I'm writing a Picaxe progrem to deliver that. I just need to find the Lookup command for alcohol

As a follow up to my previous post, this morning I removed AVG from my computer and replaced it with Bitdefender. I have had no issues with PE6 since. I'm not endorsing or denigrating either anti-virus program but reporting my experiences in the event it is helpful to others using PE6.

As a follow up to Jack's post, I was having issues with PE6 hanging while opening. On another thread Phil determined the link to AVAST/AVG. Last night I removed AVG and PE6 immediately worked with no issues. Re-installing AVG resulted in the return of the previous issues. This morning I...

Hi Phil, Not sure how a bloke in Canada can buy a bloke in the UK a beverage or 10 of his choice but I would if I could. After reading your latest post I uninstalled my antivirus program (AVG, which I didn't realize was Avast) and the problem immediately disappeared. When I re-installed AVG...

Hello Phil and all. A new bit of information which may help solve the puzzle that I have experienced. The initial issue was that Editor 6 freezes at the point after "Loading Parent Form" with the splash screen remaining on the screen until I exorcise it by way of Task Manager. That was with...

Thank you for the suggestion but that was something I looked at after the fault occurred

Hi Phil, I went back through your #17 post procedures and ended up with the popup asking me to instal NET 4.8 which, when I selected Yes, took me to the download site. I downloaded and installed NET 4.8 and re-booted and now nothing at all happens when I click on the Editor6 exe file. The...

I don't think it is a Net Framework issue since it was asking for 3.5 when 3.5 was disabled. But we may be on the right path with your latest post, Phil. I have just done a fresh install of Editor 6 without actually trying the program and there are no xml files at the location you give. I...

Hi Phil, Thank you for all of your suggestions. I've tried them as best as my aged brain understands how to and I have had no success. Editor 6 still stalls at the same point after "loading Parent Form". My solution is that I have uninstalled Editor6 and installed the earlier "out of date"...

Thank you for the advice, Phil (amd others). I have just tried the NET repair tool but it hasn't changed anything. What version of NET was in effect when Editor 6 came out? I can try reverting to an earlier version of NET to see if that solves my problem.

This problem has just occurred. Picaxe Editor (latest version) has been working without problems on my computer for years. Sometime between Feb 5, 2023 (the last time I used it) and Feb. 11 something has happened which stops it from completely loading and running. I have uninstalled it and...
