Went to the movies with J. last night and after a good meal we ended up watching Disturbia. Not a bad movie, but not spectacular either. I'd label it as "mindless filler thriller" if I had to. Nevertheless, fun was had.
Today I'm returning to a client that had called in my help last week, and while it seemed all the issues were successfully tackled, he did mail me that one wasn't fixed. Allow me to quickly describe what happens, and what my plan of attack is for today :
As soon as the customer pops a CF card in his card reader, or connects his digital camera to the computer, a blue window pops up. Not a blue screen, phew, but a blue window. There is no text on this window, not even a title bar, no buttons to push, and no way to close it again. We can slide it to the side, but it remains an irritating bugger.
So, as I was unable to find out last week what program was causing the issue - I'm guessing an old and possible no longer installed photo manipulation program - today I've expanded my toolkit with ProcessExplorer V11.02, and if that doesn't tell me what program is launching that broken pop up window, then nothing will I guess. So, the plan of attack is quite simple, though potentially full of obstacles as well :
1. Install ProcessExplorer
2. Connect CF Card or camera
3. Wait for blue window to appear
4. Find process that changed or appeared
5. Find out what program is connected to the process
6. Look online to find updates or tech support for said program
7. Fix the issue and head back home
