pwnboxer stopped broadcasting

[Drarkan]

I was running my DK's through the start area, and I noticed that pwnboxer stopped broadcasting key strokes. I tried enabling and re-enabling the feature, but that didn't fix it. I noticed too that I couldn't load any of my saved configs, since I just saved a most recent setup just moments before. I will reset my computer to see if the service fixes, though I think that when I tried to close XAMPP, that might have conflicted with the service that enables pwnboxer to broadcast commands, if it is done that way.

I was noticing lag which is why I wanted to close background programs. XAMPP wouldn't close either, so some things are conflicting on my computer. Just wanted to post in case this is something that can be pinned out in the next version.

Sounds to me exactly like what happens when a windows core subsystem has a failure which is affecting a small number of things (such as Pwnboxer, or XAMPP) but isn't a big enough failure to cause a system-wide crash. Most people are familiar with this especially if they use IE, but if they don't, Windows 7 is pretty stable.

Typical reboot will fix it, or sometimes if you end the explorer.exe process and re-start it since windows will actually re-initialize a lot of core components when explorer is restarted.
