not possible to launch Freecommander
Posted: 20.06.2012, 22:23
Hi,
I have been an heavy user of Freecommander 09.2b for years now. Recently I gave the new version Freecommander XE a spin and that was a joy to work with, just like the original. However, one bright morning earlier this month, something changed and I am now having loads of problems with starting up Freecommander. When I doubleclick on Freecommander, nothing typically happens.Sometimes I am able to launch it immediately after rebooting, but if I close it down and try to launch it again, nothing happens.
I have found that if I right-click on freecommander.exe and selected Run As... and check the Protect my computer.. option, then it will usually start. However, then it will complain about not being able to find the English language file, not being able to write to the .ini file, etc.
I tried installing FC under My Documents, thinking there should be no problems with read/write rights then. Alas it made no difference.
Hope to be able to get FC back in daily use - I love this program!
I am running Windows XP Pro SP3, 32 bit.
Oh, I tried submitting a bug report, too, but that also generated an error.
