Post Brought down Windows... Reply with quote
I wish I could describe this better but here goes...

This was off of a fresh reboot, I fired up Query Analyzer, and connected to my local database.

I typed in "USE " and expected the prompt to come up for the database list. Instead Query Analyzer became unresponsive, as did Windows Explorer. I tried to bring up task manager via CTRL+SHIFT+ESC but it did't work so I tried CTRL+ALT+DELETE. That worked and I chose "Start Task Manager". Task Manager didn't start and my entire screen was black, with only the mouse cursor being displayed. I tried the same steps a couple of times, until finally CTRL+ALT+DELETE stopped working, at which point I had no choice but to perform a hard reboot.

I am sorry to hear this. I assume it occurred on a Vista system? Somebody else also reported this problem recently and it also occurred on Vista.

Hello,

I'm experiencing exactelly the same issues (windows vista, v2.5.12..).
As explained ChisRickard, everything becomes unresponsive and no way to bring up task manager (screen goes black). I tried waiting for a while (20 min) but nothing changed.
It happens often enough to be very anoying.

I'm considering buying a software like SQL Assist for my company but this issue is too critical.
Can you tell me if you plan to fix this in a near future?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

We are happy to fix this IMMEDIATELLY if we can somehow reproduce the issue or gather sufficient information from a user system and understand what is causing it. We suspect that it is caused by some software conflict. Please work with us a help us find the cause of the problem. We will be happy to reward anyone with a free license who could shed some light on the root case of this!

Please stay tuned, we are going to post some questions for you that can help to find the cause.

Thanks, SysOp

Ok that's great!

Other infos i can give you right now:

-software running asside SQL Assistance (auto launch): Ad muncher, MSN 8.1, Snag It, NOD 32 v2.7, Daemon Tools v4.09HE
-Always using SQL Assistance with SQL Management Studio + VS Studio 2005.
-When i suspend it, the problem doesn't seems to occur
-Also i got used to immediately suspend it just after a reboot because it happened to freeze my system just after a reboot too (SQL Management Studio not running)

Do you have Just-In-Time debugger enabled in VS? Can you post the output of tasklist command?

cmd /C tasklist /V > processes.txt
cmd /C tasklist /SVC > services.txt

Hi everybody,

We've developed special version of SQL Assistant to help with troubleshooting Vista lockups issues. Please help us identify the problem on your systems so we can fix it for you. Here is what we are asking to do.

1. Shutdown SQL Assistant if it is running on your Vista machine.
2. Backup C:\Program Files\SQL Assistant folder to some other folder on your disk.
3. Download http://www.softtreetech.com/sqlassist/builds/2.5.16_preview.zip and unzip it into the folder mentioned above
4. Open command line and navigate to C:\Program Files\SQL Assistant folder. Start SQL Assistant using the following command
sqlassist.exe "/SA:TraceLogLevel:9"
5. Do what is necessary to reproduce the locking keyboard/mouse issue
6. Restart the system and after restart either post the contents of email C:\Program Files\SQL Assistant\data\sqlassist.log file or email it to support.

Your help with resolving this issue is greatly appreciated.

The log file can be found in the Data subfolder. Please email to support account (see SQL Assistant's About page in the options) and I will send you a license key to use for the testing.
