Guest Gordon Biggar Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 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. Regards, Gordon Biggar Houston, Texas

Guest Gordon Biggar Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 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!
