Has anyone encountered a strange error in VC6, in which suddenly code starts crashing when accessing comctl32. For me it crashes in debug mode as soon as the menu in an app is mouse-overed. Everything seems fine until this seemingly random point in time.

I used to see this happen all the time when developing under Windows 95 and later 98. I've never seen it happen under 2000/XP (all I've developed under for a while now). It never seemed to be related to errors in my code, and it never happened when running my app standalone--ONLY when running under the debugger. I could never correlate it with anything in particular. It would happen frequently for a while, then I wouldn't see it for weeks, sometimes months. Very odd.

Also, it did a lot more than screw up the app I was running, mousing over icons on the Windows Taskbar caused it to crash, and any tooltip anywhere in the system (or other apps, including DevStudio) would make it crash. The only solution was to reboot.

So I can't really offer an explanation, or a solution. But it sounds like it might be the same thing. My ultimate solution was to never use the abomination that is 9x/ME again Smile | :)
