Hi,
My UAC was set to default (now it's set at one level below). As for the OCS, don't know if it's installed (i did a default installation) but i see in the plugins menu that something about office is installed (and yes, i have office installed).
Just as a FYI the program turned on after a a full shutdown, so all is well know (i hope).
If you need any more info, please let me know.
Thanks for the feedback, that really surprises me...
Having the "Run as administrator" checked gives problems that it requires elevation?
Did you by any chance disable UAC (the "annoying" popups), this might cause issues...
Is the OCR plugin and Microsoft Office itself installed? I just realized this will start a small executable at startup to talk (or try to talk) to a 32-bit component (MODI) to check if it is installed and working. We never noticed this causes problems, but I will check... just in case.
UPDATE:
OK, so i tried to clean a lot of stuff on my PC (registry, uninstalled apps etc.), restarted the PC but Greenshot still didn't start. So i tried something else, i unchecked the "run as administrator" check-box, restarted the PC and Greenshot started, what do you know.
So in case someone else comes across this problem, just tell them this solution, maybe it will help them.
Thanks you for you help and i wish you best of luck!
Cheers!
I'm sorry, i did not explain it before, when i said i ran it as a administrator, i meant that i ran the installer as a administrator. Even now the program is running as a administrator, but it still won't auto start. As i said in the first post, i did not have this problem before a certain update. Will see what i can do, since you said i'm the first, it sure sounds like i tweaked something bad (ish, since it's the only program to do this).
Will return with a result later on.
Hmmm, could it be that you installed it less rights?
You really got me there, what I could imagine is to uninstall and install it again.
Maybe try installing as admin, the Geeenshot installer isn't very picky about the rights it gets but Greenshot might be...
Maybe your Windows setup somehow needs higher rights for some functions 😞
You are the first one to report this...
Hi,
After a fresh install of the program, it fails to start right after the installation. A 740 error is given (plus some other details shown in the attachment). It also refuses to start with windows.
I can open it manually, but that is a inconvenience that i don't want to deal with.
This is not the first time it happened. It all started a few updates ago (can't remember exactly witch one).
Please ask for any other information and i will do my best to provide.
