Hi Sally Could you also urgently let us have details of this workaround please? Our case is CS0140703 Thanks

Hi Thanks for your response, that looks to be the way to do it. I have decided, at the moment thiough, to move a couple of VM's about which will give me the extra space I need for a while. Chickens way out! Thanks

Hi We have a Stone Equinox solution with a few Virtual disk clusters that were setup on installation. We have spare disk capacity and I would like to increase the capacity on one of the existing Clusters but cannot see how to go about this. Is is possible to do it myself or does this need Stone to do it? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks

Hi We are having the same sort of issues as well. Does anyone know what the patch id/description is if Sophos do have one? Thanks

Hi We don't use any startup scripts for it at present we just install it using PDQ which also ensures that the Visual C++ Runtime is installed and then copies the correct JSON file across and also copies the examwritepad programdata folder across as this was a fix we needed to use originally to prevent the hanging. Do you have a copy of the startup scripts you use? THanks

Hi THanks for the suggestion, I do always logon a specific user to a specific machine as that definitely seems to work better. On the whole it works really well it is just there must be something fundamental that I am missing as to why we get this hanging app. I just can't spot what it is. Thanks

Hi We have had it happen on and off since we first started using it many versions ago. We currently are using 5.1.0.0 We are on a CC4 network. I have always thought it is permission related in some way but I have added all the exceptions to program restrictions that we would normally do. I have tried changing the permissions on programdata\examwritepad which I think is related however that does not seem to be a fix all but sometimes seems to fix it on that one occasion. Thanks

Hi Firstly, thank you for this great piece of software, our exams and SEND deapartments love it. I know there was some mention of this a while ago but I cannot find the solution. We often have Examwritepad hang on starting up. It may then start after about ten mintues or just hang indefinitiely. Generally we logon as an admin run it and then log off and back on as the exam user and it normally fixes it, although not always. This doesn't happen all of the time and it doesn't happen on every machine and I haven't found a pattern. Does anyone have a long term solution to this please? Thanks

Would I be able to play Adventure, Space Invaders and Asteroids on it? :-) I think they are the last games I played. Yes the original ones and yes I am that old!

OK thanks. We have tried switching the Windows Firewall off temporarily and also bypassing the main Firewall and it still showed the intermittent issue. It worked fine until September for us and we have had it for years so we are at a loss. We did move form VMWare toi Hyper-V over the summer so we are wondering whether it is linked to the multiple nics on hosts issue but our Hyper-V people are looking into this possibility at the moment. We have already disabled VMQ on the network card which is one of Saltos suggestions. We just keep being told by Salto it is a network issue of ours, not their problem. If we do get anywhere I will let you know. Thanks

Hi Did you find out what the cause of this issue was? We are having exactly the same problem. Thanks

No I did that a few months ago without issue. For us it does just seem to be since we did the Windows Updates.

Thanks very much. I have tested on a few machines and all seems well so I am about to roll it out all over.
