Running 3.20a (c02f2513f) on Windows 10 32-bit.
For the last week I've gotten several appcrashes whenever sbbsctrl.exe starts up.
Faulting application name: sbbsctrl.exe, version: 3.20.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Faulting module name: gdi32full.dll, version: 10.0.19041.2604, time stamp: 0x2b5302d5
Exception code: 0xc0000090
Fault offset: 0x0003f8e5
Faulting process id: 0x1f80
Faulting application start time: 0x01d952d887c053d6
Faulting application path: C:\sbbs\exec\sbbsctrl.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\gdi32full.dll
Report Id: 74424471-cef3-489d-ac6d-ab7ca4b0be51
Faulting package full name: (blank)
Faulting package-relative application ID: (blank)
It first happened this past Sunday evening after I stopped and restarted the Mail service, and I couldn't get sbbsctrl.exe to start at all until I re-installed Synchronet from scratch and copied the data to the new install. Today it started happening again (the one pasted above is from today) after a reboot of the PC. Every appcrash message lists the faulting module as gdi32full.dll.
I don't want to have to go through a whole install again, so at the moment I'm just using sbbs.exe to run the BBS in place of sbbsctrl.exe. Nice to have as a backup option, but I miss sbbsctrl.exe :)
Happy to provide more detail if I can.
Try deleting or renaming the Windows registry key that contains the sbbsctrl settings: http://wiki.synchro.net/monitor:sbbsctrl#settings and see if that helps.
I certainly can't think of any recent changes that would cause GDI-related crashes and I haven't seen them myself or heard any other reports of them. --

Ok, I renamed the "Synchronet Control Panel" entry to "Synchronet Control Panel - OLD" and reran sbbsctrl.exe. A new blank entry for Control Panel showed up in the registry, but unfortunately I get the same outcome as before.
I tried setting some Autostart properties to false in ctrl/sbbs.ini today, specifically Mail and BBS. With those not starting on their own, sbbsctrl.exe does not immediately crash. But if I manually start up either the Mail or Termainal Server by hitting either one's play button, then sbbsctrl.exe crashes with the message in the event viewer.

Starting to wonder if it's a red herring. Just for the heck of it, I made sure Windows was up to date. The Intel driver did need an update, but since updating it hasn't made a difference for this issue I'm having.
