Windows Repair (All In One)
« on: September 13, 2013, 09:37:34 am »
v1.9.17 still has a problem with automatic computer restart. When restart is attempted, All In One repeatedly relaunches itself, filling the screen with copies of itself.

Under Win XP, there is no way of killing this, other than doing a hard power-off on the computer. Under Win7, Ctrl+Alt+Del will interupt the recursive launching and allow the system to reboot.

This happens with the previous version also, on the four computers that I have tried it on (two Win 7 and two Win XP).

Thanks for letting me know :-)

Do you try to close the program when it happens or is it happening when it closes itself?

I learned that if it gives me the option to restart, that I say no and just close the program myself and reboot it myself. However, this morning, with the lastest version, I just used it to do a TMP file cleanup, and it just jumped straight into restart and began recursively calling itself.

Found it.

A timer was still running on the repair Window on the form, so it was trying to update the form at the same time it was trying to close, and thus got stuck in a loop.

I have it fixed, before I put out v1.9.18 I am going to add a new feature.

In the beginning steps I have it ask the user to run chkdsk on the drive first. Well I would like people to run it only if they need to and save themselves a reboot.

SO I am going to make a pipe to a cmd window and run chkdsk on the drive, but only to check it, not fix it. And it will report if it finds anything and if it should be ran, this way I can let the user know if chkdsk is needed or not :-)

I think it will be a good feature to add.

Soon as I have it added I will have the new version out shortly.
