I have PSI 1.5.0.2 installed. My system is Win XP Home SP3 with all updates. Recently (within the last few weeks) PSI started crashing when I start it up. The PSI "window" appears briefly, then disappears. The PSI icon in the systray also disappears. I have uninstalled and re-installed several times. Norton Internet Security is running on the system. |

You are not alone , see this thread :- http://secunia.com/community/forum/thread/show/482... The workaround is to go back to version 1.5.0.1 ; link from other thread :- ftp://ftp.secunia.com/PSISetup1501.exe Hope this works for you . Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done.

Thanks for the help. I actually did look for a relevant thread, but obviously I didn't look hard enough. I installed 1.5.0.1 and it does run, BUT I'm getting beaucoup false positives. Guess I'll go read the "false positive" thread! | ||||||||

"false positives" are usually real ; whether they are a problem depends ... In order to help you further you need to use the PSI in "advanced" mode ; as a new poster to the Forum , here are some tips on using PSI in "advanced" mode (the link to advanced" is at the top right corner of the PSI page) :- Click on each/all the tabs and there is plenty of written advice about what each tab contains . If a "problem" shows in the "insecure" or "end of life" tabs , then to help resolve any problem , here are some instructions to help you first of all get the best out of PSI :- 1)use PSI in "advanced" mode ; 2)in the "settings" tab make sure that the box in the first/upper section is NOT ticked in order to have the maximum info available ; 3)tell us in which "tab(s)" your problem programme is located ; 4)in that tab , click on the + in the box at the left end of the programme , the page will expand ; 5)in the expanded page , tell us what is written in the "installation path" ; 6)in the "toolbox" section , lower down , the link "technical details" should confirm the installation path details ; 7)click on the link "open folder" and you will see more details concerning the location of the "problem" . If you cannot fix the problem yourself , you need to tell us (minimum) the "installation path" data for each programme that is giving you a problem and we can deal with them one at a time . Which version of the PSI are you using ?? Also which OS and which browsers are you using ?? Let us know what you find . Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |
