Getting "WWL has to close errors"

Boofo · **Posted:** Wed Nov 04, 2009 3:29 am

I just started getting those dreaded "WWL has to close" errors since version 6.1.13A and the new version. I wasn't getting them before that. They seem to come at random times and intervals. Has anyone else been affected by this?

I'm going back to version 6.1.13. It is getting annoying now. It closes almost all the time for some reason. Whatever was changed from version 6.1.13 to 6.1.13A is what is causing it. here is what I was able to grab:

The only thing I changed was the skins. Are you using IE6? If not, you shouldn't even notice the changes because they are commented out for users who have IE7+ installed.

Actually, I use Opera 10, but I have IE8 installed. It only started happening with the 6.1.13A update and the new version. Before that, no "have to close" errors. Did the info I posted help at all?

Boofo · **Posted:** Sun Nov 08, 2009 10:01 am

Any ideas on why I am still getting the errors?

Mike Singer · **Posted:** Sun Nov 08, 2009 9:22 pm

Boofo, are you now starting to see that error message in Weather Watcher Live 6.1.13?

Boofo · **Posted:** Mon Nov 09, 2009 2:21 pm

Mike, I thought I still had a copy of version 6.1.13 but I must have deleted it when I got the new version. I went ahead and did an un-install and a fresh install of the latest version to see if that might clear things up. So far I have not seen the error, but it has only been a couple of hours. I will keep an eye on it and let you know if it happens again. I know in the past that un-installing the old version and installing a fresh new version will sometimes clear up errors and weird things happening.

Boofo · **Posted:** Wed Nov 11, 2009 5:48 pm

Mike, I have figured out where the error is happening (It is still happening). If I right-click on a link in a text file in EditPlus and click "Go to URL", I get the error and WWL closes. What is weird is that it doesn't happen every time. It seems to happen about 75% of the time. So far, that is the only place it has happened since the fresh install. It never happened in 6.1.13 and only started in 6.1.13A. This has got me really baffled now.

Mike Singer · **Posted:** Wed Nov 11, 2009 9:08 pm

Which version of EditPlus are you using?

Boofo · **Posted:** Thu Nov 12, 2009 12:46 am

I am using EditPlus 3.11 Build 463, the latest version.

Mike Singer · **Posted:** Thu Nov 12, 2009 8:30 am

I installed 3.11 and had no luck reproducing that issue. I tried opening a link 20 times in a row... some with Weather Watcher Live showing... some with Weather Watcher Live minimized.

I'm guessing the problem is related to IE, since both Weather Watcher Live and EditPlus are using IE. Try checking for new Windows updates and update to IE 8 if you're using an older version.

Boofo · **Posted:** Thu Nov 12, 2009 10:09 am

My Windows is up-to-date. I did it a few days ago. I have Opera set as my default browser and that is what opens when I click a link in EditPlus.

Mike Singer · **Posted:** Fri Nov 13, 2009 10:40 pm

Which version of IE do you have installed?

Boofo · **Posted:** Sat Nov 14, 2009 8:58 am

I have IE8 installed with all the latest updates.
