Windows Crash
Hi
I'm copying PostgreSQL discussion group in case the following problem
involves their efforts.
I am running Postgresql 8.3 with Postgis latest version and PGAdmin 1.8.2 on
Windows XP.
I imported a shapefile using conversion and upload and it installed with no
problem.
When I viewed the table through PGAdmin and scrolled, Windows crashed with a
message that the graphics driver had an error.
I downloaded and installed the latest graphics driver and tried to view the
table again.
This time I used the Select * option and the table opened normally, but when
I attempted to scroll, Windows again crashed.
This time I got the blue screen with the error message
"Page_Fault_In_NonPaged_Area.
I restarted and again used Select * all and was able to read the table. Very
slow scrolling allowed me to read a few rows, some of which had distorted
views of the information in the geometriy column.
Would anyone have any thoughts - other than to buy new hardware??

MS's web site has a good summary at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/w2000Msgs/60
93.mspx?mfr=true . Their bottom line: " Faulty hardware, a buggy system
service, antivirus software, and a corrupted NTFS volume can all generate this
type of error."
If you haven't installed anything else recently or changed any other drivers
(and you've tried the same w/your AV turned off), I'd strongly suspect a
hardware error. Run a CHKDSK to check the system drive volume and a RAM test to
rule out bad RAM (bad RAM would be the first thing I'd check).

Hallo Bob,
I also use pgDmin on XP with postGIS and imported Shape-Files, but without problems.
As far as I know pgadmin uses gtk, and there are some google-hits for searchvalues "pgadmin" and "gtk" reporting hardware-crashes on windows and linux Systems.
Perhaps the same problem?

No, it most certainly doesn't.
