Disj usage graph missing - logs attached

[DebbieGibson]

Sub,

From my earlier post, I wiped out my 97.09 install and reinstalled Windows and installed 97.13.

I am now working thru at few minor issues.

First off, the graph from the system menu is missing. There is info about it in the log (attached)

And, so that I can get you the info you need, how would I troubleshoot a crash when I exit GBPVR?

Can I post the output that MS creates to submit a crash?

Thanks!

There has always been a couple of people with this error. I have no idea why. Its not very common though.

Is there something different about your recordings drive? network drive or USB maybe?

ok.... its no biggie, what about the crashing when I exit gbpvr.exe? What can I post so you can see whats happening?

This is from the event log:

EventType clr20r3, P1 gbpvr.exe, P2 1.0.2379.26398, P3 f, P4 mscorlib, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4333ab80, P7 1323, P8 13, P9 system.applicationexception, P10 NIL.

Thanks again

zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

Do you have the 'direct access to hauppauge remote' setting enabled?

here you go...

and yes, that is on. I never really knew what that option was for, but I always checked it.

thanks

If you turn the option off, I suspect you'll no longer get this crash. This setting was only for PVR250/350 owners, and is incompatible with other cards.

yep, turning it off stopped the error, however I do have 2 pvr250's. anyway, im happy.

thanks you sir.

Its not required if you're running the Hauppauge remote software. In fact, it may cause problems if you're running the Hauppauge remote software - which is why I expect you're having problems even though you have PVR250s.

Sub,

Dont know if this helps but after I installed a few plugins (namely: xrecord, weather, rss reader) the disk space graph is working now.

Woot!

Cheers
