Here’s a similar-sounding report concerning XP, with no follow-up by anyone.
My case: on a Vista machine that I’ve had for about 2 weeks, CFP has crashed on me 3 times when I’ve been switching between user accounts. Which is to say, it doesn’t happen always, but it happens often enough to be a concern.
The attached screen grab of the error message (translating roughly from Japanese) says:
“The 0x76fabb6 command referenced/accessed memory of 0x00000fb4. Memory could not be written to. Please click OK to terminate the program.”
In this particular case, I was switching between a standard (limited) account to an admin account. The other two times it happened, I can’t remember what accounts I was switching between.
System info:
Core 2 Duo E6750 (32 bit)
Vista Ultimate - Japanese
In addition to CFP 3.0.24.368, I’m also running NOD32 v.3.
Symptoms: see above. I can’t reproduce it reliably.
n/a
Defense+ and Firewall+ modes: Safe Mode and Clean PC mode.
n/a
See above. Normally, I run in a standard (limited) account. UAC is enabled.
Other than these 3 crashes, CFP has been working great for me on Vista.
How long have you been using CPF3?
I believe that CPF3 is effective while with Admin rights, Could you try using CPF3 for a couple of days as an Admin so that you can allow\deny the programs you wish, as I don’t think they are saved in Limited users. Then try going about your business as usual on a limited user account.
Oh!! And I saw that your using Nod32 V3.*
Nod32 sends all internet traffic through ekrn.exe so it acts as a tunnel… I suggest that you switch to v2.7(It is just as effective)
Update: just had another CFP crash, this time when logging out of the admin account and switching back into a limited account. Same exact error message as the one I posted above. Forgot to mention that I’m running CFP3 in Basic firewall mode with anti-leak protection (not the full-fledged Defense+).
Hi Kyle. Been using CFP for about 2 weeks on this computer, and on an XP machine since… whenever it was that CFP3 was first released. I’ll try running as admin if I do have any problems with CFP not remembering my programs, but so far there doesn’t seem to be any need. Thanks for the pointer on NOD32!
Happened again, this time when switching from one standard (limited) account to another. (Still logged into both accounts.) The error message is the same as what I posted above, except that the first memory address is 0x7712abb6.
The odd thing is that just prior to getting this error, I had switched between those same two accounts 3 or 4 times without incident.
