pictview process not starting; curious intermittent phenomenon
Posted: 11 Sep 2020, 11:59
Sirs,
Yesterday i fixed the Windows 10 "upgrade" that aimed to "protect" me by removing the SAMBA-like protocol SMB1 (with the usual excuse that it was for my own benefit.) But I use this to connect with my storage server NAS boxes which neveer face the public internet, only an internal house net, so I did a long and hard battle with google and MS to find the "run optional features.exe" and succeeded.
BUT pictview stopped working even though i used an ethernet connection to speed up communication and be certain to avoid Wi-fi CODEC troubles.
Now I have reloaded version 4 salamander to repair the whole installation, f3 worked once (on a big psd picture file), but then suddenly stopped working once I switchded directories. Back to the local disk with ethernet off, still no pictview. The general program starts, in a separate window, but states that pictview process does not start.
After a time Pictview behaved as usual both over ethernet and from the local disc. very strange.
Anyone else experiencing misbehaving W10 influencing Pictview installations ?
p.
