EyesOfARaven Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I played StarCraft for a few hours, all worked fine, and I started to notice REALLY wierd graphical glitches afterwards. My guess is that the program is reclaiming GDI/USER resources from explorer since it determines them to not be in use while the game is up, and then they are just magically missing cuz explorer doesn't understand that they're gone or how to put them back.I took quite a few screenshots for you to troubleshoot with:http://rapidshare.de/files/47895770/bitmapfailures.rar.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supem Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 here are my test results 1. Spybot updater (1.62) couldn't work before GDI_HE loosing ~50% GDI resources (WATSON_sb.WLG). With GDI Heap Extender on GDI resources increases about 5-7% and SPYBOT and its updater works loosing 26-34% GDI resources. 2. WINAMP crashes (dibeng.dll) (WATSON_wa.WLG) http://rapidshare.de/files/47898582/watson.7z.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyesOfARaven Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Played a long game of SC again and didn't have any missing bitmap issues in explorer like last time. Don't know. No other problem/issues yet.Networking went wonky for a bit afterwards, but I think it was unrelated. Release/renew and running Opera fixed it. (Yes, running Opera helped - don't ask me why, but FF and IE didn't work after the renew until AFTER I ran Opera)Edit: spoke a bit too soon, the 98 logo is missing from the start menu now like before. I'm going to reboot - documenting the same problem isn't going to help.On the bright side, about 10 hours of uptime with no instability (as long as I stayed away from IE, and I did, lol) Edited July 20, 2009 by EyesOfARaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triger49 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Yo Tihiy,Just wanted to encourage you on this project......I have been toying with this for awhile now.I am noticing reduction in resource usage in programs that are normally real resource hogs....depending on what else is running, I have one program that simultaneously opens about 20 jet databases and It can range from 2% to 5% more available resources....I really did not expect this.Thanks for all your hard work ....

sparky4 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) the program process explorer from system internals tends to use up the rescources each time you minimize and maximizeand some times, it uses up the resources completely....alpha 1 did not helpalthough Opera runs much better!keep up the good work!

Tihiy Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Okay, i've fixed crashing issues. Next alpha would be combined with RP9 (since it's not possible to hijack APIs once KernelEx is started, and asking you to disable both RP9 and kex is too much hassle).The only thing that bothers me - no reports from DBCS 9x systems ITT.

eidenk Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Graphic trash-up occurs regularly in Opera when running the expander. Usually affects the content of one tab only, or the content of one tab and the toolbar graphics. I am sure you are aware of it but in case you aren't give a whistle and I'll pass you some screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slhk Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The only thing that bothers me - no reports from DBCS 9x systems ITT.Confirm Alpha 1 loaded in Simplified and Traditional Chinese Win98SE (with KernelEX 4.0 Final). Opera resource usage was improved. There were crashes with IE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidenk Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I am sure you are aware of it It happens when other app exits or all by itself?Haha, interesting question. All by itself I would say but I may have closed apps before it happens. I'll try to browse the web without closing any app and will tell you if it still does occur in those conditions. Screenie in the meantime :Generally I can get rid of toolbar graphics corruption by switching briefly to another skin but I can't get rid of tab content corruption even if I close the tab and reopen the same website, only closing and reopening Opera clears it all up.

eidenk Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 It does not seem to happen if I do not open/close apps while it is running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
