"unhandled exception occurred in your application"

I have a canon camera which has wifi. It has a configuration utility that helps you setup the connection to a wifi access point which i do have. However, whgen i try and run this app called "wifi connection setup" I get the error i mentioned. It also says "object reference not set to an instance of an object". I have reinstalled it, tried downloading it rather then using the disc version, tried repairing net framework, (which i suspected from a post in a google search) virus scans, etc. Sill does this. Any ideas on how to determine what is happening?

Thanks. I tried safe mode and still get that error. I take it this means .NET framework is NOT to blame? And what exactly does it tell me of importance? I realize a lot of things are not loaded in safe mode so those are all no longer suspect, tho i don't know what is or isn't loaded or what to look for now.

I tried but nothing from my account was there including the app i'm having issues with. Plus i have a app that scrambles text so my passwords and user names cannot be hack, and when i turned it off it wouldn't go off so i couldn't even type to get to the app in one of my email accounts. Everything i tried to do got stopped in it's tracks by some issue due to being logged in as that admin account. So i just gave up on that.

I saw that post and tried the event viewer a while back with to no avail, tho i can't remember what exactly happned. I've tried so many things i don't recall a lot of what happened but i did try that. Heres the text from the error...

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit the application will close immediately.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

This sounds so suspect I would expect it to give chronic problems. Can you uninstall it to see if it is blocking connection?

Is the error reporting on the camera when you try to connect to router, or on the PC itself?

Can you try to connect the camera directly to the router as I did for my Dad's and then it should show up in Devices and Printers without enabling software?

Do you have a 3rd party firewall? What does the Canon Manual for your model say about this?

It has nothing to do with the camera. It's an app that gives the error and won't start and doesn't need the camera to use it, just the wifi device.

Can you try to connect the camera directly to the router as I did for my Dad's and then it should show up in Devices and Printers without enabling software? No, the router is not available to me in my current living situation. I share the bill with the person i sublet from

Do you have a 3rd party firewall? What does the Canon Manual for your model say about this? No firewall
