[Tuxpaint-users] Suddenly won't start in Win98

[Sal <s_a...@bi...>]

I successfully installed TuxPaint on a friend's Windows 98 machine
and the program worked fine for months. But now when they click on the
program icon 
on the desktop or in "start/programs/TuxPaint" to start the program, nothing
happens at all. 
I uninstalled and reinstalled the program but it still won't start. 
I was just wondering if anyone else has come across the same problem and if
so
how they fixed it? 
Thanks.

Hello Sal,
are there any other problems on the computer? eg., machine slowing down, 
excessive popups, or other programs that aren't working right? also, have 
any other changes been made that correspond to the time tuxpaint stopped 
working?

Hi Ray,
I had another look at it yesterday, I had the newest version of Tux Paint
which I installed after uninstalling the old one but it still wouldn't work.
The only other program installed recently is a game called Construction
Zone. The PC is slower at startup than it was so I trimmed the Startup
programs through msconfig, the PC doesn't have internet access so I'm not
suspecting spyware. I'm going to install and run a registry cleanup program
in case the uninstalled Tux Paint has left behind a corrupt registry entry,
other than that I'm at a bit of a loss with this one.
Thanks for your help so far, I'll keep you posted.
Regards,
Sal.

Hi Sal.  Can you look in the folder containing the Tux Paint executable
file ("TuxPaint.exe"... probably in C:\Program Files\Tux Paint) and
see if you can find files named either:

  stdout.txt
or
  stderr.txt
?

If so, please send the contents of it/them back to the list.

If not, then you may want to open an MSDOS prompt on your system,
and then "cd" to the folder containing TuxPaint.exe and run it there,
and see if you get any output.

Did the _same_ version of Tux Paint work on your system before, and
then suddenly stop working?  Or had you upgraded to the latest Tux Paint?

Did you change anything about your system (e.g., install new software)
between the time Tux Paint worked, and now?

Thanks and good luck!  Happy new year, too!
