Eg crashes, Win log says due to VistaVolEvents.pyd

[Luca Brasi]

Hi,

I have got a problem.
I installed latest EG 0.4.1.1572 on my whs2011. it is a headless box without any audio device. I assume because of that VistaVolEvents.pyd crashes eg from time to time (I have no macros configured with any audio events or actions) . See attached error log from windows.

So I took the VistaVolEvents.pyd out of the plugins/system folder and had a look at what would happen.

Eg gave me this:

Code: Select all

23:32:04   Traceback (most recent call last) (1572):
23:32:04     File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\ActionThread.py", line 33, in StartSession
23:32:04       pluginInfo.instance.__start__()
23:32:04     File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\System\__init__.py", line 261, in __start__
23:32:04       import VistaVolEvents as vistaVolumeDll
23:32:04   ImportError: No module named VistaVolEvents

But despite the error EG worked fine for days. Now I tried to add a WOl-Command and EG wouldn't execute it. Error was something like "plugin system is not activated".
When I put VistaVolEvents.pyd back to its place everything worked fine with the WOL but soon it crashed again because of VistaVolEvents.pyd.

Is there any way of disabling VistaVolEvents properly? Or anything else I could do?

Thnaks in advance
Luca

hi again,

after posting I did another search run and discovered a similar report viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3915&p=22182&hilit= ... nts#p22182

I can confirm that the crash happens when you log on to your machine via rdp.
Have no clue why. My rdp config is set to use no audio...
I went back to .1544 and the crashes disappeared.
