Starting vvvv on MS Surface 2.0 / Samsung Sur40 results in an instant crash.
Win 7 Pro 64 bit
crack.exe shows everything as OK.
/logstartup returns the following (not that much)
[13:27:36.592](13:27:36.592) everything you know is wrong
[13:27:36.608](13:27:36.608) creating SplashScreen
[13:27:36.608](13:27:36.608) Adding lib\thirdparty to PATH.

enabling /logexceptions does not provide further information, no exception-dialog pops up.
The behaviour “can be simulated on a normal computer” by installing the Microsoft Surface 2.0 SDK (which requires Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0 )
After the installation start vvvv.Input Simulator

ai bjoern, it is /showexceptions not /logexceptions
and you’re saying vvvv startsup normally and only crashes when you start that surface simulator?

mh typo. I used /showexceptions.
Yes vvvv starts as expected but as soon as the simulator is launched vvvv crashes.

tried with older versions, works with betas up to 19.1. beta20 is the first one that crashes.

further investigation:
When starting the Input Simulator it in turn launches two instances of wisptis.exe and those seem to be the root of all evil. After killing the Input Simulator via Task Manager and leaving wisptis.exe alone, the problem still persists.wisptis.exe can no longer be killed in the Task Manager, it always restarts. Even after a reboot the program is started automatically.
Seems this approach tricked Windows 7 into believing it´s running on a tablet PC. Suddenly I´ve got options/icons for Tablet PC Settings & Pen And Touch in my Control Panel.
VVVV (>beta19.1) now can´t be started at all.

How to get things running again:
Control Panel > Programs And Features > Turn Windows features on or off >
Change the state of Tablet PC Components , if it´s ticked, untick it or the other way round (this may require several restarts).
edit: Human Interface Devices , look for Microsoft Surface Virtual Digitizer > right click > Disable (restart if necessary)

On the Sur40 itself I can get vvvv to run by disabling a certain HID-compliant device in the device manager that belongs to the Surface Vision Processor . Unfortunately this also makes the Surface a Non-Surface.
