Quickwin program freezes on Windows 7 x64

[Reinaldo_Garcia]

When the program ends and displays the message "...Exit window?", if you click No, the window freezes.
The same program works just fine in Vista x64/XP.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and compiler 11.1.035.

Any suggestion?

I presume that this library is not yet in Update 2 as the library in Update 2 is dated 14/1 while this one is 20/1?

Correct. This fix, assuming no further problems are found, will be in Update 3.

Hello,
it seems, that I have the same problem with update 3 too. I have to kill taskhost.exe then all works. As described before, I'm using 32 bit W/.
Is this fix in Update 3 or not. If not, is it in 4. Thanks.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

No, this fix is not in Update 4. It was deemed too risky without enough evidence that it did not create further problems. If you want the fix, please follow the instructions here.

I wrot a email to quadsupport@mailbox.intel.com with topic Request QuickWin library fix DPD200149113. Is this correct to get the fix?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

No. You must log in through Intel Premier Support and request the fix.

My company bought a license for me. I got an email with a download link and serial number and one year support. The link works. But I can't regsiter the license, because it's already regsitered and so, I can' use premier supoort. Any idea what I can do to?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

We've found a problem with the Intel 64 (x64) version of the fixed library - a new one is being built and we should have it in a day or two. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I tried the w32 ifqwinlib in my qwin application under xp. It slows donw the application. All scrren actions are slow. Then I rechanged to the old one and all works fine again.

[hkausl]

Any news about the lib patch and the speed I wrote in my last post?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

I have passed your comment on to the developers but have not heard from them. I expect they'll want to see a buildable and runnable copy of your application. Others we have given the library to have not reported speed problems.

Do you have a test case we can look at?

[hkausl]

Hello Steve,
sorry for the delay, I did some tests. It's not possible to make a small buildable example. I retried linking with the new ifqwin.lib once more, it works on W7 32bit , program freeses no more. But the speed slows down. My program handles the complete video output and is based on the ifqwin rotuines. So I will includes something, that when the program starts, taskhost.exe will be killed automaticall.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Which aspects of the program slow down? The change we made related to input events. We'll take the full application if you're willing to provide it. Please use Intel Premier Support for that.

[hkausl]

I'm filling the whole screen with text-information, therefore I usefunctionouttext. Then I wait for keyboard or mouse events withsleppqq of 25 ms. I handle the total keyboard event.So there are input events. I attached some of the specific routines and a readme too.
The writing on screnn is slower than with the normal ifqin.lib. The reasaon may be the input handler, becaus I'm always waiting for inputs

[Steven_L_Intel1]

I need a buildable and runnable application. The ZIP you attached is missing many routines, as well as the main program.

[hkausl]

Sorry, thats not possible. So I go on with killiing taskhost.exe.
