1.51 Broken

[happyslayeruk]

Having use GB since beta I've been very happy with the software, even a few bugs like 1.5 not remembering certain services and apps was no big deal as it only took a few seconds to redo. Now however 1.51 will not restart about 50% of the services when I go back to normal mode.

 

Services and apps that do not restart include sidebar. PowerDVD 8 remote control service, Acronis task manager and various others. The only way to get them back is to manually start each exe or start the service from the service manager, although restarting the PC is quicker.

 

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the problem still remains.

 

It is a shame as I loved GB but have now uninstalled it. Will check later to see if I can find an older version to go back to.

 

BTW i am using Win7 64

I am having the same issue, and the services that do restart don't restart in the tray, the programs pop up on the destop and I have to minimize them to the tray. I could live with the not remembering but I have to restart the computer to restart all of the services. I really like the Game Booster program please fix this soon.

 

Thanks

I've got no problems with GB 1.51 nor do most people, so chances are that something is wrong with your settings. I would suggest making sure that you do not close "explorer.exe" when switching to game mode.

[happyslayeruk]

Even with explorer.exe left running the problem persists. GB 1.51 will still not reopen most apps/services after switching back to normal mode.

 

Sidebar/Gadgets I could live with as it's easy to reopen from the desktop but programs such as Objectdock , PowerDVD remote service, and Acronis task Scheduler plus the others are a pain to find and start manually so it's quicker to restart the PC.

 

I have rolled back to 1.5 and all is working again as before, just wish I could get rid of the annoying free update pop-up now.

 

Anyway V2 beta is apparently out this month so I can wait :grin:

Hi happyslayeruk (and others with problems)

Has a "Clean Install" been tried?

Sometimes leftovers from the previous install can be the cause of strange problems after an install "over the top".

Procedure of a clean install is explained in Usage of IObit products - links in my signature.

Hi solbjerg

 

Yes Problems first appeared when I upgraded, I then did a complete uninstall using iobit uninstall :smile: then reinstalling and problems still remain.

 

I'm happy to stick with 1.5 for now and will wait for V2 beta :-)

Hi happyslayeruk

It is a wise move to check if the program folder is deleted or empty after an uninstall - even with good uninstall programs.

But nice to meet a prudent and intelligent member :-)

Folder was deleted after uninstall, I also deleted all references to GB in the registry but problems still persist after installing V1.51. Everything works perfectly when I revert back to V1.5.

 

As I said before I'll stick with V1.5 until V2 beta.

 

Just thought I'd add that I still love the program, the bugs could be down to my system but maybe not as V1.5 works perfectly. :-D

Sagacious approach :-)

I also have an issue with 1.51 but for me the issue is that when Gamebooster minimizes to tray it just closes in stead of opening the tray version

[solbjerg]

Hi OrangeKing

That seems to work like that by me too

Do you have ASC installed too? Do you have Gamebooster configured to start with start of Windows?

The settings in Gamebooster seems to leave something to be desired.

Thanks for noticing!
