    Vista problem?

    Are there any known issues over incompatabilities with Comicster running under Windows Vista? My PC recently bit the dust and I had to buy a new one - fortunately I had backups of my comics and cover images files, so I didn't have to start from scratch. However when I started using it I kept getting an odd error.

     When I make changes to the comics file and save them, everything is fine. But if I make further changes and try to save those, I get the following error message:

    "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately, Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'Version'. Key being added: 'Version'."

    There's no way to save the further changes, but there is a solution: after a save, reopening the file seems to reset whatever is causing the problem - so long as you remember to do it before continuing your work!

    Has anybody else come across this?

    Hi Gordon,

    We definitely have a few Vista Comicster users (including me!) and I haven't heard of this particular error before.

    Are you all patched up in terms of Windows Updates? That's probably the first thing to try.

    Hi Matt

    I'm up to date as far as I'm aware - I got the PC on Thursday and it immediately presented me with 28 (!) updates.

    Can you email me your collection file, Gordon? mabster -at- madprops.org. I'll try it here on my Vista machine and see if it's something specific to your file.

    The new upgrade of Comicster has solved the problem. Thanks, Matt!

    Thank me by filling out one issue and uploading it. Us Comicster users need to start uploading some data to make the online database more complete!
