    Whenever I try to watch Vine videos on https://vine.co, my Surface RT crashes and I have to do a hard shutdown. I can access vine.co just fine on a Windows 8.1 laptop with IE11 as well. Here is a similar issue but with Chrome on Windows 7.

    windows vista - Dragging an application to the second monitor causes it to crash. Why?
  • Wim ten Brink

    I have a kick-ass Vista system, 64-bits version with 12 GB of RAM and lots of disk space. And it has two monitors. And I have a Hauppauge WinTV card combined with their WinTV application, which I can use to watch TV. Since one of the monitors I have also have a TV antenna and sound, I don't really use this TV thingie often so the fact that this application is a bit unstable doesn't really bother me. (It's just useful when I want to record something.)

    But when I start the WinTV application and decide to drag the application from the left to the right monitor, the whole application gets in trouble for some mysterious reason often resulting in a silent crash where it just gets out of memory without a single warning. Not even a Dr. Watson report.

    Well, don't want this fixed or want to use another application for this. But I wonder if this is just a bug in the application or maybe a bug in the videocard or driver. So has anyone else experienced similar problems with a dual-monitor setup and other applications that seem to access the videocard directly or do the same "magic" as WinTV does?

    I have experienced similar issues with VLC, swapping monitors while it's playing causes the image to vanish, but it recovers after a few seconds. I assume it's the recovering part WinTV is struggling with ;)

    Can you get it to stop displaying the video?

    It's almost certainly a bug in the playback application. Applications that render video need to be specially aware of multi-monitor configurations due to some limitations of the 3d rendering hardware, it's likely the playback application isn't handling this configuration properly.

    It could be either a bug in the graphics driver or the TV viewing program.

    I would advise you upgrade both to the newest, but it really isn't possible for us to tell you.

    The only other thing I can really say is to look in the event log and see if you can pull out any "faulting application" messages and look at the "faulting module" to see what caused the problem.

    Things you can try:

    1. Try to set your second monitor to primary and vice versa.
    2. When moving the player to the other monitor, first press STOP, then move, then PLAY.
    3. Make sure both monitors are configured the same with(without) hardware acceleration:

    I don't think this is application specific or rather not the application you are trying to use. It maybe specific to the language it was written in though. I have two apps that do this when I use them;

    • SmartBear's SoapUI (a web services testing tool)
    • Tyto Software's Sahi testing automation tool

    The event viewer reports:

    The program java.exe version 7.0.210.11 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel. Process ID: 1da8

    The above happens every time I move I attempt to move either of the following from one monitor to the other. Leave them on the one they open and they are fine.
