A really strange error

[ricoman]

Hi,

Some weeks I tried to run my PGO .47 and it sohwed the initial screen and then disappeared. No matter how many times I reran it it did the same

Then I opened the DataBase with MS Access to check if there was any mistake but I was able to do it (both dbs) and then I consulted the fields, and although I didn't went through all of them, I saw a lot.

Later I rerun the last patch the .47 in case something damage could get refresh but to not succes.

Later I unistalled the whole program (Previously I saved the databases) and now I wanto to reinstalled. But the patch .47 says the PGO is not installed, so I need to reinstalled the whole thing, shall I reinstaled the original package and then apply one by one every patch?, do you know other workaround to my problem?

(I'm running on Windows XP SP2)

Cheers

Roberto

Hi Roberto,

You should install the latest version (2.5.048) from scratch:

http://www.pgoffline.com/groupmanager/PGOffline-2-5-048.exe

and then import your groups into it.


Cheers,

Wilson.

I  installed the version you supplied, wait to reboot system and ran it but it continues to do the same: first the splash window appears, then the main screen is shown for a fraction of a second and the program was gone. I looked out in the process list (in the windows task manager) if case some PGO process was left, but I saw nothing obviously PGO-ish.

My Windows XP SP-2 is showing some error sometimes when I shut it down (not always, is a error displaying some trouble at adress XX segment YY but doesn't tell names of programs or dlls) and I think that some non-PGO Dll related to it is causing the problem

arggghh!!, maybe I'll have to reinstall the whole Windows

Hi Roberto,

To be honest, if your XP system is unreliable you shoulr reload it.

What I do when I reload my OS is I make sure I have all the hardware drivers I need in one folder called Drivers. I then take a screenshot of my desktop and print it out. I circle all the programs I'm going to keep and make sure I have the install files (or CDs) for them.

Then I go ahead and refresh my OS.

Cheers,

Wilson.
