3.54 locks up!
I saw that 3.54 was available for download, so I grabbed it and installed it. Starting the program brings it up full screen, then here's what I did"
- Minimized EPIM to the TaskBar using the 'X' button.
- Maximized it.
- Minimized it to the TaskBar again using the 'X' button.
- Maximized it again.
It locked up, with the following error showing:

I was unable to minimize or close it, so I used Task Manager to end the application. Interestingly enough, Task Manager said it was running but Task Manager Processes said only 1% - 2% of my processor was in use, so I'm not sure if EPIM was in a processing loop or not. Note though that my PC is a new Dell with Windows7 (x64) and a fast processor! When I closed the program, Task Manager said that EPIM was waiting for a response from me, although I had clicked all over the error window and nothing happened.
If I can help more, please let me know.
Thanks, Bill

Re: 3.54 locks up!
Is it one-off error? Or do you meed this every time you start EPIM?
Let's see if there are other complaints like this.

Re: 3.54 locks up!
EssientialPIM Pro Desktop ver. 3.54
Vista Home Premium 64 bit
Computer locks up on Exit every time. After closing program with taskmanager there is a clicking sound in speaker every few seconds. I have to reboot computer to stop that. 3.54 is unusualble as is.

Re: 3.54 locks up!
Same problem here if you check "minimise to tray when closing" in options. Otherwise, the problem does not occur.

Re: 3.54 locks up!
We reproduced the problem with AV if Minimize on close and minimize to system tray is enabled on 64 bit system. Working on a fix.
But could not reproduce Vic's problem (or, rather, it is incorrectly described).

Re: 3.54 locks up!
The fixed 3.54 is working fine on my PC Max, thanks!
BTW - two EPIM versions ago I made a suggestion:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9130
Not having the capability to print these notes, or any note that is taken full screen is causing me many problems. I am a retired mainframe programmer and now a Visual Basic 9 programmer, and as such I think that adding various print icons to the note's tool bar would do the trick, but not having dug into your code I could be wrong. Is there any chance that you will add this capability soon?
Thanks, Bill

Re: 3.54 locks up!
I have the same problem as MrBill. But I use the free version. Is there going to be an update for the free version?

I just checked. Free version works fine. Can you make a video using http://www.jingproject.com/ or any other service?nito wrote:I have the same problem as MrBill. But I use the free version. Is there going to be an update for the free version?

At this moment, I don't have the time to make a video (I'm sorry). But when I start EssentialPim there isn't a problem. When I minimize EssentialPim and then maximse EssentialPim again, it still works. But when I close EssentialPim (by pressing the X-button), EssentialPim doesn't work anymore. "Minimise on startup" is clicked on.
I use Windows 7 and have a 64-bit version.
Thanks

At least a screenshot of your Tools-> Options-> General might help.nito wrote:

btw. i think you should make a new version e.g. 3.54a so that everybody nows that you updated the program
