Crash after Hibernation
 

I also have a problem with Vista (32bit) and hibernation: After hibernation, Beta2 is crashed.

Maybe the details can help debugging (sorry, German only):

Thanks for the crash report and details.

Crash after Hibernation
 

I'm also running Vista, and on my system MA is often crashed when the machine is coming back from hibernation/suspend mode.

Is that working okay for you?

Can you give us any further information? When you say crashed, what exactly do you mean? Is there a message "MA3Beta.scr needed to close blah blah"? If so, can you post the Details next time?

Yes, it says "Windows had to close MA3" or somesuch.

It doesn't happen every time, and I cannot reproduce it tonight, but it did happen with Beta7j.

I've reported the problem with a detailed crash report some time ago (see https://www.feldoncentral.com/forums...097#post106097) -- somehow it got lost in that thread.

My system is configured for suspend mode, I think, not hibernation (the quick startup without the progress bar).

I haven't seen other screen savers crash after resume (e.g. MA2).

I've merged the 2 threads. Hopefully this will help to track down the problem. I know in that other thread, Jim said that the Aquarium had nothing to do with hibernation.

I thought that applications get a message just before hibernation and then a message just after hibernation. Perhaps the Aquarium could respond better to this situation?

And do what?

Er, I dunno. ;)

Hibernation is supposed to save the state of all applications and then restore them when the app comes back.

Frankly, I don't see it as a high priority bug, but the original poster may disagree. When you bring your PC out of hibernation, I figure you are wanting to get to work. So the error message looks bad, but there was no real expectation that the screen saver was going to start running again.

Maybe take that out-of-hibernation message from Windows and gracefully exit rather than trying to resume execution? Unfortunately hibernation is rather buggy on desktop PCs. It works best on laptops which I am guessing you do not have one to test.

OK, I'll look into what kind of message it sends, and try to exit. It can get messy with passwords and all that.
