Bug: Unconfirmed Crash On ScreenSaver Properties Dialog

GreatPumpkinator · 10-17-2008, 09:42 AM

When putting the ScreenSaver on my computer for the first time, I did not have MA2.6 installed (just got a new computer, havent had a chance).

When the ScreenSaver started up in the little preview display on the properties dialog, I got a crash message (sorry, forgot to log it). Then, it asked for my registration code, which I entered in. But, I had to Ctrl-Alt-Del the run32dll process (the one hosting the display properties) because the properties dialog completely froze.

Next time I went back to the properties, everything was working normally.

...Wonder if the SS is trying to read some registry settings that are missing, and crashing because of it?

It's possible. I'll look into it.
