VLan ActiveX causes the PC to reboot

[jstuardo]

Hello,

I have installed last VLC Media Player with ActiveX. I created a Winforms application using C# and I placed the ActiveX into the Form. I can play videos but when the application is closed, PC reboots.

I added the Form Closing event and in that, stopped the playlist, in case it is still playing. I tried calling Dispose method of the ActiveX control but PC is still rebooting.

Maybe is a synchronism issue, because if I place a breakpoint in Form Closing event, and execute the last lines of code step by step, no reboot occurs.

Can you help me to solve this? do I have to place a delay in Form Closing event?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Jaime

You can try to stop and sleep a little in your close event handler.

One year ago, my windows machine was badly rebooting too when closing a VB application with a playing ActiveX in it. But as you may already know, it is not possible that VLC is the cause of such hard reboot (it have not enough privileges). You should try to update you drivers for example which seems to not cope with something/whatever event they received.

shure, but its a usercontrol on the form -> this has no close event
