coming from the errorlog.txt. Machine is running XP. When this error appears ffxp wont perform any connections to sites at all. Sometimes it appear and sometimes not. I cant see that i have anything running which should interrupt it in any way either.

Ofcourse copy is a registered version. First error is when initially booting ffxp and second one appears when trying to connect to a ftp.

Thnx in advance for any help.

I've noticed Flash wont connect to anything at all a couple times too, exiting and restarting has fixed it.

Wonder if thats the cause, never bothered to check the error.log, I'm using XP too.

[bigstar]

I have sent you an email with further information.

[istrebitjel]

Hi,
I got exactly the same error (also on XP). FlashFXP hangs so bad, that it won't even react to exit-messages.

The strange thing is, that it works perfectly on my other XP machine....

I tried Compitability mode and an older Version of FlashFXP....all the same.

Contents of errorlog.txt are the same as above with micro. Microsoft always wants a copy of FlashFXP, when it hard aborts *g

PS: Just tried beta v1.4 build 810 - same error :(

I have attached a extended debug version of FlashFXP build 810

This is an extended debug release of FlashFXP.

This release is not intended for normal usage and should only be used when a problem is known and more information is needed to isolate the problem.

A debug.log will be created in your FlashFXP folder. Once you have been able to reproduce the problem, send an email to support@flashfxp.com and attach a copy of your debug.log.

Thank You,

Unless you are encounting a specific problem that is constantly reproduced DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS ZIP.

is there a fix for this? winsock does not have a problem, and other ftp programs / cmd ftp still functional.

im running windows xp pro-

i've attempted reinstalling flash fxp- to no avail-

[Fusion]

Illegal copies of ffxp can display this behaviour.

[jayhawk]

How would it be an illegal copy if reinstalling did the same thing, even if it was cracked, which it's not- removing the program or installing to another drive/folder, should not have the same affects- as it is a different executable.

[Fusion]

Well, let's do this by the spoonfulls. If there's been a pirated version on the machine in the past, you risk getting the same stuff.

[bigstar]

Ok guys calm down.. No one appears to be using a pirated copy..

The error you have encounted appears to be specific to WinXP, most users do not encounter the problem, while a few people have emailed me about it.

I don't know exactly what causes it but I suspect it has to do with a custom WinXP setting that is normally not set by default. The actual error is specific to windows explorer shell icons. I have tried using custom icon sizes and that doesn't appear result in this error.

Can you think of anything special about your WinXP configuration that might explain the problem?

[jayhawk]

let's assume for 3 seconds that everyone that uses this program doesn't use a pirated copy, let's also get crazy and attempt to grasp the fact that not everyone that posts here is a complete moron.

with that said:

I have removed every entry remotely related to this program from the registry, then reinstalled it. only to find the same error.

If this forum is not to help people and better the product? what is it for?

[jayhawk]

it was working fine- i don't believe i've made any changes specifically that would harm the installation.

I have the trial version running fine on my box at work which is also running windows xp-

I don't think it is specific to xp - but i would think uninstalling- reinstalling or moving a working copy from another location would work

Actually they don't. This is an actual real life bug.

All my current reports appear to be WinXP specific, which is why I am asuming that. Perhaps sometime down the road that may change.

Let me be a bit more clear.

The error is generated when FlashFXP attempts to make a copy of the windows explorer image list (shell icons) so it can display the icons within FlashFXP, somewhere along the way it errors.

The error as we know it is 'Icon image is not valid' which would lead me to believe the user was using a non-standard icon size which results in an error, however when I changed my settings to use some other size it did not result in an error.

Maybe it has to do with icons w/ alpha channels. I don't know.

There are no setting in FlashFXP that will solve the error, No matter where you have FlashFXP installed it will still error because the FlashFXP settings are not causing the error. The error is being caused by a windows XP setting.

most information will be posted when it becomes available.

[jayhawk]

is it possible to copy the shell icons from 2000 to the fxp folder- and have ffxp look specificly within it's own folder for them? rather than searching for the default shell icons?

[bigstar]

no that's not possible. It's also much more complex then that.

[bigstar]

I have attached a test program to this message, It will attempt to reproduce the problem and hopefully allow me to determine the exact cause.

When you run the program you will see a visual display of results, and a test.log will be generated in the directory you ran it from.

In your reply include the test.log or copy it into the message.

Thanks :)

[istrebitjel]

Yes, it's true, I customized Windows XP a great deal (using Xteq's X-Setup ( http://www.xteq.com ) - great free tool)....


now I tried a couple of settings, which deal with icons and explorer, but no change so far...I'll keep on searchin'


Regards,

Marco aka Istrebitjel

[MxxCon]

wild guess, but perhaps you could try deleting your icon cache.
tweakui from powertoys xp can do that.

[istrebitjel]

E.g. I tried the "show icons with 256 colors if possible" switch...
If you change this setting all icons are rebuilt anyway.

[bigstar]

Has anyone tried the icontest.zip that i posted several messages ago? If anyone who is having this problem could run it and give me the results, more than likely I can fix it. Right now it's the best chance you guys have of getting FlashFXP to work on your PC.

I run Windows XP with the classic windows theme and get the error after installing FlashFXP 1.4 (build 1800):

Icon image is not valid

FlashFXP hangs and has to be shutdown using the Task Manager.

[bigstar]

You passed the test and I still don't know the cause of that error :confused:

[bigstar]

It appears icontest.zip didn't help..

I have created a new debug version of FlashFXP.

A debug.log will be created in your FlashFXP folder. Containing detailed information about each error. This version of FlashFXP is slighly different then previous releases in that an error may occure and it does not display in the status window, you will have to check the debug.log. Once you have been able to reproduce the problem, send an email to support@flashfxp.com and attach a copy of your debug.log.


Thank You,

[istrebitjel]

sorry, nothing worked. This new version didn't even produce an errorlog.

also, the newest beta didn't help. :confused:

At least ftp works and I don't have to terminate the program via the taskmanager.

Are you still missing the file icons?

The test build and the latest public beta are identical, one has extra debuging while the other doesn't.

[istrebitjel]

Sorry, no icons, yet.

I forgot to ask this earlier, do you see folder icons in the Site Manager?

Also did you ever send me results from the icontest.zip? I believe the only results I saw were from daftpunknl

[istrebitjel]

Hello Bigstar!

No, I don't see any Icons, not in the Icontest, nor in FlashFXP (not even folders).

I didn't send you the output from the test, as it is the same as daftpunknl's and you said it wouldn't help....

Regards,
Marco

[bigstar]

Sorry I got so much on my mind. I cant think straight let alone remember something.

Here's a long shot.. do you have a c:\ drive?

[bigstar]

AH HA!

Problem fixed. In all previous versions you could pass c:\ and it was valid even if c:\ doesn't exist. Many demo's/example's i've seen hard code c:\ now in winXP all those with a hardcoded c:\ will fail if the user does not have a c:\ drive.

New public beta released soon.

[istrebitjel]

Yes, that's it :)

I deleted my primary partition prior to installing XP...the XP setup didn't create one, so there is no C-Drive *g

As I am sure, you'll soon put up the new beta, I already say thank you - that's extraordinary customer service!

Regards,
Marco

[theman07]

ok i also have no C: drive so am awaiting the new beta


:))))

easier than upgrading, just map one of your local hard drives as a network drive C :)

[bigstar]

Easier? Perhaps.. But you miss out on all the other bug fixes.
