#40 Installed on Windows 7 64-bit - not working

[Jorgen Sandberg]

I have installed AllChar 5.0.181 on my PC that is running Windows 7 64-bit. AllChar is running according to the Task Manager, but I can''t see it when I go to the Control Panel->Programs->Uninstall a program.
It does not work either. In Word and in Notepad, there is no effect when I press for example Ctrl, /, o that should give an o with a bar across.
What shall I do to make it work?
I have used AllChar for many years on a PC running XP and I really want to get it running after my system upgrade.

My workaround was to install AllChars.exe in a folder called C:\apps\AllChars5 (apps is folder I made for funky apps), which is a nonsecured folder to which I have complete access.

I used the free WinPatrol's startup function to add AllChars.exe as a startup app (there may be an easier way).

It's in the notification area and I can use the editor (when it wants to work).

Or else I have a link to where AllChars puts its data files C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming and edit the AllChars.xml file with XML Notepad (freeware).

Sigh!
