Hi

A new framework 3.5 Winform db app that works fine on two pcs, crashes on
one particular pc at start-up. The app has application framework enabled
and I have assigned a splash form and a main form. The splash form appears
for around 20 second but then app crashes with message "<app name> has
encountered a problem and need top close..." and wants to send a report to
MS. I have trapped the MyApplication_UnhandledException but it does not get
triggered as far as I can tell.

Older framework 1.1/vs2003 apps work fine on this pc. The only obvious
difference I can see between this problematic pc and others is that this one
has firefox installed in addition to IE while other pcs only have IE as
browser.

I have reinstalled fw 3.5 and sp but no luck. What can I do form here to
figure out this problem?

Many Thanks

Regards

Since it is a db app, can you access the database from outside of your
application on the troubled pc? A 20 second splash screen sounds like a
long time. Maybe the db timeout occurs and isn't handled gracefully.
Its hard to guess without knowing what your startup routines do.
