Something in sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.eventLoop(Native Method) is throwing an exception when it called the function GetEnhMetaFileHeader+0x30F from library C:\WINNT\system32\GDI32.DL. It seems you are trying to start a thread for some GUI operation (display a popup?) What is this program doing? What is PrintEngine? doing in there?

Microsoft recently made an update to the GDI library due to a security issue about 6 months ago. Could this be the reason? I don't know. Show your code.

[rockets12345]

Actually I am trying to print some Images i.e. can upto 1000 pages. PrintEngine is the class to start the process and threads. No problem on my Desktop but If running on server gives this exception. If code problem then should get this error on my Desktop too. Only on when trying to run on a server and it only happens randomly. Any ideas.

Thanks

It's probably an OS issue as it involves native code, are you running the same OS on both your desktop and the server? I'd suggest checking over if you're using the proper libraries on the OS you're developing on and maybe try on a different machine that has the same setup as the server.

[cjard]

the fact that the server and the desktop are different machines doesnt help; are they the same operating system? even if they are, the chances that the dll versions of the files in microsoft windows are different, is very high. every java program makes use of windows DLLs at some point (it is basically an emulator running on the native OS) and your java program is hammering a DLL in certain way that works on your machine, and fails on the server.

joe's right that GDI security issues were found recently, and the fact that this is an access privilege violation type error means that it might be this that is a problem. maybe the serve ris patched and your desktop isnt, who knows. either way, youre going to have to rewrite your java app in a different way or change the DLLs that java is using..
