Re: Re: Visual Studio 2008

I don't remember the problem with pumpmessages, but the other one with the
usb crashes was a bug which I fixed (although a silly one).

The problem you're having sounds like overwritten memory (just a guess).
Some function overwrites a buffer which is supposed to hold something else
and messes it up. The problem is to find where and under what conditions
this happens and why only on win7.
