Just to let you know that my copy of Qimage is now running normally, although I don't really understand what I did.
I cleared out some photos from the images section and reinstalled like any normal installation without switching off my anti virus and voila! It works!

Thanks for all your comments.

In  very wet Alsace in France.

Well I 've tried everything I know, and I am not a beginner
New laptop. New Windows 7 family version originally installed;
Various software installed by myself. All function including printers using Word, Adobe PE, VLC, Tuneup.
Exception being Qimage, old and new versions.
It's not the end of the world since I can use Qimage on another pc, but not knowing the cause really bugs me.

I have tried all the actions explained, result always the same Qimage has crashed, Windows looking into it..................

Can't believe I am the only one in the world with this experience .

Or as you state must be some strange Windows file system.!!!!!!!  But I'm not getting any error messages from Windows!!

Anybody out there got a wonderful piece of software that can check things out in detail?

Good day to you and thanks.

Hi
 Mike,

I have implemented your instructions to the T. I would like to be be able to tell you that all is rose, but it isn't. Pressing the shift buttons with control always gives the same code. No change. Qimage  fails to launch.   
I'm going to unstall this version and install a previous version that I have 'think it's 2011' to see what happens.
I will also exam my windows files in detail to see if I can find anything odd. 

Hi Mike,

Having followed your instructions the code which appears is '11i'

Hope it helps.

Hello gentlemen on another hot and sticky day in Alsace France.
First thanks for time and help.

News my end is that I have carried out all the instructions given by you with the same message from Win 7  ie Qimage won't start.
Really can't remember the last time I had a problem like this with any software but I guess it makes life more interesting looking for the solution.

Anyway Mike, pressing the shift key has no impaact, so did as you said and pressed shift and control and the code is 11-win_prep.

Does this mean anything to you?

Right installed the driver for another printer I have, a Canon ip460. Removed and reinstalled QIMAGE and guess what!  Same negative result.
So in my opinion it isn't the printer driver, it's Qimage!
Any bugs with the latest version?

By the way both printers work well if I use another programme.
Time to go to work.

Have a good day.

Morning Fred,

When you say 'I set the 1400 as the printer to remember for Qimage' you mean when the programme is open, running?
Because I can't open the programme to do this!.
Anyway going try with another printer now.

I have removed and reinstalled the Epson 64 bit drivers for the 1400;
I have also removed and reinstalled the  q image software. I am getting the same reaction.

Really curious to know what is causing this bug??
When I say cheap, I have an intel sandy 3i cpu and 4 mega memory so it's not that.
Device driver manager clean.

I will try with another printer tomorrow, it's late here.
Thanks for your help

Hi Fred,

PRINTER Epson 1400

Have the latest download. Ultimate 2012;
Can't check what the relation printer Q image is because the programme doesn't start, won't start.
All I get is the box asking me if I want to read the quick start doc  that pops up even if I say no/
I have tried downloading with the anti virus off (although frankly it isn't this because I have never had a problem before)
Reinstalled same problem. ,,???

Hi, A first post from a newer user of Q image here in sticky France.
I had Q image installed on a laptop running under Windows vista and no problems thanks.
Unfortunately the quoted laptop 'A three year old Toshiba decided to burn out its mother board.

So I've bought a cheap Lenova running Windows 7  and installed the latest version of Q image.

Unfortunately each time I try to start Q image I have the message from Windows - Q imaged has ceased to function' Windows is looking into it and of course the 'looking into it' just goes on and on.
Have tried  reinstall but no change.

Well I've looked through this forum and haven't found any solution, any ideas???


Thanks in advance

;-)
