| | Posted: | | | | Hello
I've had DVD Profiler installed for over a month on Win XP Pro with no problems but when I tried to run it yesterday and today splash screen appears but the moving status bar (filled in orange bar) does not appear and it then disappears.
When I have a look at the file called debuglog.txt in ...\app data\dvd profiler it says:
1/06/2007 6:13:16 PM: Application Startup.
1/06/2007 6:13:16 PM: Checking AppInit
1/06/2007 6:13:16 PM: AppInit False
1/06/2007 6:13:16 PM: Check for success
1/06/2007 6:13:16 PM: Freeing AppRegistry
1/06/2007 6:13:16 PM: AppRegistry Free
1/06/2007 6:13:16 PM: Checking additional params
1/06/2007 6:13:16 PM: Creating splash
1/06/2007 6:13:16 PM: Splash shown. Application.Initialize processing
Can anyone help?
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the problem continues. |

| | Posted: | | | | once this has happened, is dvdprofiler running if you bring up the task list? or in the process list (dvdpro.exe)?
Have you ever had a dual screen setup? If so, when starting dvdprofiler press the ctrl key (I think). | | |

| | Posted: | | | | I've tried having task manager in the background while running it, and dvdpro.exe appears in the task list as the splash screen appears and it disappears from the task list as the splash screen disappears as well.
I've tried running profiler with the CTRL and the ALT key pressed (separately pressed I mean) but it made no difference.
Thanks for the ideas though.
Any thoughts?
By the way are you ajm from DVDForums? | | | | Last edited: by purpleninja |

| | Posted: | | | | well it seems like its dying good then  I'd suggest removing it again and then going through the registry to remove any other references to it. If that doesn't work, then one for Ken & Gerri to sort out I think. and yes, I'm ajm on dvdforums. Not that I go there that often now. | | |

| | Posted: | | | | Decided to delete the reg keys (without reinstalling again) and rerunning it, and it seems to have sorted out the problem. I had to reregister the program but it seems fine now.
Thanks for the help ajm. |

| | Posted: | | | | Damn....
Just tried running it again and same problem.
So if I delete the registry settings and re-run the app, and re-register my details it works, but the next time I run the app the problem recurs.
Can anyone help? |

| | Posted: | | | | There are only two lines of code between the last debug text you got and the next one you should have gotten:
Application.Initialize;
and
Application.Title := 'DVD Profiler';
I'm not sure what would cause the program to shut down at that moment, other than another program shutting it down on purpose. That seems unlikely, so I would try to look for a conflicting application. Try temporarily disabling any recently installed apps that run when Windows starts. You can use msconfig to check what you have set to run at start and to do the temporary disable. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| | Posted: | | | | Zipcom, does your debuglog.txt file show the same lines as purpleninja? | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| | Posted: | | | | as a workaround i created a "DVDProfiler.reg" file. it contains only: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Invelos Software\DVD Profiler] "AppInit"=dword:00000000 so DVDPro opens with the setup wizard  |

| | Posted: | | | | I found a fix.
I realised that my recycle bin was missing from my desktop, so I downloaded and ran the file from http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/rec_bin.htm to restore my recycle bin.
DVD Profiler is now fine.
The corruption of the recycle bin part of the registry was apparently causing DVD Profiler to not run. |
