Guest Armin Galliker Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 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

Does it crash the computer? Terminate by itself? Lock up? Also: Have you checked the FAQs of the supplier?

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.
