Program fails

Hi

 

On my PC with WinXP Embedded for Point of Sale is a problem with an

application. It fails every couple of days without a trace neither in the

EventLog nor in a logfile (as far as i know). Now I'm looking for a tool or

another possibility to figure out my problem...

 

Thanks in advance

You need to supply more details - "it fails" does not tell us

a great deal. Does it crash the computer? Terminate by itself?

Lock up?

 

Also: Have you checked the FAQs of the supplier?

Sorry, my fault. The program terminats by itself. The program was written by

myself and works without any problems on other computers. The difference is

that the other PC's are running on W2K. Unfortunately it's not possible to

run the program with a debugger. WinXP isn't affected by the problem. At the

moment the workaround is just to restart the process... Even though the

program doesn't need a lot of memory, the computer is brand-new (3GHz,

Pentium 4, 2GB-RAM).

If you wrote the program by yourself then you should be able

to insert some diagnostic code that reports exactly how far

the program gets and why it bombs out at that stage. Perhaps

you're dealing with an unitialised variable that just happens to

assume a fatal value on this particular PC.
