OMG! My X-4 will not open
I click the icon to open, it looks like it will, screen flashes for a fraction of a second then nothing.
Anyone ever experience this before?

Not with Chief but with other programs. First thing I always do is shut down the computer for a few minutes and then start it up and try again (with fingers crossed!).

Thanks y'all, I have done all that.
As a matter of fact I recently re-installed Windows 7 and X-4. Was running fine today then about 2 hours ago I find that it just will not show a screen.
It just flashes a brief screen then nothing.
Weirdest thing I have seen on this computer yet.
I have subsequently re-installed Chief and...nothing.
Andy.

OMG!
I just logged on to post same thing!
My guess is that the version was still the betta release, and it had a time limit which just ended?? but even when i uninstalled and reinstalled it doesnt work. works fine on other computer which had update.
doesnt give message or anything though.Trent

If it was a beta version, the best solution at this point would be to go to your digital locker and download the final version and install it. Reinstalling the beta version would not help. The only other option would be to change the date on your computer to a week ago and see if Chief will start then - but it might try to check the internet anyway.
BTW, you can check the version by right clicking on the icon, go to file location - right click on that - open properties - details. The current version is: 14.1.0.39Last edited by Joe Carrick; 08-29-2011 at 06:46 AM.

Uh Oh, yeah, I am in the process of getting my mac laptop ready for the UGM and I cannot open CA on it. I thought it was the problem with the mac but maybe something else is going on. I will now go check out the PC to see if there are problems there..... this might not be good.

An idea to try if yu can not get it to work in time.
If you will have access to internet, you could try connecting to the PC remotely from the laptop and using chief that way. Don't know if this will be quick enough but I am going to try it tonight.
Just thought I would put the idea out there in case it helpsTrent

i am still at the office. it is my home pc not working. i dont go home for an hour and half. its 3:50pm monday here.
but i do not like my chances of it working tonight.
Were you guys running the betta still on your machines that are not working? or had you updated?
i think my computer that is not working had not been updated which is why i thought maybe trial period ran out and screwed it up without a message...
but i did not need to use X4 at office today so I did not use emergency transfer.Last edited by killa; 08-28-2011 at 10:01 PM.
