Dave, I have experienced the freezing problem you describe with Windows 7. I am using the NUGET package in a Windows service project built with VS 2010. It may freeze with no keyboard and mouse control and you must perform a power button shutdown. Alternatively it may slow down the UI greatly, when this happens task manager will reveal that the process 'ekrn.exe' (this is ESET) is taking 50% of cpu resources, but Windows behaves like it is taking 99%. I found this post that pointed me in the direction of antivirus, ESET in my case.
https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/issues/160 If you are using ESET antivirus or some other antivirus make an exception for your executable. In ESET it is found under Advanced setup > Antivirus and antispyware > Exclusions. Add the path to your executable. - Steve -----Original Message----- I've been trying to write a broker using ZMQ and found that it would occasionally lock my PC totally, requiring a power-off as the usual Ctrl-Alt-Del etc, and even a shutdown request by pressing the power button did nothing. _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
