Pf does not start anymore

Post by Bumperke »

We have a strange problem. PF does not start anymore. Every other app starts with exception fro PF.
It just doesn’t react anymore.

What will fix this problem? :?

If it doesn’t start anymore all of a sudden, something must have changed. Eg have you performed any update?

And what do you mean by any other app also doesn’t start?!

Do you get any entry in the ProppFrexx ‚Error.log‘ File?
Else any entry in the Windows event log?

Without further details I am afraid I cannot help much...

lm not able to give any info.
All apps works with exception from PF. Where can i pick up an error log file?
I guess you're right that somethings changed, but without any error log there's nothing to find. And since PF does not work, i have to find some other way to get the error log. Where can this be exactly?

The Error.log File is located in the ProppFrexx AppDataUser Folder, eg %appdata%/radio42/ProppFrexx ONAIR/4.0

Also take a look to the Windows Event Log. See here how to use it:
https://www.google.de/amp/s/www.howtoge ... se-it/amp/

Please describe what exactly is happening when you start ProppFrexx?
- is nothing happening at all?
- is the splash screen shown, but then it freezes?
If yes, what last message is displayed at the bottom?

Could it be, that you have moved your config directory or your scheduler directory?
Please make sure, that the path "C:\Users\pf\AppData\Roaming\radio42\ProppFrexx ONAIR\4.0\log\" exists and that you have access to it!

Hi Bernd, back from my holiday. Make a fresh start.
The folder exists, PF just does nothing.

Same error as above?
If yes, please check, if ProppFrexx has access rights - that is what the above error message says!
Something must have changed, as else there is no reason, that PF wouldn't work anymore.
I also did not hear about such an issue fro any other user.

So without further details about possible errors or what might have changed on your system I am also a bit lost and not really able to help.

Looking already in the event logger, not able to find anything. Only a windows update (again :? ).
For what it's worth, PF does not start at all. I can use the pic, open in the C directory,... i'm cunfused. What will be the first thing PF will do after you activate the app?

Try to move away the entire config folder.
E.g. rename it from „4.0“ to „4.0copy“.
Then restart PF...
