GdiPP only hooks onto new apps when both gdipp_svc_* services and both gdipp_hook_*.exe executables are running all at once.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.
-gdipp_hook_32.exe
-gdipp_hook_64.exe
-gdipp_svc_32.exe
-gdipp_svc_64.exe

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install GDIPP as a service (which does not hook all the apps after the 
installation)
2. Run both hook executables.
3. GdiPP works (but ONLY with the above steps).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Normal operation.

What version of gdipp (including renderer)? On which operating system?
Renderer id #10, V0.8.2, Windows 7 x64.

Please provide any additional information below. Screenshots always help.

The hook programs will not work without the services running.
The services will not hook onto new apps if the hook executables arnt running.

Another thing is that installing the application to run from the 'registry' 
means that you have to run both gdipp_hook_32.exe and gdipp_hook_64.exe (which 
do not stay loaded unlike with the services) in order to enable hooking of all 
applications.

This way works best for me for now as no gdipp processes are needed for hooking 
to work which is obviously better then having to run 4 processes (2 gdipp 
services and the 2 gdipp hook apps).

Are you are the folder containing gdipp is in the PATH environmental variable?

I seem to have the same problem.

When installed as windows service, gdipp hooks nothing, even if the services 
are started. The problem remains after restart.

When installed as register trick, gdipp works fine.

Also, when in register mode, gdipp_pre_64/32.exe and gdipp_demo_64/32.exe 
starts with C++ runtime error :  CRT not initialized.

This problem is resolved in 0.9.0. The service now works properly.

gdipp does not seem to change anything on my Windows 7 x64 system. I installed 
it as a service. Services are running. Everything is rendered the exact same 
way as when the gdipp services aren't started.

Using gdipp 0.90.

I should add that the hook executables seems to be launched for about half a 
second then stop, several times per minute.

Exactly the same behaviour for me on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Both services 
start, the hook exe's start then stop immediately.  No font smoothing.  If I 
launch the hooks as Admin, they stay running and I get GDIPP font smoothing.

gdipp 0.90 is not working correctly as a service under win7 x64 for me too...
0.76 does work.

Try 0.9.1 when released.
