Pgm completely freezes at random times
Pgm completely freezes at random times
Hello. I have downloaded the trial version of XYplorer, and really hope it will fulfill my needs. However, each time I have tried to use it, it completely freezes and I have to use the task manager to shut it down. This happens at random times. So far I have only used it to open various folders, that's all. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I have downloaded the very latest version from your website, have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, have restarted my computer and have savagely beat my computer with a large hammer a couple of times.

Hi, "each time I have tried to use it...". What exactly did you do right before it froze?

Well, as I said, it freezes at completely random times, I might be opening a folder, I might be clicking on a photo in a folder, no one particular action seems to trigger it.

Re: Pgm completely freezes at random times
Weird!
In case you were using the items' context menu, try to tick this:
Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | Hide shell extensions from shell context menu
Also untick this:
Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box
Are you showing any previews?

Can't even find the Context menu. I'm just using it as loaded, no changes made. Sorry, I know I haven't given you much to go on. I wish I could give you a specific action that triggers it, I know that would greatly help with the troubleshooting process.

I mean the menu that appears when you right click on a file.

When I right click on a folder, I only get this, nothing about 'configure'

Re: Pgm completely freezes at random times
You (and then I) misunderstood that. Configuration (F9) is a menu item under Tools.

Ah. I ticked the box for Hide shell extensions from shell context menu, the box for Show Hover Box was already unticked, clicked Apply - still freezes. Maybe I need a bigger hammer?

Not yet, Thor. How long are those freezes?

It stays frozen until I stop the program using task manager

Why? Why you? What is so special about your system?

I forgot to mention that my computer is haunted. Called an exorcist once, he ran away screaming.

Could be. I was beating on the dang thing when he arrived.
It's looking like I will have to give another program a try. Real shame, I really liked this one, when it worked.
