Kent Searight Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I have a client with a machine running both FileMaker Pro Advanced 10 and 11 on Win XP SP2. Both have been running fine on the machine for months but all of a sudden neither will successfully launch. Both applications exit after the FileMaker splash screen. We've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling FMPA 11 (which appears to be a successful installation), rebooting the machine, etc. but the problem persists. Anyone have any ideas? I've never seen this behavior before. I didn't know where to post this. Sorry if it's in the wrong section. Thanks in advance! -Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 but all of a sudden Try to narrow then exactly when then use the Appliation and System event logs to see what happened around that time. Probably some update or new software. The application log may also show you some clues as to what Windows reports as the underlying error. Typically when you see this behaviour, it's because there is already a running "filemaker pro.exe" process running. Use the Task Manager to see if that's the case. You can kill it from there and then try to re-launch FMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Searight Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hi Wim, Thanks for your reply. We've determined that when we remove ScriptMaster plugin then the application works again. Funny thing is that it's the same plugin that's been installed on that machine for over a month and the event logs don't show anything significant between the time when it was working in the morning to when it experienced problems that afternoon. I'll contact 360 Works to see if they have any ideas. Thanks again for your help! -Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Any java updates installed in that time frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Searight Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Any java updates installed in that time frame? Turns out some settings were changed in Eclipse and some of the Java files seem to have gotten corrupted as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
