Re: BSOD after calling StretchBlt from application running on Windows 7, 64-bit (x64)

Hello,
I am getting a Blue Screen of death when running my application on Windows 7, 64-bit (x64). After debugging, I learned that the program sometimes crashes upon calling StretchBlt (member of CDC class). Something I saw on the blue screen:
win32k.sys
Dumping Physical Memory
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

When running the application without any other applications open, everything is fine. The application crashes only when certain other applications are open.

I used WinDbg and got the following:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except,
it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it
is pointing at freed memory.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffff900c4000020, memory referenced.
Arg2: 0000000000000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
Arg3: fffff960000f7e06, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory
address.
Arg4: 0000000000000002, (reserved)

I tried:
kd>!pool fffff900c4000020

I got this:
The pool page you have specified is not in this dump.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I found an answer here. Everything seems to work well with Windows 7.

Solution 1

Where did you get the device context from?
Does it work on other OSs like XP?

I'm getting the device context using CreateDC and I'm using CPrintDialog. Here is some code I use:

CDC dc;
CPrintDialog pd(false, 0 | 1048576 | 4);
DOCINFO di;
int nSize = sizeof(DOCINFO);

::ZeroMemory(&di, nSize);
di.cbSize = nSize;
di.lpszDocName = _T("");
pd.m_pd.Flags &= ~PD_SHOWHELP;
if (pd.DoModal() == IDCANCEL)
return;
DEVMODE *dm = pd.GetDevMode();
dc.CreateDC(pd.GetDriverName(), pd.GetDeviceName(), pd.GetPortName(), dm);
dc.StartDoc(&di);
:
:
dc.StretchBlt(...); //StrectchBlt has 10 parameters
:
:
dc.EndDoc();

Yes, it does work on XP and Vista. I'm wondering if this problem has something to do with Windows 7 being a 64 bit operating system.

Solution 3

Are you sure you're using CreateDC correctly? The first parameter should be a string with either DISPLAY or WINSPOOL.

CreateDC(_T("DISPLAY"), NULL, NULL, NULL)

Have a look at the link below for more info.

Good luck!

I am passing "winspool" (all lowercase) to the first parameter.

Solution 4

Hi,

I am also getting a BSOD after the call StretchBlt when using CPrintDialog.
This happens only on Windows 7 32-bit, but not on XP and Vista too.
Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks.
