Sounds fair enough, to be honest. I'm not using Vista anywhere, so haven't fallen over that (yet).
If it was a WinXP/Win2000 compatibility problem, however, I'd be all over it - the standard desktop OS where I work is still Win2000....

I only use Vista at home so I can keep my experience up. Work is all XP/2K.
But I try and keep an eye on (eg) Vista so I don't end up making a pain for myself in the future. I'm actually a bit of a fan of UAC - the only problem with it is that so much software is written arrogantly, assuming it has the right to piddle all over my machine.

You (not necessary Mr Dootson) have sold me a game. What possible justification can you give to get me to give you admin rights? It's handy for you? Tough, write better code.

At least games have a selfish excuse of installing DRM. It may not be a /good/ excude, but it's plausible. But the amount of 'real' apps that misbehave...
Yours respecting the difference between HKLM and HKCU since 1999...

Couldn't agree more - that's why I've always (since we started using Windows 2000) been an advocate of doing all development work (or testing, at very least) as a non-privileged user, rather than as admin. That's the only way I can be reasonably sure that I've implemented solutions that are appropriate for the environment in which they're to be deployed - or alternatively be able to identify exactly where you have to step outside the security limitations.

I do test under a limited user, but I don't develop that way - too much of a pain. But if my code breaks my machine, at least it's my own fault...
Quite a lot of my work is interfacing with other peoples hardware libraries, so opening up the odd security hole for them can be a bit painful for my principles.

You have bought, if have you (not necessary Mr Clarke  ), the game. Now, how can that game meet all your expectations about its performances without hacking your machine? So, please, first make it admin and then bomb Los Angeles!

There is a general database forum where you might get help.
I certainly have no clue about your problem... And as I am the bestest ever expert at C++, noone else will.
(Ok, they might...)

pstChooseColor->Flags = CC_RGBINIT;
pstChooseColor->lStructSize = sizeof( CHOOSECOLOR );

pDisplaySettingsPage->OnChangeColor();
}
}
break;
Please help

Use your debugger to track the problem more in detail. Where does the crash occur exactly ? What does the call stack look like ?

Not really for us. In fact for these kind of problems, you'll have to find the root cause yourself and fix it. There's no magic way of solving the problem. Use the call stack to locate the problem in your code, put breakpoints before the crash occur and inspect the different variables.
The exception means that you are trying to access an invalid memory region (e.g reading or writing to a NULL pointer, ...)

I saw the callstack and could you please check whether pDisplaySettingsPage a valid pointer when the function is being called?
