Crystal reports viewer print dialog crash - vb.net

I have created a vs2010 win app that uses Crystal-reports 13.0 sp22
The app is deployed on a work-group of 5 computers
There is a printer connected to the network visible from all PCs
All PCs can print to the printer except one
This one can print from all programs eg notepad, PDF but not from my app
The user clicks on the viewers button to print, the print dialog shows up
but when print is clicked or layout tab is clicked the app crashes
Checking the event viewer I get two application errors:
Number 1:
Application: InsuranceAgent.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

This Happens only in this PC all others are ok and all the same win10 OS
Any help will be deeply appreciated
Thank you all in advance

​After all the problem was solved
​I cannot explain why but only how !!!!!
I changed the regional settings ( the format tab )​ to English United States
​Any other setting does not work eg. English United Kingdom
​The funny thing is that on the network all other computers they have regional settings Greek and the application is working fine
​
​Would be great to have an explanation but at least at last it is working ...
All the best

In Windows 7, a process started with CreateProcessAsUser by a windows service with a local system account crashes

In Windows 7, a process started with CreateProcessAsUser by a windows service with a local system account crashes, but the same process started manually runs fine. The CreateProcessAsUser functionality is in a separate COM component [64 bit C++ dll], and the windows service [dot net 4.6.1] has platform target [Any CPU]. The process does not write anything to the event log either, suggesting that no code is executed, and it crashes immediately. This code works perfectly in windows 10.
I tried to attach to the process but it ends too soon to do anything. I do get a message "Module not found" , suggesting that it doesnt find a library. But I cant figure out which one. I gave it all the libraries it needs, which can be seen by the fact that the program runs ok when started manually from the same folder. I also tried to specify the startup folder in the function CreateProcessAsUser, but there was no difference, but I think it starts in the correct folder by default [where it is located]
I found the following link on SO
Why is this process crashing as soon as it is launched?
But it did not help either. ProcMon does not show where a module was not found [It says PATH NOT FOUND if I remove a known module]
The process exit status is -1066598274
and the stack trace is
0 ntoskrnl.exe RtlNtStatusToDosError + 0x1086 0xfffff8000712f206 C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

Error while running diskspd

I am running diskspd.exe tool which you can download from:
Diskspd Utility: A Robust Storage Testing Tool (superseding SQLIO)
https://github.com/Microsoft/diskspd
Operating system: Windows 2016 standard
I first get this:

After 15 seconds I get this:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
At the same time I get following pop up window:

This is what I can see in my windows log.

I needed to provide the file size switch and a value. Then it ran fine. From the document it was not clear that it was a mandatory parameter.

IE 10 crashes when script is loaded, unless a delay is introduced

I recently learned that the app I'm working on frequently crashes Internet Explorer 10 - no error messages, just Windows' "The application stopped working". Looking at the Event Viewer shows what I gather is a null reference in mshtml.dll:
Faulting application name: iexplore.exe, version: 10.0.9200.17267, time stamp: 0x54e7f156
Faulting module name: MSHTML.dll, version: 10.0.9200.17267, time stamp: 0x54e803bf
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x004f9b17
Faulting process id: 0xeec
Faulting application start time: 0x01d0657e1d8a29f6
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\MSHTML.dll
I've discovered that this happens when loading the first script on the page, which is jQuery. I've tried two different versions: 1.10.2 and 1.11.2, with the same result.
It turns out that introducing a small delay before loading jQuery (and the rest of the scripts) solves the issue. I've added this snippet before all other scripts:
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 10') >= 0) {
var t = new Date().getTime();
while (new Date().getTime() - t < 300);
}
This seemingly solves the problem. However, it is clearly very inelegant and I still don't know what the actual problem is.
Has anyone experienced something similar, and is there a better solution?

mysqld.exe keeps crashing

I appear to be in a bit of a bind. I have been working on some simple design changes to our website and having finished went to release them live. No sooner than I uploaded the affected pages, the MySQL Daemon service crahsed. I did a restart and then restarted the service as it didn't restart automatically and managed to navigate to the website. It crashed again and has been doing so nearly every ten minutes like clockwork.
The windows event log is listed here:

Does anybody have any clues what might be causing this?
As always thanks in advance.

This turned out to be an erroneous space character at the end of several lines of a stored procedure generated by SqlYog. Removing the characters fixed the problem.
Cheers

When I researched, this error means your database is probably corrupt and needs rebuilding.
Have a look at MySQL suddenly not working on Windows Server 2003 server fault question.
Hope this helps.

I have a faulting dll and a fault address - how do I start analysing the error?

I have the following two error logs in the Windows Event Viewer of our IIS production server:
Source: Application Error
Category: (100)
Event ID: (1000)
Description: Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, faulting module mscorwks.dll, version 2.0.50727.3603, fault address 0x0001da8f.
Seconds later:
Source: .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting
Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Description: Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, stamp 45d6968e, faulting module mscorwks.dll, version 2.0.50727.3603, stamp 4a7cd88e, debug? 0, fault address 0x0001da8f.
What can I do with these error messages? I see that I have a fault address and a dll name - are there any tools that will show me what is at this address in the dll? Would this be the correct approach to figuring out what caused the crash? I've so far not been able to replicate it.
Thanks.
