Vshost - Singing The Windows 7 64-bit Blues?
Nov 8, 2010
Last week my nearly seven year old computer CROAKED. My data is fine, but the machine just quit.I have a new 64-bit Windows 7 computer as I was forced away from my old friend XP and left no real option. I'm not sure that that's related to this problem or not, but I suspect that it is.
I re-installed Visual Studio 2008 and set about to make sure things worked or figure out what didn't and try to get them resolved. I'm up against a very basic issue here that I have no idea about though (please keep in mind that I'm so new to this whole Win 7 thing that I'm not sure if it's a security issue or what, and if it is, I haven't a clue how to do anything with it).
I set up a very basic little test program, added an Access database (one table) using the connection wizard. I've done that thousands of times on my old machine and never had the first problem with it.
I added it to the form in a DataGridView and go to run it and Win 7 pops up several things about "vshost had a problem". It shows no data in the grid even though I know there's data in the table.
Here's a curious part: I thought that I'd get it to tell me how many rows it's "seeing" after the table adapter fills it, so in the form's load event just after the fill, I declare a integer to tell me the row count. I put a break point there and it never GETS to that second line!

I am running a simple test app that opens an OLEDB connection, retrieves a single value, then closes. The compiled (console) app works fine, but running it from the IDE causes either a silent close (if it's a winforms app) or a crash of vshost32.exe if it's a console app.
The devenv is VB 2010 Express on Windows x64, but I have the configuration manager on the solution set to "Debug" - "x86".
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim server As String = "xxxxx"

The application is like a client for a game site. I made it for the fan site i am apart of to help the members of our community.The application crashes when you click play on the game at the site. The game site uses Java all games are made in Java so i am guessing its a conflict with the Java, if you can help me it would be great i will attach a copy of the application for you to look at if you need.The password for the application is "cr2pafut" user name is anything you want it to be.url...

This code seems to be accurate when comparing to the many examples that are similar on different forums and I would think it should work:
Dim pC As New Process
pC.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
pC.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True[code]....
When I remove the pC.BeginOutputReadLine() command, the application continues to function, but nothing is added to lbOutput.
With the pC.BeginOutputReadLine() command, it gives the error "vshost.exe has stopped working"
Either way, my batch file does what its supposed to do. Any one have any ideas what I am doing wrong with the process?

I have a program that runs fine in the debugger. I started on the project in x86 mode this January and I've always been able to run it outside of the debugger, but this is the first time I've seen this error.The error says "ConfigurationErrorException was unhandled: Configuration system failed to initialize."The InnerException of the error said that the error was in the user.config file, and it gave me the directory of the user.config file that it was using. So I clicked synchronize in the project settings thinking that it would overwrite the current user.config file and that would probably fix the error. When it showed the confirmation dialog that it would delete the user.config file, I noticed that it had "vshost" in the directory.

I am unable to debug any projects as of a Windows Update 2 days ago. It not only caused problems with VS 2008 but also SQL Server 2008. I did a system restore and my SQL Server is back to normal, but VS 2008 will not debug any projects. I get a vshost.exe has stopped working and then a file exception error. I am copying the file exception msg:System.IO.FileNotFoundException was unhandled
Message="Could not load file or assembly 'sortkey.nlp' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

I have tried repairing VS 2008 and also a SFC scanow from the cmd prompt. I have also tried unchecking the vshosting property. Nothing works

I am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?

I have a .net Windows Service developed in VB.net. I have a settings file in the root directory called Connections.XML and I am setting the basedirectory [code]...
When I schedule the service this is working absolutely fine in my Windows XP machine. But when I installed the same service in our development server (Windows 2003 64 bit Server) for some reason it is not able to locate this file.

I have embedded the WMP control in my Visual Studio 2010 app which works on windows 7 (Framework 4.0), but installing the app on winXP, I get the following error:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.WMPLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'Interop.WMPLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog].
I guess this is a reference issue, but I have added references to WMP libraries (axinterop.wmplib.dll and interop.wmplib.dll). The WMP works on the XP machine, but not when called from my application.I have searched the web now for 5 days and changed references, and reinstalled the media player on the XP machine, but nothing works.

I'm attempting to use waveOutSetVolume from coredll.dll to gradually increase the audio volume from silent (or near silent) to maximum.
Most of the code examples I'm finding show some predefined set points for Off, Low, Normal, Medium, High, and Very High like this:
Public Enum Volumes As Integer
OFF = 0
LOW = 858993459
[Code]....
OK, and here's some API documentation which doesn't make a lot of sense to me in this particular context. What is low-order word and high-order word and how can they both exist in a single value?
· dwVolume New volume setting. The low-order word contains the left-channel volume setting, and the high-order word contains the right-channel setting. A value of 0xFFFF represents full volume, and a value of 0x0000 is silence. If a device does not support both left and right volume control, the low-order word of dwVolume specifies the volume level, and the high-order word is ignored.
