  • Hi,

    I'm assuming this is the same problem as you had earlier. I'm at a bit of a loss to explain it.

    I've not seen a similar error raised on another machine.

    Are you using the default windows screen dpi/font size?

    Have you been having odd issues with any other software on this machine?

    VSMS 2008 occasionaly dies with a blue screen of death but that's not only my problem - my colleague on a Lenovo T61p provokes the exact same BSOD editing a table's data directly.

    I used a freebie SQL product, RSScripter, and had the Font.Initialize error there - the author declined to change the product as it, too, was an rare incident. It's uninstalled.

    The machine is under a year old, running standard XP Pro up to SP3, with MS VS and SQL Server 2008 products loaded. I have no idea how to tell you if I have "default windows screen dpi/font size" settings - if you know how to detect and potentially reset them to defaults, please let me know - I'll be happy to be "standard"...

    If you search my catalogue of postings, I think you'll find this happened with an old version of SQL Compare or SQL Data Compare on my OLD ThinkPad R60p.

    I know that Bart looked at it and there was a fix put into those products such that I've never seen the issue since on any machine. Perhaps a glance at those fixes would help... Support Issue 20060504200001 refers to an arithmetic overflow during Font.Initialize. The current problem is in Dundas' control but as you ask about standard font/dpi settings, which was the underlying issue with the referenced SI, there may be some help there.

    I'll be glad to give you any more information.

  • Hi,

    I'm afraid this is something I'm going to have to chase up with a 3rd party component provider. The error is occurring in their code, so I am very limited in what I can do.

    The culprit is a long-used free version of a commercial product - Super Screen Capture. It appears to mess with the font size when snagging a user-dragged shape, but forgets to reset...

    I went into the display properties ==> appearance, and XP recognizes that when I select "Normal" for the font DPI, the "Apply" button activates... If I apply, then restart SQL Response, all is well... If I don't do the apply and restart SQL Response, it bombs on any Alert.

    Needless to say, Super Screen Capture has been "terminated with extreme prejudice"... :x

    CASE CLOSED! :D
