Title: Unable to reload v9 on new PC
Post by: DannyG on April 05, 2012, 04:59:26 PM
I have TG v.9.43 registered and running on my Windows 7 64 bit  laptop so I know it runs on it, I recently attempted to load it on my new PC which has the same OS, It keeps shutting down, attached is a screen shot of what appears before windows closes the program, has anyone had this problem ?

Strange, I haven't seen that yet, and there's very little info. I do have Classic running on Win 7 x64, so I too know that it works. Do you perhaps run in a limited user account? Possibly try uninstalling, making sure all install files are removed in /Program Files/, then reinstall, running the installer with admin privileges if possible, and/or try running the executable with admin privs.

If none of that helps, I'm at a bit of a loss. Perhaps you can find a log with more info.

"limited user account" not sure what you mean by this. I spent $99 years ago for registration, what is the limit of users per license ? This would only be my second computer I loaded it on, so if its only one than I need another and that might be my problem  ???

No, it's not a limit on the license. You can freely transfer it between computers and there is no online activation.

A limited user account would be if you were not running with a Windows account that had Administrative privileges.

Oshyan,
I got it sorted, My system as a default selected "Install With Previous Version Of Windows" Thats the way I had it installed on my previous machine so I stubbornly tried to load it several times, in the end I deleted all files and plugins re installed with current windows 7 settings and it worked fine. Sanity is regained ^^

Glad you got it worked out, and thanks for the update.
