kahlil88 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 My friend is having some problems with a fairly clean install (about a month or two ago) of Windows XP Home. When he tries to print an image from Explorer with the photo printing wizard, it crashes. The details showed that the problem was with gdiplus.dll so I tried to re-register it (regsvr32 gdiplus.dll) but got errors. I think it might have something to do with the Microsoft .NET Framework since that stopped working recently for no discernible reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Can you get a crash of the application? There's a sticky at the top of the section on how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrofLuigi Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Gdiplus is inside WinSXS so much more is needed than simply registering it. Also, XP had numerous updates of it. Search Microsoft KB.Where is this gdiplus.dll located?GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrofLuigi Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 On my computers, it's in WinSXS. The difference might be XP Home, or < SP2 (if you have that), but I suspect some program put it there.Now, this is a pretty critical component, so I wouldn't just delete it or move it. Maybe for starters you could install this recent Microsoft GDI+ update to have at least one working version of it, and then try again. Although I'm not very optimistic that it will solve the problem(s) on that computer...Your best bet would be to create a memory dump as Cluberti said.GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he tries to print an image from Explorer with the photo printing wizard, it gets as far as letting him choose a printer but crashes when he presses the "next" button. I created a memory dump if anyone can decipher it for me.PID_3316__EXPLORER.EXE__Date_05_06_2009__Time_19_55_08PM.log.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Does he have the Windows Image Acquisition servide disabled or stopped? The phot printing wizard seems to want this in my experience.Also what model printer is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahlil88 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Merging topics. Do NOT double post.Sorry about that. I thought it would be better to have a different topic title, because this problem has more to do with the Photo Printing Wizard than GDI+.

cluberti Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 They're actually the same issue, according to your logs. Upload the .dmp files and we'll take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
