Good evening, afternoon or morning
The system: New (6 weeks) 17" widescreen notebook, 1.7 centrino, 2Gb RAM,
128 Mb Graphics card, OS XP Home edition.
The problem: I had all the software loaded and running sucessfully,for a
couple of weeks, the photo manipulation package (Serif Photoplus) worked
normally and was 'assigned' as the 'open with' programme for jpegs, bmp s
etc. Last week it simply stopped 'responding' or so I thought. Double
clicking had no effect, either through short cuts or the programme file
itself, no error messages, just a couple of seconds of HD activity and
nothing. Task Manager says it is not running.(rather shows no evidence)
Try to unistall, error message states that the Programme is running and
needs to be closed before continuing. Reboot, then unistall, the icon
associations are still linked.
Remove all references to software through Regedit, association are gone,
reload software (updated version and old) each time after uninstall manually
search for and remove references in Registry. But still the problem persists,
the software loads, and runs in the background, with absolutly no evidence
at all.
One last point, I have an identical duplicate system, it works normally on
it. One other piece of software has a 'rendering' and programme locking
problem, on the same system and not on the duplicate (thought it might be a
'graphics type problem') but all ther graphic processed work normally.
Any ideas, sorry about the length (is it still evening, afternoon or morning)
regards
