DTLite Gadget crashes sidebar.exe

[Nodens]

Reporting that this fix also worked for me, running the Pro Advanced's gadget (Though they're prolly the same).

Go to News(RSS) in DT Gadget and uncheck 'Auto update' checkbox.

Thank you! Our devs do their best to fix this issue.

Disabling autoupdate seems to stop the crashes. At least the gadget didn't crash sidebar.exe for 48 hours now.

Please try to disable 'Auto update' option for RSS in gadget.

Here it comes: a few minutes ago I turned on the display and windows reported the crash of sidebar.exe. This time the only gadget running was the DTLite one. I've started procdump to work on hung applications and gonna mail the mini dump.

OK, before we start checking all combinations of gadgets I removed all but the DTLite gadget and will report if it still crashes sidebar.exe.

Edit (wrong tense, may lead to confusion): ... I've removed all ...

It might take some time before a crash occurs...

Thank you for info.. we are investigating this issue

Please keep in mind that there was no problem like this with the previous release of DTLite.

a self made digital clock

Could you post this gadget for testing?

[Ender080]

no sleep mode, no hibernation, no screen saver - display is switched off after 30min of inactivity, system runs 24/7, desktop background is a slideshow

Gadgets: the weather forecast from Microsoft, a self made digital clock and a bunch of gadgets from Orbmu2k (volume, network and cpu usage, top5 for memory and processor and the gpu observer on an ATI 4850)

2all: Do you use sleep mode or hibernate? Any specific gadgets besides DT gadget? Any peculiar screensaver?

I can confirm that I have the same exact error on Win7 x64 all of the time. It never fails to happen & it started with the current version as the OP described.

Try to use ProcDump utility to get a dump.
