HELPPP!!!! ClonyXXl doesn´t work on my P3 600 with Win2000 SP3 PC!

Hi!

I´m new to this forum but not to the CD backup scene and certainly no to the PC world! ;)

But I have a problem that is really annoying me... :mad:

I´ve used Clony XL (not XXL), Clone CD 3.3.x, TCCD, Daemon-Tools, and other utilities that allow me to make a nice backup copy of my best games!!! :)

Once and a while I update all my software, when possible. So, decided once again to update CloneCD (now I have 4.01.10), TCCD (I think I have 2.5, the latest version) and Daemon-Tools (3.17, also the latest).

I also have ASPI 4.71...

All these utilities work just fine, flawlessly!!! No problems at all!!!!

But there is one that is really p*ssing me off!!!!!
I also tried to "upgrade" from the old ClonyXL to the latest and very recommended XXL!!

But for some reason the s*n of a *itch refuses to run!!!!!!!!! I install with no problem, but when I try to run it, it just gives me a (0x0000005) error and the aplication is imediately terminated!!! WTF?????????? :confused:


I´ve tryed everything I could think of... I installed ASPI 4.60, 4.71, forced ASPI....
Reinstalled ClonyXXL 2 or 3 times... diferent files from diferent sites (I thought that the file was corrupted or something)...

I have ECDC 5.3 Basic with DirectCD 5.3 (the latest) in Win2000 SP3 (updated last week), and this program as well as all others(except Clony XXL...) work perfectly!!!!

I´ve tried only v2.0.0.6 of ClonyXXl and not any other but this is the latest and it shoul run perfectly!! Besides I see that a LOT of people use ClonyXXL and certainly a lot of them use Win2000 and the "buggy" ECDC but I haven´t seen anyone with this strange error...


I´m puzzled...


Any thoughts or ideas????

Please help, I´m lost in here... :(

This is windows 2000 error message explanation.... This is the kind of error that occurs... Like if ClonyXXL would be incompatible with Windows 200 SP3!!! BTW I have the portuguese version. Don´t know if thats important...


Error Message:
(Application Error) The application failed to initialize properly (0xaddress ). Click on OK to terminate the application.

"User Action:
This is a Windows 2000 Executive STATUS error message. After you terminate the application, try running it again. If this message reappears, contact the supplier of the application."



Thanx in advance!

try to send your question to the programmers of clony....they may have your answer...

Don't expect an answer as Bxxxxj has abandoned his program and isn't creating new versions. Maybe their forum could help.

After a lot of trying it was a simple thing! Problem was lack of attention...


I had ClonyXL installed before I tried XXL, so after reading install instructions and warnings I realised that there could be a remaining clonyXL file (Clony.ini) in WinNT folder that could be interfering with the proper functioning of XXL. I serchead it, found and deleted it... And all my problems went away!!! :cool:

And now ClonyXXL works like it was supposed to!!! Awesome proggy!!!!
:D


Thanx for your help anyway!!!
