StrokeIt Win7 64-bit "Process Stopped Working"

I'm using the retail final version of Win7 Pro 64-bit. Sometimes (a few times a day), when I'm using gestures, I will get a message that the program has stopped working. Then, I cannot click on anything (not even the button to close StrokeIt on the dialog). All I can do is Ctrl-Alt-Delete. When I start task manager, it starts but is frozen and I cannot end the strokeit or explorer process. When I hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete again, I can hit the Log-off button, and my Windows session will log off, and I can log back in with everything responding again. This is a burden as it can cause me to lose work.

I've been using StrokeIt personal for many years, and hope to continue using it in the future.

Thanks,
M

Hi, Manick,

Thanks for the feedback. I think you should try the .9.7 beta posted in the General forum. It's quite stable and I've fixed a number of bugs due to the crash reports that testers have sent in.

If the beta is still crashing for you, send me any crash reports in the %APPDATA%\TCB Networks\StrokeIt\CrashRpt folder. My email address is in the about box.

Thanks jeff, that seems to have fixed the problem.

In addition, I've noticed that for some programs, such as WinSCP and ConTeXT, when I use the "Minimize" gesture (down and to the left), the applications will not minimize to the task bar. Rather, they will minimize to a small window right above the Start button that has the mini icon, the name of the program, and the restore, maximize, and close buttons.

For your reference, WinSCP is pinned to my task bar, but ConTeXT is not. This doesn't happen for other applications like Firefox, Trillian, Windows Media Player, Notepad, PuTTY, etc.

This is inconvenient because I need to click the Restore or Maximize button in order to restore the program. Previously, I would be able to click on the button in the task bar to re-maximize the application. Also for your reference, I'm using the Windows Classic theme with Windows 7. I'm not a fan of Aero.

Thank you.

Yea, the freezing issue just happened to me the other day, too. I thought it was just a one time thing but I guess this means that it was a general bug.
