Been working on a new strategy for an older system update, and left the strategy open in PacControlPro 9.3 yesterday. Upon arriving today (4.28.22) all programs were closed and the laptop restarted. so I started PacControl, opened my strategy and started working. I tried to open the I/O Racks to check a point name, and when I tried to expand a module to see the point names, the program crashed and closed. Never got to see the point name
so I tried again, and again, all with the same outcome.
I reinstalled PacProjectPro 9.3 hoping to repair any damage, still does not work.
I checked the computers update history, no new update from windows, but there was a driver update by HP.
Computer data:
HP EliteBook
Win10Pro
Version 2IH2
OS Build 19044.1645
Update causing problem:
HP Development Company LP
System 7.0.21.37899
Driver Update installed 04/28/2022
As of now I still can not see the point names of any I/O rack. I will try to delete the module and reprogram it. Anyone else having issues? Any suggestions?
That is exactly what happened.
Archive? had not done that yet…lesson for me.
How did I fix it? I finally could see all but one Analog point. So i took the old strategy, exported the I/O rack in question and Imported it to the new strategy. It asked if I would like to Update the IO rack and said YES!
and now it seems okay. BUT, there was the one point I could not get to, so I have an extra reference on the list that I can not account for. so I can never delete the whole rack (older version of project) because it will always have a reference. The whole ordeal only took an entire day…
#1 Always archive your strategy at the end of the day. #2 turn off auto updates
thanks for the reality check philip.
