iconx crashes my pc why ?

[grahamdvddvddvd]

I had been using iconx for a while and it was all fine then suddenly it all froze, i rebooted I uninstalled, reinstalled and still it crashes my pc ? It even came up with a warning after one reboot that windows had removed a active desktop item,.
Is there any others that are basically the same as Iconxso I can make large buttons with states for my touch screen jukebox ..thanks or any ideas why it would suddenly make my pc crash ?

Check your event viewer for details on the crash.

Hi thanks i went into the events veiwer and had a look at the warnings and errors can not see anything with iconx on ? When I open iconX it seems to all freeze and the harddrive is working overtime !

[grahamdvddvddvd]

I pressed delete/ctrl/alt and had a look at the task manager and the Iconx was running but taking 180,222kb which seemed a lot for a small program ? But not opening ?

[Luke122]

Maybe reinstall that program, and see if that sorts the issue out.

Hi thanks ive reinstalled and uninstalled it so many times, when i click on the program (iconx) it freezes all my pc , you can not delete it from the task manager only option is to reboot ?

[Luke122]

Do you see any errors in the event viewer? 99% of the time, the event viewer will tell you exactly what happened and why.

Hi theres nothing in the events viewer, i deleted all events in the end and tried to open the iconX again a couple of times and then checked in the events and there were no errors, I tried on the task manager again and the memory usage on iconx was going up by the thousand of kb every second it got uo to 320,000 and still going up before i rebooted ?

virus?

[grahamdvddvddvd]

Hi thanks I have done a full scan virus check and its clean as a whistle ?

Depending on the format of Icons that you need (png, ico) you could just use something like photoshop or gimp.


PNG icons ftw.

I even got rid of all shortcuts and tried to open it on a blank desktop and still it crashed ?

[grahamdvddvddvd]

I got a reply back from the developers of iconx and they did a verifacation on the software and i uploaded a update and opened it and it still crashed ! What would cause a piece of software to crash all the time ? I was using it when it first crashed, it had worked for weeks and then suddenly it crashed and has never worked since ?

[grahamdvddvddvd]

I noticed in the task manager that the physical memory was 523248 kb and avaliable was 3680 kb and cache was 14775 kb ?

First off, when exactly did this start happening? In other words, did you install anything else? It might be a conflict somewhere.

What operating system are you running?

[grahamdvddvddvd]

Hi running Windows XP and was using iconx for weeks then I was setting up some new icons and changing the size and it crashed and from that day its never worked since ? have not installed anything ? thanks

[Luke122]

Start - run - %temp%

Delete everything in this folder, and restart. Try again...

[grahamdvddvddvd]

Hi I did that and its still the same ? everything else works fine, I sometimes get the "active desktop recovery" screen up when i reboot, but its not been coming up today ?

[Luke122]

start-run

sfc /scannow

[grahamdvddvddvd]

I tried and it says insert Windows professional service pack cd, Not sure if i still have it !
