App Crash on exit

[Tw4T]

Hi, I am having a problem with the latest versions of NBpro (50B6/50B7) crashing on exit. I have just done a fresh install of Windows 7 x64 and installed Newsbin a fresh as well. I have it registered and all the settings as I have had them from since I can remember. My initial install of B6 kept crashing when I exited the program so I tried a fresh Install of Windows again and installed B7 hoping that the problem would go away. Here are the TWO crash reports I get when I exit the program : -

Windows has now set "Compatibility Settings" to NBpro but I do not want these as it should just work as is. Can you tell from the event log above what the problem is and how to overcome it? I have NEVER had any problems with betas before so I am thinking it maybe a Windows Update that is breaking it ?? Any help would be much appreciated. For now I am going to go back to the last stable version (642). Thanks in advance.

Using a non - English language pack? That could cause this until new ones get compiled for the release. Wasn't aware windows ever pushed compatibility settings on a program, thought that was a user setting, try to get that back to normal. Ensure you've disabled any antivirus or similar nanny applications just to rule them out. Try installing a fresh version and don't use your old configuration, do a little downloading, then quit, see if it still happens. That isolates or eliminates your config from the equation.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have just Installed Win7 x64 with all the current updates; English UK. NOTHING else has been installed apart from Newsbin B7. I have entered my product key to register and only changed the download path in the settings; apart from setting up Giganews server of course. I get an error of incorrect password when I try a Group download or an NZB import and then, bang, it crashes as soon as I hit either the red X or File>Quit. Windows instantly says it has applied "Compatibility settings" and the only way to change these is to go into group policy. So, a Vanilla install ; 3 times, and the same results each time (B5,6,7). I am now going to reinstall afresh again and try the last stable build (642). I am a tad disappointed as I like to keep up to date but alas it looks like I am stuck with 642 for the time being Image link not allowed for unregistered users Many thanks again for reading this far

Wonder if it's still trying to connect?

[Tw4T]

I'm not sure, it crashes just opening it up and then closing it, without any server access required Image link not allowed for unregistered users

Doesn't happen here so, I wonder if you have corrupt DB3 files in the data folder?

[DThor]

You inferred you tried a completely vanilla setup, using none of your old config or files, assuming you did that... Hmmm yeah, a weird one. I'm still stuck on the strange way windows is behaving, enforcing a compatibility. That suggests a fundamental issue with the binary that was installed.

Apologies if I missed it, but did you try installing the last non-beta release(after completely uninstalling newsbin), fire it up once, then upgrade to the latest beta? It shouldn't matter, but maybe it does...
