Hi,

I'm having a problem trying to reinstall a working version of DBPro on my PC.

I'd removed DBPro from my PC as I'd been having recurring problems when trying to compile programs (I really don't like the new synergy editor). It was running through the compile process properly then just crashing out with the standard message:

'Darkbasic Pro Project Has Stopped Working
Windows is checking for a solution to the problem'

I'd been having this problem on and off since installing 1.075.

(I'm using Vista 32 bit on a standard Intel Quadcore Q6600)

So I uninstalled DBPro and reinstalled the orginal version from my CD copy thinking a clean install might solve the problem.

I can write and compile programs using my CD copy (version 1?) however on installing the update (1.075) I'm back to crashing out to the '...stopped working' error when trying to compile (even with a simple print "hello world" repeat program)

I'd had problems with my Norman virus software which is constantly convinced md5.dll is a virus and kept quarantining it but I reinstalled with the virus software disabled prior to adding it to my ignore list so thats not the problem.

(I also installed the free download version and am getting the same problem).

Has anyone had this problem? I'm guessing its probably something to do with my setup, though I'd never had any real problems in the past (save for the md5.dll issue).

As it is, I'm stumped and don't have a working version of DBPro which i was hoping to spend a bit of time with, finishing a project off over the Christmas hols.

Thanks.

Yep, I told Norton to exclude my DBPro directory
although I am running Windows 7
Also make sure you are running DBPro as administrator
Since doing this, not problems at all.

Bill,

You nailed it with that one! I'm not running as Administrator since I reinstalled!!!! (Thought I was, checked, and low and behold I wasn't!) No wonder it was completely uncooperative.

Been messing about with all sorts since I posted and had just backed up everything prior to a reformat and factory reset to get it working.

Its always nice when its the simple things (despite the kick in the teeth with such obvious errors being missed).

for anyone with a similar problem:




Cheers mate.
