Title: Problem with exiting Mala
Post by: colonelsnow on March 21, 2013, 12:20:08 pm
I get fairly consistent lock ups when exiting Mala. Any ideas about what could cause that? It does not seem to be a focus issue.

Running anything else along with Mala?
Having Mala run anything on exit?

Having Mala confirm exit, or just exit?
If confirming, does it lock up before or after it asks for confirmation?

The only thing I can think Mala does on exit is write to mala.ini
Do you have mala.ini marked as read only or something weird like that?

Another thing out of curiousity...are you using a stripped down version of XP?

I am running XP Pro.

I am not running anything else but Mala and nothing is set to run when it exits.

It happens whether or not I have confirm exit turned on.

I will check the mala.ini file, but I am pretty sure that it is not write protected.

The only other thing I can think of is that there is an option to have Mala change the desktop resolution when it launches and changing back on exit might be causing some kind of error.

You might try disabling that.  It's a checkbox somewhere in the options menu that's accessed by right clicking the mouse while Mala is running.

I upgraded to the beta version of Mala and it fixed the problem.
