jv16 PowerTools 2006 hangs

jv16

The NOD32 issue is now official: http://www.macecraft.com/news/112/

NOD32 is probably not the only issue here -- look up two posts.

Also, I have never used NOD32.

jv16 PowerTools 2006 hangs (not)

To contrast with this -- I did the following observations on my notebook when PT did not hang when started:

1. I let PT run for about two hours



2. TaskSwitch.exe (a Microsoft Power Toy) showed two jv16pt.exe tasks

     2a. When I switched to one, the main window had focus, and it was fully 
         responsive when clicked

     2b. When I switched to the other, the main window had focus, and it was also fully 
         responsive when clicked

3. Process explorer nt and task manager showed PT using 1 to 15% of the 
   single cpu for about two minutes

4. Then PT spiked to 50 to 75% for a few seconds -- 
   this pattern continued every two minutes for the whole two hours

5. During each spike, PT accessed an apparently random HKCR key and,
   at the same time, a key in HKCU, usually in HKCU\Software\Classes -- 
   they were not the same ones each time

6. No PT access to BackupPruning.dat was observed

7. PT had about ten active threads the whole two hours

8. PT could be ended in the normal fashion

In the News item, you recommend turning off NOD32 AMON. I find that this is not necessary. In the AMON setup panel it is enough to uncheck Scan on Open, Execute, Create, and Rename. You can leave the other 5 boxes checked. Then JV16 Power Tools will run just fine.

(Scanning Media is the important thing -- this is how malware will enter your system. Scanning hard disk activity is really just an extra line of defense.)

I use NOD32 with JV16 336 and so far I have not been able to produce this problem on my system (XP SP2 with 1.5G ram).

Hello All!

I was wondering if some member that is having this problem, would/could try something. It would be to remove the program completely and then reboot. Now re-install the program (BUT DO NOT ACTIVATE THE TASKBAR/TRAY ICON) continue with the install and setup, then run the program, close and re-boot. How does the program react now? I have my system set up diffirent for other reasons, or I would test it myself. I do not have this problem but I did find something interesting. I will follow up once I know more.

Have a Great Day! :

Sorry, I have too many operable versions of PT installed to make this a casual task.

Also, what did you mean by "BUT DO NOT ACTIVATE THE TASKBAR/TRAY ICON" -- Quick Launch perhaps?

There is no PT icon on my system tray and I didn't know that was an installation option. :)

Again Hello!

When installing the program initially the pop-up window asking for your choice of icons and sort. I do know that there are options, I only selected/checked for start menu and handbook entries/icons, No desktop or other entries were selected.

You my be very correct with "Quicklaunch". I guess I used the term from your forum post (Wed. Apr. 26, 2006 1) my apologies.

The main idea is for someone who did install with these all selected and is experiencing the problem to please try it without the selections.

I hope this helps and thank you!

OK. I see what you refer to now. Your reference to "Tray icon" threw me off.

All those items you checked do is cause the installer to place shortcuts in a folder in the start menu. They are never used for anything unless you click them. I don't use them.

The last five or six times I've installed a PT version, I checked none of the items and gave a fictitious start menu folder name. The installer did what I hoped -- it created nothing new in the start menu.

So I have already done most of what you ask. What am I supposed to be looking for?

But I'm patient. I can wait until someone else steps forward without a clue to do what you ask. :

Again Hello!

I am grateful for your response.

As for you having done a lesser install than I was reffering to your offer would not cover the request. But it does tell me that you experienced the hung start on JV16 even though you did not select any of the options or did you just wiz past the defaults offered, without a clue!

During Setup one of the screens that appears (Select Addional Tasks)

Icons

Default/checked Create a start menu icon

Default/checked Create an uninstall icon to the start menu

Default/checked Create a handbook icon to the start menu

Default/unchecked Create a desktop icon

Default/unchecked Create a quick launch icon

Now what I am asking is :

Did the members that are having the hang problem on start, install their program with only the defaults selected or did they select more icons.

Thank You for your Patience

Finally, there is a situation when it starts again and again. The latest version has this problem too.

You just should do the following:

1. Activate the PRivacy Protector, so that it starts when you start WINXP.

2. Create a job with the Automation TOOL which start when you start WINXP.

The problem is that both tasks look for the licence and one does not access it since the other does. Strange but true. :

I only solved this strange thing by choosing only one task of the two mentioned.

The error mesage can be closed and everything is good!!!

Does somebody have the same problem??? :|

I think it was just overlooked or omitted because it is rather rare, involving as it does two tasks started at boot time.

I had never done that until Gutz pointed to the problem.

By the way, when I closed the message and the third PT task, one jv16pt.exe process still showed in task manager. Process explorer nt showed it was accessing apparently random registry keys about every two minutes. It had no window or task bar presence. I killed it.

Hello Everyone!

Tulik Thank You for the response, I do have trouble explaining some things and with due reason. Please accept my apoligies!

Can I take a moment to draw your attention to JV16 PowerTools 2005. When it is installed on/in C Files\JV16 Power Tools and you you continue along and drop the License file into it, then proceed to work with the program for awhile and go back to the file on C: this is what it shows:

License File.xbin

XBIN File

3 KB

Default License.xbin

XBIN File

2 KB

Default Licence

BIN File

2 KB

Now if you were to look in the same folder for JV16 2006 PowerTools it only shows:

Licence.xbin

XBIN File

3 KB

Does this have any bearing on the Program?

Thank You once again!
