Topic: Recorder crashing before opening

Hello

Recently Recorder has been crashing as I try to open it. It opens as far as the welcome screen but then freezes before the login screen opens and reports an unhandled error. I attach a screenshot of the message that appears.

I have a colleague that also uses the same installation and appears to have no problem logging on. We run on a local authority network and the IT helpdesk has decided that the issue is with recorder.

Any ideas what has happened?

Hi David

Could you click on 'show bug report' and post the first 100~ lines to this topic as they should provide a clue about what's wrong.

Thanks
Andy

Re: Recorder crashing before opening

Something has happened to your registry entries,  or most likely to your access to the folders. This can happens when security is tightened.   I doubt if R6 is the cause. Get IT to check in the registry   HKey_Current_User\software\dorset softwar\Recorder 6\Settings. In the will be the Error Path. This should be set to a folder where you have both read and write permissions. Very often when one path is wrong or there is no access, then others are wrong as well, so it woudl be be adviseable for IT  to check that all the paths look reasonable and you have access to them. If R6 can't access the files as specified in the registry it will try to find them in the default locations, which  is why you are getting the message updating files. If R6 is working for another user they can compare the regsitry entries.
