Hi everybody,
I just installed Deja Vu X Workgroup on a new desktop running with Windows XP. When opening a new project and starting to use the programme, I am getting different run-time error messages and then the programme closes.
Run-time error '0'
This is the error message I get after opening the Project Explorer window and trying to add a new source file to the project.
Run-time error '401'

This is the error message I get after opening the Project/Properties window and trying to add a new database.
Can anybody tell me what might be causing the problem?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Kind regards,

MODERATOR | Is the dongle installed? | Nov 18, 2007 |
Hi Olaf,
I don't use DVX Workgroup, just plain old professional. But I know that getting that dongle installed can be tricky. And the symptoms you describe sound like you don't have a dongle installed (or a code, or whatever you use in Workgroup to access your databases). Can you tell us any more about how you went about installing DVX on that new computer? That is, exactly what steps you followed?

TOPIC STARTER | Installation process | Nov 18, 2007 |
Dear Yolanda,
This is the procedure I followed:
(1) I ordered a new dongle from Atril for my new desktop (running with Windows XP). (I am using two dongles, one on my laptop and one on my desktop, because I found that changing dongles from one computer to the other sometimes creates problems, and I also wanted a backup dongle).
(2) I installed Deja Vu from the CD furnished with the dongle.
(3) I plugged the dongle into the computer.

(2) I installed Deja Vu from the CD furnished with the dongle.
(3) I plugged the dongle into the computer.
(4) A window with a message from Microsoft appeared asking me if I wanted to search for updates for the dongle. I clicked "No".
(5) I double clicked on the "setupdr" file in the Atril > Deja Vu X > Dongle folder
(6) I copied the "settings" file into the Deja Vu X folder.
(7) I launched Deja Vu and got the problems described above.
(8) I uninstalled Deja Vu.
(9) I restarted the computer.
(10) I installed Deja Vu from the Atril website.
(11) I followed steps 3 - 7 again but the same problem continues.
Kind regards,
Olaf ▲ Collapse

MODERATOR | How about contacting Atril? (This is beyond my limited expertise) | Nov 19, 2007 |
My guess is that it has something to do with the build. I've had trouble with my settings ever since I installed build 7.5.302 on my desktop. DVX was freezing while loading and I'd have to turn off the computer to get DVX to unfreeze. I kept installing and uninstalling, to no avail, until I gave up and simply left out my settings file. Now DVX loads all the way and even reloads if I close and reopen it without turning off the computer. But I don't have my settings anymore on my desktop. Dra...

However, unless somebody else comes along with more smarts than I have, why not just contact the kind folks at Atril and find out what's happening, rather than fiddling around with uninstalling and reinstalling, the way I did? In fact, the one thing that nobody has mentioned in the other DV thread running right now, where everybody has been singing the praises of DV, is what great service you get from those folks at Atril! And let us know what you find out, please.

| Default settings folder | Nov 19, 2007 |

Olaf
The default settings folder changed some time back. It's now no longer in Program files/Atril /Deja vu so there may be some conflict or other.
If you look in Tools/Options/General/Miscellaneous on your other computer (the one on which DVX runs properly), you'll see the default location. It's usually All users/Application data/ATRIL/Deja vu. If you want to run the several computers in a network, the settings file should be in that location on one computer and the other computers should point to that location.
HTH,
David
