WPF Control embedded in Winform causes App Crash

0

I am working on an outlook addin where we are using WPF user control embedded in a Windows form using ElementHost.

This app crashes on only few machines intermittently.After analyzing crash dump,the WPF rendering thread seems to be causing this crash.The stack trace in the windbg looks like

This issue is due to a problem with the video driver. Installing latest(stable) video driver should sove the issue.

Another way to resolve this would be to disable hardware rendering.
