Re: vserial7.sys BSOD

Steve,

It's a third party DLL that gets installed by APCC (like a C++ DLL from
Microsoft, or the .NetFramework).

I don't have the source code for it nor am I setup for system level
debugging on my computer so I can't help you with debugging a low
system-level Windows BSOD. Probably the only support you can get for a BSOD
is from Eltima, whose engineers will likely want you to give them the
windows dump file. The BSOD could be caused by many things, including having
used 3rd-party registry and system cleaners in the past, or some other DLL
that is interfering. I believe that only Eltima engineers would be able to
identify the driver's crash point with what line of code in their driver
caused it.

Ray,

I'm a little confused. Is vserial7 a driver that is installed with APCC?
See

And shouldn't it be updated via Windows update if it's listed under
Windows
drivers?

Thanks,

Steve

Chris/Steve,

I would not go to the Solvusoft web site or use their products. Norton
blocked the site as dangerous when I tried to go to it. AVG confirms:

http://www.avgthreatlabs.com/us-en/website-safety-reports/domain/solvusoft.c
om

Also, a little research shows that there have been some weird licensing
issues reported by some users (e.g. licenses expiring prematurely, etc.)

This might help with Eltima driver BSOD's:

Steve,

Contact Eltima support (http://www.eltima.com/). They are the vendor of
that
driver.

Seems lately if I connect TheSkyX to my mount using a virtual serial
port
in APCC I
end up with a Blue Screen Of Death with a message that vserial7.sys
was
the cause
and a long string of numbers and letters. Using Everything to search
my
system and
APCC shows up as the only program using this file. It's happened a
number
of times
and I can't swear it hasn't when TheSkyX wasn't connected. The last
two
times
TheSkyX was definitely connected. This doesn't seem to be an immediate
issue after
connecting but rather sometime afterward. I can't say the telescope
was
doing
anything at the time of failure as it is likely running s ome imaging
tasks
through ACP.
I can go out and restart the computer and reconnect everything without
issue. Not
sure where to go from here. Suggestions welcomed.



Steve
