Windows XP SP2 BUG
I have an application made by MFC. Recently i have discovered a bug when i am
using Win Xp SP2. When i click file-open in my application, the open file dialog appears. When i hover my mouse over a file to select it, sometimes the whole application gets shut down. It seems to happen when i try to open files from the desktop only. Why is this happening?. |

Hold on before calling it a bug. Two things to try real quick and report
back the results... Reboot into safemode and test the problem. Try logging into a different user account and again test the problem. -- http://www.americantechie.com "James_dean" wrote in message ...

This has happened on many different machines with different user accounts.
Haven't tried the safe mode thing yet but i will. It seeems strange that it this does not occur on any other operating system except windows xp SP2......without SP2 it does not seem to occur. It is rather strange to me so thats why its difficult to find the real cause. I have looked and cannot seem to find a similar problem anywhere else.......what do you think?

Contact the makers of the application for help with their product. This may be a known issue and they may have a workaround and/or a patch.

Then it is up to you to make your software work with the operating system. You should probably post in a newsgroup for developers or look on MSDN for a support contact.
