So far, working for me on XP SP3.
A step up from the .62 I was stuck at before. Thanks!!! Now, how about doing the same for Calibre?.... --- Spoke too soon. After working the first time, next time I tried to run it it never opens. I can see the process start and abort after a couple of seconds. This is the same behaviour I was getting from 0.7x. -- PS2. Reinstalled 0.62. Then installed .82 again. Works again, but not confident it will keep working. Last edited by AlanHK; 12-23-2014 at 05:34 AM. |

Works for a while, then fails to open at all. I found a workaround: I installed version 0.62 (QT4) in another folder. If I just open that and close it, then I can run your 0.82 build for a while. But after several times, it again chokes. I can only guess there is some setting that the later version writes into the registry or some other place that is incompatible with my version of Windows, and the earlier version resets it. It's voodoo, annoying, but works. Is there a way to log the changes a program makes? |

No Jon, it's not likely an issue with his processor. If his processor didn't support SSE2, Sigil 0.8.x would just not work ... at all. That he's able to "workaround" the issue (even only temporarily) suggests the problem lies elsewhere.

@JSWolf - there is a lesson for you in AlanHK's post
CPU-Z is a much more direct way of determining the instruction sets one's processor supports than dithering around with some indirect Windows 8.1 compatibility check - besides it might say no for another reason - eg the beloved IBM Model M keyboard one uses :lol: BR |

CPU-Z and GPU-Z, those are the two tools I live by to determine all the specifics on exactly what CPU, RAM, and GPU is in the computer.

AlanHK have you tried stopping everything that you run when the system start and that includes services not part of the OS and then try Sigil and see if it crashes. It's very possible it's something you run not liking Sigil or Qt5. We've seen this sort of thing with Calibre.

It could also be advantageous to look at what DLL's are loaded (including versions and load locations), both when Sigil IS working and when it is not.
See listdlls from SysInternals. |

The "fix" is immediate so that seems more likely to be determinable. If I could work out how running 0.62 fixes it then I could automate that and do it whenever I start it. Quote:
Unless there is a way the monitoring program can start and report on what happens. But I'll give it a try. |

Maybe running 0.62 causes the Qt5 DLLs to be tossed out of memory with Qt4 so when you then run 0.8.2, you get a fresh load of the Qt5 DLLs. This is just a guess.

You could try monitoring right before you close Sigil and see what's there. Then you can compare the results for when it reruns to when it fails to rerun.

Not saying it will show the problem but it might give us some more ideas. |
