You'll probably have better luck contacting the application developer.

Program hangs

 

I have an accounting program that I haven't used for several months. It is

designed for Windows 2000, but when I execute the program, it freezes

without opening. I tried uninstalling the program, but when I went to

re-install the program, the computer froze.

 

I booted up in the Safe mode, and I was able to install the program from a

CD, and I was able to execute it, as normal. But, when I booted up again

normally, I still was not able to access the program. There is something

that my computer doesn't like about this piece of software.

 

Other than the occasional Windows Updates that have occurred since I last

used the program, the only other system change was the addition of an HP

All-in-One printer.

 

Might someone have some thoughts as to what is causing program this hang?

 

Thanks in advance.

I believe that it has been acquired by another company. Regardless, I now

have a second software program (another vendor) that is doing the same

thing. That's why I thought that this might be a system-related problem.

Re: Program hangs

 

Thanks for your prompt attention to my problem.

 

If booting up in the Safe mode didn't mess up the placement of the desktop

icons so, I'd almost be tempted to follow that route when running these two

programs!

Now, if that isn't the neatest darn thing! I should have more computer

problems in order to uncover fixes like the one you pointed out. My thanks

for your taking the time to pass such info along.
