Micro Code Studio Crashing

[timmers]

Grrr. MCS keeps crashing. Any suggestions where to start looking?

Bloody frustrating is what is.
You're not the first and likely not the last but David Barker (author of MCS) claims he's never seen it and can't reproduce it so he can't do anything about it.

I've brought it up more than once but have yet to nail down a repeatable procedure to repeat it - it feels completely random. I can code for hours without it crashing, then the next day it crashes 5 times in an hour and it's impossible to put the finger on what is that triggers the crash. There are threads here and over at Melabs....

Please do tell Melabs and/or Mechanique, if more people reports problems maby, just maby they'll actually look into it. So, if anyone else experiences this please do post.

I have to say, normally MCS is stable and I rarely get problems, but this job I'm on is currently compiling at 52k bytes and growing.
I may have to re-visit Norm's Fineline if it persists.

...crashed again.
Thats it I am going to look at Fineline again.

Done a bit of googling and came across this on a microsoft webs site

The StackHash error occurs when DEP is invoked and has an issue with whatever application you’re trying to run (and there are several hundred out there that seem to give it fits). The error is related to Data Execution Prevention.



We will narrow down on the issue, by booting the computer in clean boot. To boot the computer in clean boot refer the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

If the issue does not persist after booting in clean boot state, then continue with the troubleshooting to check which application or software is causing the explorer to crash, you may continue with step 2 from the above link.

Make sure you reset the computer to normal mode from step 7 after completing with troubleshooting.



After finding which application is causing the problem, you may follow the below steps:



1 Open the Start menu and click Control Panel
2 Browse to System Maintenance then System
3 In the left panel, select Advanced System Settings from the available links
4 You should now see the System Properties Window, which will have three sections. The top section is labeled Performance and has a Settings button. Click this button.
5 Select the Data Execution Prevention tab.
6 Select the option which reads Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.
7 Use the Browse button to locate the executable file for the application you were trying to start when you received the StackHash error, and click Open to add it to your exceptions list.
8 Click Apply or OK to commit your changes.

Can't say it will fix the issue. But there are lots of hits, and it's not limited to MSC... any application, including those from Micrsoft can suffer a stackhash error

I agree, Fineline looks increasingly tempting to switch over to. The only function I miss, and that makes me reluctant to switch, is the ICD.

Any chances of that being incorporated in the future?
