Windows 7 blue screen

I have a 32 bit app that works fine in Windows XP, but doesn't work in
Windows 7 64 bit. Created a virtual version of it. The ZAV version
works great in Win7 64bit except printing to our PDF driver causes a
blue screen. I can print to our iPrint printers without problem. I'm
new to ZAV. Any suggestions for how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks,
Ken

    What is the blue screen code you're getting? Are there any errors in the event logs?

    It seems a bit odd that any virtualized app would cause a blue screen.

    But I can make it happen without fail.

    Found this in the event log:
    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was:
    0x00000050 (0xfffff900c3200000, 0x0000000000000000,
    0xfffff9600025e328, 0x0000000000000002).

    I created a debug version of the app and found this in one of the
    logs:
    0x0B74, 0xB875A:ERROR: 0xD000003A, Unable to open file the startup
    module: \DEVICE\HARDDISKVOLUME2\Program Files (x86)\Tracker
    Software\PDF-XChange Lite 4\pdfSaver4l.exe.

    That is the PDF driver we are using. The driver works great on both
    XP and Win7. And it works fine with the application on XP. But if I
    try to print using the application as a virtual app on Win7, a blue
    screen is guaranteed.

    By the way it references "win32k.sys" and
    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA.

    I tried including the PDF driver in the snapshot of the app. No blue
    screen, but I did get a slew of other errors. If no one has any
    suggestions, I may just open an SR with Novell.

    Have you tried setting DEP compatibility, run child processes as user, or emulate elevated priveledges?

    Just checked all three of those options. No change. Still get a blue
    screen. Guess I need to open an SR and see if Novell can shed any
    light on the problem.

    This issue was reproducible in-house, thankfully. A case was filed with Spoon; we'll update the forum with the resolution if and when we get it.

    Hopefully "when", not "if". :-) Novell Tech Support has been taking
    good care of me on this issue.
