BgInfo : issues with 4.23

Subject: issues with 4.23
Posted: 02 January 2018 at 5:00pm



This is a good news / bad news post.

The 64bit BGInfo is able to properly use .bgi files from v4.21 and is also able to run .vbs scripts without issue. It works fine. This is the good news.

The bad news is that the 32bit version 4.24 did not work for me. It is unable to open my .bgi file I use with the 32bit v4.21. The .bgi file in question includes some WMI queries and runs some .vbs scripts. I get the usual 2 errors:

1. Application Error: The instruction at 0x00000000 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be written. Click OK to terminate the program.
2. Wallpaper text configurator has stopped working. Problem details:
Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name: BEX
  Application Name: Bginfo.exe
  Application Version: 4.24.0.0
  Application Timestamp: 5a482304
  Fault Module Name: StackHash_ac05
  Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
  Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000
  Exception Offset: PCH_42_FROM_ntdll+0x0003D77C
  Exception Code: c0000005
  Exception Data: 00000008
  OS Version: 6.3.9600.2.0.0.272.7
  Locale ID: 1033
  Additional Information 1: ac05
  Additional Information 2: ac0507478d1c5bd693cfc4fe3987e900
  Additional Information 3: ac05
  Additional Information 4: ac0507478d1c5bd693cfc4fe3987e900

Additionally, I tried running the 32bit 4.24 and just creating a new .bgi file. The first thing I did was add one of my known-working .vbs scripts. I can click Custom fine, I can click New fine, I can point to the .vbs file fine, and I can click OK the first time just fine. However, when I click OK the second time, at the User Defined Fields window to actually save everything, I get the same two errors as listed above.

So, I guess it is possible that importing of older .bgi files works if there are no .vbs scripts defined therein - I did not test this. This is of little help to me because I rely on the information from the .vbs scripts - as long as that function is unavailable, the utility of BGInfo is vastly decreased

Process Monitor : Program runs faster if ProcMon runs. Why?

Is the program multi-threaded? Process Monitor will make the system a little slower and that can affect the timing and lock contention in some apps. You should not see a significant speed increase though.

Any more information about the app and what it does?

Convert inaccessible or corrupt OST files to PST, I would like to refer an excellent third party software, OST to PST converter. The software is also capable to convert multiple files from OST to PST simultaneously. For more information about the software, visit- https://www.convertosttopstfree.org

Hi,

yes, the program has some initialization threads running in the background, therefore I assume that the different thread execution due to ProcMon running may be the explanation for this.  

The app itself is a quite complex ERP system written in C++/MFC with some .Net controls embedded. But the performance gain was measured on opening a new window inside the application, where mainly normal window initialization stuff takes places. But as written above: There is a preloading thread that is started during that initialization. I will investigate that further. Thanks for the hint!

Hallo Andre,

Thanks for your reply.

1)     Error Codes for crash events
What is your source for the texts belonging to the error codes?
I had found a different explanation for 0xC0000006:
0xC0000006 STATUS_IN_PAGE_ERROR The instruction at 0x%08lx referenced memory at 0x%08lx. The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0x%08lx.”
(Quoted from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20335435/how-do-i-fix-inpageerror-crash-in-visual-studio-2010)

2)     Result types for read file operations (seems to be more important to me)
Do you have explanations for results “Network Error” and “Disconnected”
In both cases, if possible, I would like to have a more detailed explanation.

Sincerely

I'm trying to go with bginfo 4.24 64 bit.
I use custom text file to display some information on the screen.
With 4.22 it was working correctly
With 4.24 it seems that something got wrong with character set.
By default my file are displayed in something that seems chinese.
If I open and save back the file in Unicode with notepad the string are somewhat correct (displayed in the correct language) but have some wrong character after the end of the string? 
I've a file with "3.9.3" as it's content and after saving it as unicode it display "3.9.3600.16", another file that as content has "puppet" now display "puppet00.16" when saved in unicode.
When saved in ANSI they display something that seems chinese.

With bginfo 4.22 all was working correctly.

Turns out the antivirus software (Sophos) was blocking the process from running.

Does anyone know if there is a way to copy/paste from the BGinfo popup?

Details:
BGinfo 4.24 with the Taskbar switch. I am not changing the wallpaper, we want a very small footprint. It would be very handy to be able to copy/paste from the popup.

Process Explorer : Troubleshooting Outlook Flashing with PE

Subject: Troubleshooting Outlook Flashing with PE
Posted: 05 January 2018 at 11:56am

Hi, we currently have an issue with Outlook sometimes flashing. We would like to see if we can use PE or one of the other Sysinternal tools to troubleshoot the issue.
The user can be working on a brand new draft email, a draft reply, or reading a received email when Outlook starts flashing. If you then close that email down it stops flashing. You open that email up it starts flashing again. If you close the email down and open another email no flashing. If you close Outlook and then re-open Outlook and then open the email that was causing the flashing previously it does not flash again.
 
There doesn't seem to be one type of email that causes the flashing either. Some have attachments, some don't, some have images in and then some don't etc.
 
I have noticed that when the issue occur Outlook's processor usage spikes between 50% - 80%.
 
I suspect it is an Add-In causing the issue, so I am going through the laborious task of disabled 1 add-in at a time to see when the issue stops occurring for affected users.
 
So, is it possible to see exactly what is causing the issue when it happens? For example, can we get breakdown of the list of DLL's that are hooked into Outlook at the time the issue occurs and see their processor usage or is there a better way to troubleshoot this issue?

As reported with 4.23, and as far back as January 2016 here with 4.21, there appears to be (1) no way to have BgInfo display on my right (secondary) monitor only.  And (2) to preserve both halves of my single "panoramic" or Extended Desktop background.

As reported before by several users, it used to work just fine with W7.

I love this little program but can't use it. :(

I sure would like to have this issue fixed so I really can position BgInfo on any monitor while preserving the background image on all monitors.

Subject: Windows 10 users does not show BGinfo

Hi all
I have a domain setup which i upgraded from Server 2012r2, Windows 7 to Server 2016, Windows 10.

The rest of the setup is as it was before upgrade, but now, my domain users does not show BGInfo, but just Domain admins.

Both in old and new windows versions, my BGinfo was deployed by a GPO, and the Windows explorer is replaced with an home-made application.

In Windows 7 client machines, when a user logged in, no desktop but an application with BGinfo. But when domain admin logged in Desktop and BGinfo.

In Windows 10 client machines, when a user logs in, no desktop, a black background instead of BGinfo and the appliaction runs. But when domain admin logs in Desktop with BGinfo runs fine.

Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Autoruns : Autoruns crashes after adding a user on Win 10 Pro

Subject: Autoruns crashes after adding a user on Win 10 Pro
Posted: 07 January 2018 at 7:41pm

Starting around September / October Autoruns began to crash during the startup scan on a multi-user Win 10 Pro machine I share with others.
Last week I set up a new machine for the same group and Autoruns first ran fine until I added another user. Autoruns (x64, v13.81) then began to crash again during the startup scan.

Consequently I figured out the cause and a workaround so I figured that it might help others if I post this  ‘workaround’ on this forum. So here goes:

I began by using Process Monitor to capture the events caused by Autoruns64.exe
And sure enough the crash occurred when Autoruns tried to access a registry key from another user:

High Resolution Date & Time:  2018-01-07 13:41:10.1969702
Event Class:                  Registry
Operation:                    RegOpenKey
Result:                       SUCCESS
Path:  HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\bam\UserSettings\S-1-5-21-1621454605-3064452732-3136530897-1001
TID:                          9280



So making an educated guess I navigated to the registry key in question:


And changed the access rights for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES
to Full Control
changed to


Which solved the issue.

Hope this will be of use for someone.

Patrick



PS The users on the Win10 Pro machine in question use different interface languages (just in case this is significant).

in October 2017, after Fall Creators Update was installed, PSEXEC stopped working and i haven't been able to make it work ever since then.

it's been three months now since 1709 was released and there has been no update. Is it ever going to be updated?

on my laptop, on a wireless network connection that's set to "private network" firewall mode for the home network, it shows the error message "The network path was not found."

on my desktop, on an ethernet network connection, it shows the error message "The specified network name is no longer available."


October 2017 feedback link with the error message on the laptop:

note: using psexec.exe or psexec64.exe makes no difference below, the same error shows up. All examples below are run from an elevated command prompt.
