Windows occasionally stop redrawing

We have a LabVIEW exe that consists of multiple windows, each with a bunch of numeric indicators that regularly (typically ~1Hz) update. The application is typically run for 8+ hours at a time. Occasionally (and seemingly randomly) we see one or more of the windows just stop updating. The problem is almost certainly not a coding thing, as each window is basically just a while loop with a timeout and some values going to the indicators. And there is no evidence of any blocking calls or thread contention. Further, the problem is resolved simply by minimizing and restoring the window.
We run on Windows 7 Enterprise. My first thought was that the problem might be related to the Aero effects and Desktop Windows Manger (DWM). I actually tried disabling the DWM Session Manager service on all the workstations, but we have still seen the problem (although it *might* have reduced frequency somewhat...the jury is still out on that one, as the change was implemented pretty recently).
Because the minimize/restore trick seems to work, I am inclined to believe the issue is at the OS or video card level. Like, the OS is trying to reduce redraw overhead by skipping some windows that it thinks aren't being viewed.
So, my questions are:
Has anyone else seen this problem before?
Does anyone have any ideas of what the root cause might be, and/or what other steps we might take to mitigate the problem?

I like this post. It's like saying "This is a known issue with cars that have radial tires. A workaround that may be useful is to put bias ply tires on your car."
LOL I figure that NI is making this a top priority, but since it's very difficult to convey urgency in text, it sounds like NI is completely disaffected.

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
My question is at the end.
Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves 95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting, etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand. (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
13. Bingo! That install works.
14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
   before
     lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
   after
     lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
(that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
Save the file.
18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version, not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
And finally my
** QUESTION **
Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this, but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my limitied java skill set, to make this decision.
Thanks in advance!!
Byron

Hi Byron,
Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
#java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
Add new line like so and save jvm.config:
java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre
Note there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.
Start CF via SERVICES.msc.
HTH, Carl.

64 bit Win 7, Itunes 10.5. Can open Itunes and play music, try to open store and it says "Windowa has stopped working" and closes both Windows and Itunes?? Worked beofre I updated to Itunes 10.5 Tried so many things!! HELP!

Have Windows 7, 64 bit. Updated ITunes to 10.5 and now I cant open store? I can play music but when trying to open store, or anything else, I get :

Error message: Host process for windows services stopped

I recently had to install a new hard drive into my laptop. I am running windows vista and have installed all updated drivers. After installing itunes and uploading my backed up library, I went to play a song and I got the error "host process for windows services stopped working and was closed." Movies play fine. I have searched but have not found anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Q I just upgraded to a new mobo and CPU, the EVGA X58 SLi and i7 920, and this issue still persists! That means it is either the sound card or Steam. The drivers on the CD have no issues, only the newer ones do. So by deduction there is something wrong with the new drivers, but I need them to not BSOD in OpenAL!

A135-S4527 Host Process for Windows Services stopped...

I have started getting a Windows error: Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed. Laptop runs fine except my network connection says Connection Status: Unknown The service to detect this status is turned off and McAfee stopped working. Can't run any of the MS tools either. I am suspicous of conficker e but don't know how to detect or remove it. Have seen the b variant on an XP machine at work, but the tools we used on it don't work on Vista.
I am running Vista Home Edition (came on Laptop) upgraded to SP1 with auto-updates on. McAfee was also set for auto-updates and nightly full scans, active e-mail and internet scanning. No recent software downloads except for updates.
Have been having the issue since about April 28. Tried to restore but no dates exist past May 5. Tried the F8 Startup recovery no problems found. Have tried restarting services but they quickly stop again. Uninstalled McAfee and tried AVG. It allowed defintion updates and I scanned all files. No viruses, trojans or malware detected.
Any suggestions? I have a tasklstserv file I can copy and paste if it will help.

That's a bad-sector event. At a command prompt (cmd.exe), run chkdsk /r.
Event ID 7 Source Disk
But it doesn't seem likely that's the cause of the message. When you get another one, note the time and check the Application and System logs for entries at that exact time.
Thanks for the detailed information.

SAPCCM4X.03 Windows Service stops after 3 sec.

Hi!
I would like to set up the SAPCCM4X agent on the satellite system.
The installation with the commando >sapccm4x -R pf=... endes without any errors.
The problem is that the appropriate SAPCCM4X.03 Windows Service stops after 3 sec.
The output on the CMD console is:
INFO: trying to register service SAPCCM4X.03 at Windows Service Control Manager
starttype of service:             manual/[auto] :
DomainName\UserName or [<LocalSystem account>] :

INFO: Updated config file E:\usr\sap\SC3\DVEBMGS03\log\sapccm4x\csmconf.

How can I solve this problem?
Thank you

Hello Jürgen,
WARNING: Service SAPCCM4X.03 already stopped. But agent is running!
you could try to clean up the part of the shared memory used by the agent:
sapccm4x pf=<instance profile> -initshm
Maybe the agent starts afterwards.

Microsoft RemoteFX Graphics Device - WDDM - Windows has stopped this device becuse it has reported problems (code 43)

I have a workstation with following configurations:

Windows explorer stopped working in a VDI environtment for a specific user only

Hi we have a VDI environment with a link clone image for all users. Only one user(admin1) login to the virtual desktop got this error, ....windows explorer stop working and requires restart it. it is the same issue after restart it, change a PC, change another
VDI client version,always same issue. Tried other users with these pc and client and has no issue at all. All use the same pool,same snapshot and same image. Windows 7 32bit OS. also tried to delete the profile folder and let it recreate it , it's redirected
to a file server. the folder can be seen created,but empty inside. other user profile all ok. this user admin1 is a domain administrator. It's property in AD shows an extra "delegation" tab and all else look the same as other account. Since other
users ok, I believe it's not VDI issue, should be this windows user profile issue. any advice please?Thanks
Thanks and best regards, -- KF

Hi,
Please first take a try to run SFC /Scannow command under the user account;
Further, we may take a try to fix the user profile through the steps mentioned in the below article:
