Hello

Using the CDIntf210.dll,

if the date of the PC is greater than 2037,
a call to the function EnablePrinter() provoques
a "First-chance exception"
0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000001c

Not very urgent... but still a bug !

Cheers !

Hello,

This is a weired bug, we will check it and hopefully will get it resolved by 2037 :-)

This is a known issue with a LOT of software. It's the next "Y2K" problem where the integer used to store Julian dates runs out of space.
The actual bug may or may not be in Amyuni code as a lot of DLLs have this lurking.

just out of curiosity, why do you need to set the machine's system date to that day in the future?
