ImageJ crashes Windows 7 but not in safe mode

[Jeff Hardin]

Dear Imagers,
I have a weird problem after migrating a VMWare Fusion 5 Windows virtual machine to a new Mac laptop running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8). I know this is a highly specialized, but I thought I'd send in the symptoms.

The Win7 virtual machine worked great in the past, and I could run ImageJ (with JRE) just fine. On the new Mac, however, ImageJ results in an unrecoverable crash of Windows. The main ImageJ window starts to appear, and then locks up the machine. I can reboot into Safe Mode with Networking, and ImageJ runs fine. Then if I restart Winy normally, I can run ImageJ successfully. After another restart, however, the machine will always crash again.

Deleting ImageJ and reinstalling doesn't help. Similar irretrievable crashing occur with MicroManager, which relies on ImageJ. Fiji (32-bit), on the other hand, runs fine. Moreover, I can run ImageJ using VMWare Fusion under XP on the same Mac.

Anyone up for a challenge? Help with troubleshooting this weird behavior would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

1) Did you test with a fresh Windows 7 VM on that Mac?

2) If Fiji works, why not just use that?

This battle may not be worth your time. Though I suppose it depends on how
often, and for what purposes, you use the VM.

Regards,
Curtis

Before I embark on my next crusade I wanted to see if the windmill had already been tilted.
I would like a routine where I can can capture images from the camera using a single hotkey. The routine needs to then save the image. After the first image I want it to autosave after each capture(press of the hotkey) incrementing the name of the file by one each time (Johnny 1. Johnny 2.....)then return to live image for the next file. Has anyone already done this and willing to share?

Thanks in advance for the help

Alex

First of all you should to know is SDK for you camera available.
If your camera has SDK, for example in Visual C++ you can use JNA or JNI to
have access to camera capture methods.
