Crashes right after starting

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As 7plus starts, the systray icon appears. It can't be right-clicked and none 
of the functions work. After approx. 15 seconds it simply terminates.

Using the latest version on Win7 86x (or 32-bit if you like)

It started happening randomly one day. My system itself is intact and i didn't 
install any other gadgets like it around the time it started jamming.

Just a question out of the blue, are you using a gamepad? I noticed that 
Autohotkey has a leak at some point related to the gamepad functions I use, I 
see it leaking everytime I don't have my gamepad plugged in, doesn't crash for 
me though.

Apart from that, I can only suggest reinstalling it, check for virusses that 
might modify executables, etc...

A gamepad? What does that have to do with a Windows utility? And no, i never 
had any trouble with gamepads or other hardware.

And i have reinstalled it dozens of times (if you can call it installable 
anyway, it's unzip-cut-paste), i got no viruses, my system is intact and so 
forth. I dunno what started causing it, but it happened a long time ago 
already... I just didn't report it untill now.

Oh, for the xbox controller function, right? No, i don't even use gamepads 
except for games themselves :P

I think it only matters if you have installed a driver. It might be specific to 
the XBOX controller driver I use, not sure if that applies at all here.

You could also try running the sources version (requires autohotkey_l ansi 
version), and see if it works there.

I don't even have xbox controller drivers... Only Win7's universal gamepad 
drivers and one for playstation controllers.

And i've never had xbox controller drivers, neither do i now, but 7plus worked 
fine for a while and then randomly started jamming right after starting. I 
didn't do anything with drivers or anything, but i dunno anything that could be 
causing it. I'm sorry i can't give anymore info, but it's no drivers or 
anything that's doing this.

And i have some autohotkey thing installed, but what do you mean with "_i ansi 
version"?

Ok, i've download that version of autohotkey (which only gives a 
non-installable executable) and the sources of 7plus... I have no idea how to 
set this up and running now though

I'll look around your site, see if i can find anything

Well, i drag-and-dropped 7plus.ahk onto the autohotkey executable, the output 
was the exact same as with the 7plus executable

You just need to assign ahk files to open with Autohotkey_L and then open 
7plus.ahk.

If you want to get into debugging, you could add "MsgBox Text" commands at 
various places in 7plus.ahk and Autoexecute.ahk, and see where it hangs.

I can't really tell you more as I'm not seeing this error anywhere.

html, batch/dos and basic, lol

Still not fixed with V2 :'( DAMN i want this so bad :(

Sorry I can't be of more help here, but this seems to be a very specific 
problem with your computer.

Same happens to me. I see the tray icon and when I move over it it disappears. 
I noticed that the program (v1.2 and 2.0) closes right after I start it. Tried 
to solve the problem with Application Verifier and Compatibility settings on 
Win 2k3. Never had a comparable problem with any application on this system.

Any suggestion on how to fix this or to find a cause? Debugging?

Still the same problem with the latest version :(

Isn't there any kind of logging or debugging version? Like a version that logs 
what it does so we can see where it crashes?

You could download DebugView, put it in 7plus\DebugView and set DebugEnabled=1 
in Settings.ini, but I'm not sure if this would help you without adding further 
debug messages. This will only tell you if it crashes in a specific line of the 
AHK code from 7plus, you probably won't see the real cause without looking into 
the source code of Autohotkey.

Debug messages are printed using the OutputDebug command like this:

OutputDebug Message

Sorry if I can't be of more help here, but I haven't noticed this problem on 
any system I tested 7plus.

Ok, so how do i use that? It doesn't look like a cmd command line to me

Original comment by therealf...@gmail.com on 11 Nov 2010 at 8:08

No, you'd need to use the source version of 7plus (run with Autohotkey_L ANSI 
version) and add this line at appropriate places. I suggest to start with 
7plus.ahk, and then AutoExecute.ahk, it's most likely happening in one of those 
files, if it doesn't actually happen in Autohotkey code before 7plus code gets 
executed.

ok, so i installed AHK L ANSI version and downloaded the latest source code. 
Now, i have no idea how i did it, but i got the source version to work...

I first right-clicked 7plus.ahk, selected "compile" (just experimenting, no 
idea what it does) and deleted the resulting 438 KB file. Next, i right-clicked 
it again, went to "open with" and selected AHK. It asked for internet access 
(got ZoneAlarm installed so i know when something tries to call out), granted 
it and a few seconds later, i got the "first run" popup :)

Hope that gives you an idea where to look

Not really, sorry. Next version will have Unicode and 64bit support, maybe this 
fixes it for some people.

Does anyone still have this issue?

Original comment by fragman@gmail.com on 2 May 2011 at 4:45

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm no longer getting it, thanks :)

I've been getting other bugs like the special copy-pasting of text and images 
not working and such, but i've honestly stopped using it now that i've got 
q-dir to replace my explorer because 7plus doesn't work in it

Sorry to hear that. May I assume that you weren't using 2.3.0 yet when you had 
this issue?

Original comment by fragman@gmail.com on 4 May 2011 at 1:42

• Changed state: WontFix

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've always been using the latest version available, checking this site almost 
weekly

2.3.0 still had the issue last time i tried

Was it not working all the time, only sometimes, or with specific clipboard 
contents (from a specific program).

Are you using other programs that provide enhanced clipboard functionality?

I can't paste anything that came from FireFox (but i thought that was a known 
bug related to .NET or something)  and Gimp, fast folders don't work and i 
haven't tried anything else yet as of late, many of the features are a tad 
excessive for my workflow (not saying it's bad, i just don't need many of the 
other features). The window resizing tooltip doesn't show up but the aero slide 
windows do, as well as the window group toggling (it even stays active when 
7plus isn't running :P i like that)

Sorry i can't be of much help but at least the original problem of this topic 
is gone
