title: What exactly is a fault bucket and what causes it?
body: <p>A have a Windows application which I've being running flawlessly for years, first on XP and now on Vista, just in the morning I copied the software to another Windows Vista Home 32 bits machine, and it kept crashing the first 20 or 30 times I ran it, but suddenly the problem was solved just like magic, no hardware was touched, no software was touched, no configuration was touched, not even a reboot was executed, it simply stopped crashing form one second to the other. Why... I have no idea.</p>
  
  <p>When I saw the event log and I found the following message every time the application crashed:</p>
  
  <p>Fault bucket 2550128871, type 1</p>
  
  <p>Event Name: APPCRASH</p>
  
  <p>Response: None</p>
  
  <p>Cab Id: 0</p>
  
  <p>What does this exactly mean? and more importantly, why it stopped from happening just like magic?</p>
  
  <p>I'm the developer of this application so I'm concerned it may be a bug inside my code... although everything seems to point otherwise.</p>
  
  <p>Any Ideas?</p>
