Re: Prevent Window Popup

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Gave it shot on my machine "Vista Business" using the code as a test

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace CreateException
{
.. class Program
.. {
.. static void Main( string[] args )
.. {
.. MessageBox.Show( "Some text", "Error Caption",
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Hand );
.. throw new ApplicationException( "This is just a test" );
.. }
.. }
}

With ErrorMode=2 and then with NoInteractiveServices=1, this produce no
noticable results.
Both the popup and error message was still seen. May be a "Vista" thing
though.

I will try it on a server once I get a virtual up and running.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I just got involved in a production issue and believe that there is a
popup window that is preventing the system from running until someone
presses "OK".

The only indication that I have at this point is a screen shot of an
event log that shows
Source: Application Popup
Category: None
Type: Information
Event ID: 26
User: N/A

No other information is available.

I thought that there was a way with Dr. Watson to prevent any and all
popups from displaying on a server that expects no UI. Can anyone
point me in the right direction to prevent the popups from occuring?

Thanks,
Dave
