Saving card problem

Windows CardSpace (InfoCard)

hillem616


My machine freezes and I can't do anything when saving a card. When i push the button to reboot, then my machine goes back to windows and I see a Java debug window asking me for what debugger I like to use to correct the problem.

After the computer have restarted my card is updated with the new information. Having to reboot everytime I need to change my information is a bit irritating.

I'm using the FireFox plugin.

I like the idea but I'm a bit conserned by the privacy issue and mobility issue. Keep up the good work.

Best regards
George

Are there any event logs written and if so, can you provide them

The message pops up quite often on my machine now. It's an System.ExectionEngineException in infocard.exe.

And I can't find anything about it in the Event logs.

Where should I check for logs for this executible

Hi,

I got similar behaviour after importting broken .crds file - Cardspace UI freezes.

After trying Ctrl-Alt-Del - logout I noted that Just-In-Time debugger (not Java) chooser is up - so after getting uncaught exception infocard.exe is stopped to debug, but debugger's UI cannot pop-up because of Cardspace secure desktop. After disabling JIT in Visual Studios I get just error message box instead of freeze.

Hi,

To turn Just-in-time of solved my problem. But I get no error message when I run the example.

I think this behavior is strange and probebly something that MS should look in to. I don't think that the error disappeared. Just that I don't get any information about it now.

Thanks for the answer.

If you're referring being trapped on the private desktop, we've fixed the general issue there for our next release. You system isn't really frozen at that point. The application threw an unhandled exception, JIT kicked in, but you're still on the private desktop unable to access the JIT window, causing a lock.

At this point, CTRL+ALT+DEL still works and the only workaround for now is to select log off and log back in if you don't want to reboot.

When you mentioned saving card, are you referring to installing a managed card (*.crd), backing up cards to a *.crds file or restorking cards from a *.crds file

I'm referring to clicking the save button on a card on my computer. Updating my local information.

I'm not trying to backup, restore or use a manage card.

that's interesting. i've never actually seen that before.

can you try backing up your cards and then deleting the cardspace folder in %homepath%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\

and seeing if that'll help
