  • This is what Happends

    1. Program load up- Everythings working Ok

    2. I Click on Command Box - Its loads up & everything ok

    3. Click on any button - Program comes up with a "Devices (Not Responding Error)" & If I Click on another button the Program locks up with a see though White screen comes over the program

    Note- I notied that when my progrm were very small it was a very short Pause & than the program finited loading up But when the program became Bigger & with my window 7 Acer laptop it up over 30-Seconds before it recovers but than it ran ok (It bother me but I could live with it )

    4. But With my new Dell laptop with Windows 8 it takes over 3-Minuites to 5-Minuites before it recovers ( this is way too long & it worries me, Something is wrong)

    so whats going on?

    A. I'm thinking the program has a lot of garbage in it? is thier a way I can clen it up (I have up to 400 saved programs)

    B. command Box size buttona are 20x20 & Page 1 to 3 are full of buttoms & the last two are also are full of buttons

    c. I using upto address 345 & more to come

    So Whats wrong & how can I fix it?


    Thanks

  • Hello

    Could you please upload the error message here.

    Maybe there's a problem wih a deleted fixture but can't say anything without the actual error message.

    For easyier upload you can click "save to log" or something like that and then copy the error message from the *.err file (open with textedit) and paste it here into your post.

  • Sorry its a bad pic!

    The program is like this for over 1- minute

    Note - it happens every time I use the program & with any first Control box I load up after I active any Key it stalls than I active another key & this happens, After this happens the program recovers & everything works like normal

  • Puh

    I don't have any good idea. But check with your Taskmanager if the one core (DMXControl 2 only can use one) which is used by DMXControl is at 100%.

    Edit: Of course when the error / freeze accours.
