 1.1.8.8 (x64), always using Windows 7 64-bit. Here's the event log entry:

Faulting application name: vncviewer.exe, version: 1.1.8.8, time stamp: 0x51571bfa
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17725, time stamp: 0x4ec4aa8e
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x000000000005386a
Faulting process id: 0x1b18
Faulting application start time: 0x01ce3bb01753d630
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\uvnc bvba\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
