BPBible crashes on open - how I 'fixed' it #240

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. 

On both regular and portable BPBible of any versions, from .46 on, all of a 
sudden they would crash on startup. Tried all kinds of things, reinstalls, 
reboots, etc., nothing worked. 

What does work: Right click the program and open as Administrator. Works like a 
charm every time. Windows has changed something about how it handles security I 
think.

That certainly sounds very wrong, and not necessarily anything we can can 
control (maybe the owner of some important file has changed to not be you).
However, a few questions which might help:
1. You say "from .46 on".  Did you have .45 working?  If so, does it still 
work?  Did it stop working from when you first installed .46, or did .46 work 
when you first used it and stop working later?

2. Does the program always crash on startup, or only sometimes?

3. Does the crash give you an error message?  If so, could you please include 
the full text of the message (or a screenshot) here?

4. Have you tried reinstalling to a different location from where it was 
originally installed?

5. What is your user name on Windows?  Did you at any point change which user 
you log in as?

With no feedback for more than a year and no way of reproducing it I'm going to 
close this.

Sorry for not responding. Yes, previous versions work fine. i have not changed 
my login name. For what its worth, I cant get it to work on Windows 8 either
