TC Hangs

[Chi Lambda]

A new problem with TC has just started every time I use it: it hangs for a minute when double clicking on the TC icon from the desktop.

My computer (Win98SE) is not connected to a network drive, nor does it show a path to a network drive in wincmd.ini.

What should I do?

Thanks for the help.

1. What happens if you start TC by double clicking on the actual .EXE?
2. Have you tried making a brand new short cut on the desktop?

  Hello !
• Do you mean that TC displays a network-icon, although none network is installed ?
* In such a case, you could try that follows:
Desktop >> Start menu >> Parameters >> Configuration Pannel >> System >> Network boards (2-click) >> Tick the box "Disable in this profile" (or so, I've Windows 98 SE in French!)
- Restart Windows...
• As soon as a network-board is detected, Windows installs it, and displays a Network Neighbourhood icon on the Destop...
- Now, many network-boards are built-in the mother-boards, that could cause the problem when none real network is installed.


  Kind regards,

Leif and Clo:

Thanks for the help, but I tried clicking on the *.exe file and the same thing happens. And no, there is no network icon showing....

Any other suggestions?

(I tried repairing and uninstalling/resinstalling TC but the problem continues.)

  Hi again !
• Have you an anti-virus scanner running as soon as Win starts, then sets minimized in the Tray ?
• If you have, please disable it for a test...

Clo:

That's it!

But I've had this AntiVirus (Norton AntiVirus 2000) program from 4 years, and have been running TC for 1 year. Why the problem now? Do you have any idea what I can do about this?

Why the problem now?

TC has changed the way it is runtime-compressed.

Do you have any idea what I can do about this?

Just exclude TotalCmd.exe from virus-scan.

It is still secure, because TC has its own CRC check and will terminate if it is modified

Thanks for the info; TC works OK now.
