Dexpot 1,6,14 build 2439

Windows 7 64-bit SP1

Not sure what triggers it, but the checkbox under Settings to enable MouseEvents gets unchecked?

The plugin works for a while, then I notice the hotkeys no longer function. Checking settings confirms that it is not enabled.

May be related to wake from Sleep?

Does it happen consistently after waking from sleep? If not, can you try to pin it down further? Any error/crash messages concerning MouseEvents? Anything in the Windows Event Viewer?

I'm having the same problem, also on Win7 x64 and the same Dexpot build. It's been going on since I installed Dexpot 3 days ago. It's not related to Sleep for me (which is not even enabled on my system). Just a few minutes ago it crashed while I browsing around with Chrome. The previous crash was while the system was mostly idle (just torrenting) in the middle of the night. I haven't been able to pin down any common cause yet. There have been about a half-dozen instances of this happening so far.

The error message I get each time is the standard Windows "Dexpot MouseEvents plugin has stopped working."

Things I always have running in the background:

WindowBlinds (Echo skin)
Rainmeter (Bar Code Clock skin, nothing else)
Filezilla FTP Server (service) and Filezilla Server Interface
FreeDNS Update
Google Drive
qBittorrent
Razer Synapse

Thanks. I'll check back regularly, so if there's any further information, I'd be happy to provide it.

And:

BitDefender Free
Ventrilo Server service

Forgot to mention those in my list of possibly-maybe-relevant(?) running programs.

Quick update - I am still experiencing this issue. It is not related to the resume from sleep.

Unfortunately, I have not discovered a pattern that leads to pinning down further the cause for it being disabled. I will try to collect some logs, but don't recall seeing any related entries in the Windows Event Viewer. Nor a crash dialog from dexpot...

Could you please create a crash dump for MouseEvents when the message appears?

Forgot to sign that last post, but it's me again with that crash dump.

Could you disable BitDefender for a while and see if the problem still occurs?

I'll give it a shot and let you know.

I think we may have a winner. No issues in the past day with BitDefender turned off. That's a pity, I rather liked the simplicity of BD. Oh well, time to find a new AV solution...

Thanks for your help, Patrick. I appreciate you taking the time to look into it.

No error dialogs or notifications of a crash pop-up on screen. I notice there is a problem when the hotkeys stop working.

I attached the dexpot log file. Seems to be an entry at the bottom that may be of interest?

"12:26:40> Plugin unclean completed: Mouse Events"

There is also an Application Error in the Windows Event Viewer.

Scratch that. I spoke too soon. I guess I just got lucky, and it managed to not crash for a 24 hour period. It just happened with BD completely uninstalled. Here's a new crash dump from that incident.

Crash Dump

This is still crashing multiple times per day and I have not figured out what triggers it.

I have not noticed any conflicts, pop-up errors, or other programs behaving abnormally.

What information can I provide to find the root cause?

I am pleased to report that since 1/16, this plugin has not crashed and the MouseEvents seem to be working fine!

I have no explanation for the root cause, but suspect there must have been a conflict with something else that was updated.

After checking the installed programs around that date, there is nothing that jumps out.
