Re: XyWin stops working

["V G Ghyoot" ghyoovg@xxxxxxxx]

Don't know why it happens.

The only reliable solution I have found is to regularly use the System Restore facility on WinXP.
XyWin often stops working after another program is installed. Sometimes uninstalling the offending
program works and XyWin works again, otherwise I simply use System Restore.

If necessary I will remove all other software on my computers. XyWin is by far the most important
program I use. Have considered having a dedicated computer to run XyWrite. Then I'd have a dedicated
word processor, just like the first machines in the 70s and 80s.

xy for windows? does it exist? I've been using xyiiia in a dos window in a windows machine. Is xy
for windows a take-off on xy4? Can it work like xyiiia? Is it still available?

I love xyiiia but my old laptops have all died, and the new ones print only through usb. I got a
program that prints dos through usb but don't like the type, so I write in xy and copy into Word --
which is slow but the best I can find. If xy for windows can work like xyiiia, it could be my
salvation.

 Subject: XyWin stops working


 For years Xywrite for Windows has been working flawlessly under Windows XP Professional (with
Service Pack 2 and all updates).

 Now, for some unexplained reason, it has stopped working. (The reason has to be unexplained
otherwise I would know what was wrong). When I click on the icon, or run it by double clicking on
the .exe file in Windows Explorer, nothing, but nothing happens. No XyWrite, no mention of it in the
Task Manager.

 Now I know the program is ok, because XyWrite runs on another computer at home, the slower one
that my son's friends use when they come around. I have copied that across to my own computer ... it
still doesn't work. On the other hand I have successfully launched XyWrite on the guest computer
using the copy of the program on my computer via the network, so there is nothing wrong with the
copy on my computer. So it is not the program itself that has become corrupted. There is something
deep in Windows that has gone wrong ... but what?
