Hi 'justice'!

After a week of running the Alpha version without any problem, I found the FARR icon missing
once again in the tray, after starting my PC this morning.
However the Task Manger showed FARR to be running.
I unistalled the program and have gone back to the stable version v1.13.02.

The Alpha version link that Mouser emailed me a month ago, no longer works, so am unable to install it anymore.
I have emailed Mouser for another link, but in the meanwhile, grateful for any further ideas.
Thank you!

Hi 'justice'!

As adviced, I unchecked the startup checkbox in both the FindandRunRobot and in msconfig.
I renamed the FindandRunRobot folder in the Program Files and restarted the PC
Finding that there were no instances of FindandRunRobot running in the Task Manager, I installed the Alpha version.
The program installed without a hitch and thereafter I ran it without any problems.
I restarted the PC once again. The program continued to work perfectly!  
Hooray, looks like you've solved the problem! 
Will keep you posted after a few days.
Regards....and thanks a milliion!

I have absolutley no problems with v.1.13.02 on my home PC.
It's the Alpha version that is causing all the problems! 
Appreciate your continued help!

Not sure if I explained my problem clearly enough 'justice'.

As adviced by Mouser, I exited the stable version from the tray and only then installed the new Alpha version
So how is it possible for me to be running both the versions?

Besides, the same procedure was followed for installing the Alpha version on the PC at work without any problems so far.

Thanks!

I am running FARR on my PC at work and on my PC at home.
When I am at home, the PC at work is turned off, and when at work, the PC at home is turned off.
I am the only user for both PC’s. I am the Administrator for the PC at home. I have a Guest account
which is permanently turned OFF.
In effect, only one account is being used at any given time.

There is no problem using the Alpha version of FARR on the PC at work.
And there's no problem using the stable version of FARR on the PC at home.

I have not fiddled with the software - I don't know how! 

PC at home running the stable v1.13.02:

When I start the PC with FARR set up to simultaneously start, there is only one instance of it running in the Task Manager.
FARR icon is also present in the system tray.
Right clicking on the icon, the ‘About’ shows that I am running v1.13.02

I then reset FARR not to start at the PC’s next boot up.
The PC is then restarted.
There is no icon in the tray and there is no instance of it running in the Task Manager.

So far everything is good!

PC at home running the Alpha v2.0.0.82:

I exit FARR v1.13.02  from the system tray,
On checking, find that there is no instance of it running in the Task Manager.
The Alpha version of FARR is then installed.
After installation, I find the FARR icon is NOT present in the system tray.
However, the Task Manager shows me that I am running one instance!
Finding FARR is NOT set up to start up in Start/Run/msconfig/startup, I check
the startup entry check box and then restart the PC once more.

Here’s what is happening after I restart the PC:

The msconfig /start up shows that the entry for starting up FARR is checked.
Task Manager shows one instance of FARR running.
But still no icon of FARR in the system tray.

I truly appreciate all your help and hope I've answered all your queries.
Thanks again!

I decided to try and install the Alpha version once more.
Accordingly I exited the current stable version from the tray, and installed the Alpha version.
I checked the Task Manager and found two instances of FARR running!
Here is the screen shot:



Yet there is no icon of FARR in the system tray!
Clicking on Start/Programs/FARR does not do anything 

Please help!!

I just checked the Task Manager and found it to show that I am running the Alpha version 2.00.82, when I know that I am running only the stable version v1.13.02. To double check, I right click on the FARR icon in the tray and choose 'About' which confirms that I am running the stable version v1.13.02.
A few seconds later, with the FARR window open, I check the Task Manager once more.
And find there are no entries for FARR in the Task Manager window!!

Jesse,

I continue to face problems with the latest FARR V2.00.82 Alpha!

As mentioned previously, I have installed this on both the PC's at home and at work.
Since I do not have any issues with this version of FARR at work, I will confine myself with the problems I face on my home PC.

After installation ( I exit from the tray first as adviced) the application runs without any hitch for a couple of days.
I turn off the PC each day before going to bed.
A few days later when I start the PC, I find FARR icon missing in my system tray!

Even if I try to run it from Start/Programs, FARR does not start.
I have to painfully uninstall, manually remove some folders and files related to FARR (Some are unable to be removed),
restart the PC and install the program all over again.
Then after a few days, FARR is again missing from the system tray.

No idea what is going on!

I've tried Launchy and othere similar programs but FARR is 'Farr' away the best! 
I love this program and would appreciate any one's help in resolving this issue.
I am now using the stable version v1.13.01 and would like to use the latest Alpha
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your prompt reply!

I suddenly realized that I have a Start Up utility wherein I have chosen to start FARR on starting the PC up.
I unchecked the 'start FARR on start up' box and thereafter I was able to delete all remains of Files and Folders
of FARR from my system.
Once this was done, I was able to once again install FARR v2 successfully.
Regards

Dear Jesse,

I installed FARR v2 using the link you sent to my email.
As adviced, I installed it without exiting the stable version that I had.
I did this on both my PC's, one at work and the other at home.
Here's what's happening -

With the PC at home:

FARR v2 suddenly quit working without any warning yesterday. Moreover my PC slowed down considerably. I uninstalled FARR v2 and restarted the PC which helped bring things back to normal. I then tried to reinstall FARR v2 and having failed to do so, tried to install the stable version. In both cases, the installation process stops halfway and I get the following error message.


I tried to remove any remnants of Files and Folders related to FARR from the system so that I can install it afresh but even this I am unable to do as I keep getting this error message.


With the PC at work

No issues so far! FARR v2 is working fine!

Grateful for any help in restoring FARR on my PC at home.
Best wishes

Jay
