Crash Bug under Windows 7

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Windows 7 RC 1 Build 7100
2. Spark IV 0.6.2
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.6.2 Windows 7 RC1 Build 7100

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm working on a .NET GTAIV soundboard, and have a stripped down version of
GTAIV, that contains just the 'Rockstar Games/Grand Theft Auto
IV/pc/audio/sfx' structure, plus the GTAIV.exe. Browsing the audio and
playing through results in random crashes, with or without 'Auto Play on
Select' checked, but this setup works just fine under XP. I can browse and
play sound files for hours on XP. The GTAIV.exe is unmodified, and original.

My girlfriend Kassie has customised this app for me, she's working on a
fix, but it does it on your stock version too. XP with your version is
fine, too.

I just re-tried it in the VS2008 IDE under Windows 7, and the problem seems to 
be
RageLib.

Here's my Debug log:

I hope this will help solve it, we're still working this end to find a fix.

Might be fixed with the newest version. I think the issue is that the audio dll 
doesn't have time to catch up with what SparkIV is feeding it causing SparkIV 
to crash. I've put in a thread delay which should pause SparkIV for a couple of 
milliseconds before feeding new data. If this doesn't help then it should at 
least catch the error without crashing.

Aah, GamerzWorld! I see you do a lot of work here! Nice one! It's been there 
too long. I knew it was the RageLib, just couldn't get breakpoints to show in 
the IDE when debugging, the whole lot just crashes.

I'll test it later, and report back. Thanks again!

Aru has disappeared, I don't know what happened to him. I've been in charge of 
keeping SparkIV up-to-date with the latest IV patches. Since I'm not much of a 
coder, I sadly can't do the big changes that SparkIV needs. Aru has mentioned 
to me that he'd work on SparkIV when he got some time but that was at the 
beginning of the year.

Well, I'm OK with .NET, and have studied SparkIV for quite a while, so if you 
need another developer, let me know. I'm working on making an installer version 
of SparkIV as well as the zipped version, which will make things easier for 
newbies not sure of zip and things.

The crash is still occurring under Windows 7... It just bombs out like it used 
to. I haven't tried it in the VS IDE yet though.

It doesn't even catch the error without crashing? Have you tried running in XP 
compat mode? Are you running x64 or x86? Sorry for all the questions but I 
still haven't been able to duplicate the bug.

No, just the "SparkIV has stopped working" error. I'm running x86, but it did 
do the same when I was also running x64 a while back. Windows has all the 
latest updates and frameworks. Compatibility I haven't tried this time round, I 
think I did when I originally reported it.

Can you show me where in the code you've narrowed it down, and I'll give you a 
hand trying to stop the bug? Email me a list of TODO if you can, to "tidosho at 
gmail dot com", and I'll give you a hand easing the workload. SparkIV is too 
good a program to let it die.
