I have a really wierd one that I was hoping someone might be able to
help me with.
My applicated has about 25 databases and runs as a Windows Service.
All has been fine using 4.6.18 but the other day somebody tried to
boot Windows with the /3GB switch.
When Windows was restarted Windows would start to boot then crash in a
repetitive loop. The /3GB switch was removed but the only way Windows
could be restarted was in last good config mode.
In last know config mode windows and my application started fine until
the next reboot when Windows would crash on reboot again (until last
known good config was selected again).
When my application was disabled Windows would start OK.
Then the application was moved to a fresh Win2003 64Bit system. With
an empty database all was find, but when the database from the other
machine was coppied over the same problem would occur with Windows
cra****ng on boot. Even on this new machine with a clean install of my
application the application would only start in last good config mode.
So I thought it must have been something with the environment so I
deleted it and let the application recreate it. But the same problem
occured. In the end I used db_dump and db_load to reload each of the
25 databases and the problem went away.
So why would my application work on 2 seperate machines in last know
good config mode but otherwise crash windows on boot?
And why in the end did a reload fix the problem?
