 Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 6:57 pm Post subject: AHK + Vista = BSOD |
 |
|
Whenever I try to run any AHK (1.0.46.07) script in Vista Ultimate; windows crashes and I get the BSOD (blue screen of death).
Here is the mini dump analysis:
| Code: | *******************************************************************************
* *
* Bugcheck Analysis *
* *
*******************************************************************************
KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 9ae4fd66, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: 9ae4fcf0, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000
Debugging Details:
------------------
EXCEPTION_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000005 - The instruction at 0x%08lx referenced memory at 0x%08lx. The memory could not be %s.
FAULTING_IP:

I don't think AutoHotkey and other "normal" software is capable of directly producing a BSOD. So perhaps there is some kind of software or driver conflict on your system. Or maybe the OS isn't installed properly, or you have faulty hardware (such as bad memory). You might also check your system for viruses and malware.
On the other hand, maybe Vista generates BSOD's in lieu of the familiar crashdump screens. If so, it could be that your AutoHotkey.exe is corrupted or the scripts you're running have a problem in them (especially improper uses of DllCall). |

Well, Firefox 2.0 was causing the BSOD too. I upgraded to Firefox 3.0a2 which resolves the problem. There is some other incompatible software that also causes the BSOD so to say this problem isnt directly related to AHK considering the dump specifically states that the problem was caused by PROCESS_NAME: AutoHotKey.exe seems incorrect. Maybe there is a software conflict or driver conflict which has not been diagnosed yet; however, I will say that all of my drivers have been updated to their most recent versions which have been tested in Vista.

The OS is installed properly. There were no installation errors. There are also no hardware failures except my audio card which is irrelevant. There are no viruses/malware. This is a new install directly out of the Windows Vista Ultimate box. I highly doubt MS is shipping viruses. Either way, I've done full system scans with Bitdefender and there is nothing.

I think this is a possibility. AutoHotkey.exe should not be corrupted, I just installed the most recent version downloaded directly from your site. I will try a 2nd install but I'm skeptical. Also, none of the AHK scripts I've tested use direct DllCalls; I've coded all of the scripts I am using...
Not even a simple msgbox script will load. Once it executes in AHK I receive the BSOD with the above dump.

PS. I hope you continue to work with me in determining this problem and I will also work with you to help determine if it is a direct result of AHK and how to fix it for a future release.
===============
UPDATE: Ok, I solved the problem. It was ProcessGuard which was causing the BSOD when using certain applications. I uninstalled PG and AHK works as expected. Thanks for your help and sorry for being rather straight forward. Your help definitely helped me resolve this issue!
Best regards,

PS. The post above is me, could you please remove my personal name and add APerfect10 instead. Thanks! |

| Thanks for the follow-up. Although I couldn't reassign your previous post to you, I've merged it into your post above in case you ever want to edit it. |

Is anyone else having a similar problem. It seems like a worrying one.  |
