[Guest]

Tried CMF latest version and getting this error after rebooting:  "Windows Command Processor Has Stopped Working".  It kept popping up several times on the screen.

1.  Processor 64bit
2.  Vista Ultimate X64
3.  CFP 3 and Avast Free Edition
4.  Installed CMF and after reboot the problem started to occur.
5.  Killed the process and had to uninstall to fix the problem

1. 32 bit
2. XP SP2 Hungarian
3. CFP 3's D+, avast! free
4. I installed the new memory firewall, waited a bit before i switch off the computer. It was like 10h just before i switch the pc back. Seems CMF just took the cpu time away, both cvtres.exe instances got somehow the same high cpu usages (random, both below 50%): this is below 100% but definetly something abnormal (they won't drop cpu usage to 00%). I've terminated the processes through taskmanager and just launched the "COMODO Memory Firewall" link from Start Menu but the interface must have some problems at me cause i only saw the four clickable buttons (see attached picture). I got no graphical problems with any other softwares (nor with games), ideas?
5. Part1: I killed the processes from taskmanager to avoid the cpu usage. Awaiting for futher ideas...

cvtres.exe is not a CMF process. It is part of the .net 3.0 installer which microsoft screwed up so it can't install properly unless done manually. It also effects shutdown if it tries to install then it will take forever to power off.

[at]Arkangyal,

Perhaps you should add cvtres.exe to the CMF exclusion list.  I have had to add several items to this list on my system (see my post earlier in this thread).  The main symptom of the need for this is high cpu activity, approaching 100%.  In each case where I have encountered this issue, adding the offending executable to the CMF exclusion list solves the problem.

Wow, thanks for that, i didn't check the file properties -.- Can that display be a framework issue, too?

Windows Vista 32bit. Running alongside Comodo Firewall Pro latest and Symantec AntiVirus 11. Instances of cmd.exe will not close when supposed to. They remain running and eating 100% CPU until closed manually. Rven as much as going to start -> run, typing "cmd" and then "exit" from the command prompt is enough to trigger the glitch. Batch files using the command prompt do the same. However, the command prompt works just fine until it is closed. Adding cmd.exe to the exception list or shuitting down either CMF or CFP3 will not solve the issue. Only uninstalling CMF fixes it.

I'm starting to think its just a UI bug, I got the red light again telling me the driver was not active.  After I rebooted though, it turned green again.

I wonder why 2.0.4.20 is posted in the Beta Corner .

Anyway, this is another 120 DPI issue that affects for CFP 3: All rights are not reserved

CFP 3.0.18.309
32-Bit XP SP2
120 DPI

In addition, CMF also "suffers" from that little red dot at the top left corner of the GUI.

Cant uninstall or reinstall.....guess that would be a very irritating bug for anyone.

Odd did not load gui this morning at boot (time changed today in UK)?
Fine on reboot.

1. cpu 32bit (well, I have a core 2 duo, but it works in 32bit mode)
2. win xp pro, czech version, sp3
3. CFP? (dunno if it counts), boclean
4. running .net application causes 100% cpu load (cvtres.exe and others)
5. don't know of any, excluding seem to work sometimes but not always.
6. no bsods

Ok, I had to remove cmf, because it interfered with thinkpad applications which I use on my laptop. Those thinkpad utilz use quite lot of .net and it hanged quite often.
I even tried reinstalling .net, but it hanged too, so I had to remove cmf in order to install .net 3.5

I have an issue where the CMF tray icon is squashed up in some way...

I can make it look normal if I kill explorer.exe and then reload it, but that is not a good solution...

After I reboot, the icon gets squashed again...

There is a problem with CMF conflicting with Sony Creative Software's Media Manager For Walkman and also Sony Creative Software's Sony Ericsson Media Manager. These programs are exactly the same execpt one transfers media to Sony Ericsson Phones and the other to Sony Walkman's. Anyway it causes a process call CVTRES.EXE to hang on startup of the appilcation. CVTRES.EXE is ran to detect the presence of a phone/walkman, so when it hangs at 100% CPU the application is useless.

When I turn CMF off the applications start fine.

Feel Free to try it and see if the same problem occurs

Hallo antbates1991,

I got similiar issues with some app running CFP + CMF together (with CFP or CMF only there was no high CPU usage issue).
Can you backup your CFP config  and uninstall CFP to test these apps with CMF only?

[SS26]

I had similar case with cvtres.exe (part of .NET Framework in my (any?) case). It was CF v 3.0.21.
If only CF or CMF installed - no issue. But if both installed and active - 100% cpu usage. Workaround was to disable (i. e. rename or delete) guard32.dll (part of CF) or add cvtres.exe to CMF exclusion list.
ps
[some more info can be found on this board under thread "CF-CMF incompatibility"]

[antbates1991]

Yep its just CMF i've uninstalled CIS.

And Media Manager needs .NETFRAMEWORK to run so I presume its a .NETFRAMEWORK issue.

And thanks adding CVTRES.EXE to the exclusion list solves the problem
