WordPerfect 10 hangs while loading application

[MISSpecialist]

Noticed that each time I close Wordperfect 10 application and attempt to open it again, it hangs. Took a further look at the Task List Manager Processes running and discovered the WPwin10.exe process would not be removed after closing down the application. In order to get the application running again, the Wpwin10.exe has to be deleted each and every time. Could someone please tell me what is going on, and how I can resolve this, thanks in advance

What build of WP10? What version of OS? How did you install (i.e., CD, Network installation, ??]. What is the security level of the user running the application...assuming it is win2k or later you are using.

Also, if this is win2k or later...is it possible the system administrator installed, ran, then copied that profile over the Default User profile? That can cause some major issues like the one you are seeing...

Well, how are you SUPPOSED to install the silly thing?

Simple. Make all users full administrators. Problem solved.

However, if you don't like Corel's suggestion (as we didn't) there are other ways. The best I've found so far is to use the Network Administration tools to set up a server-based installation (to which users have READ access), install it on the machine and not actually OPEN the application...just install it, then copy that profile over the DEFAULT USER profile.

When any users (administrator or otherwise) logs in and tries to open a Corel app, any additional files that are needed and not stored locally on the PC (where they should be) automagically come down from the server and complete each profile's installation. Works for us 100% of the time ... also makes for handy repair operations as you can then script automatic removal, installation, and repair (i think) jobs...but 10 is hella more stable than 8 or 9 ever was, so it needs TLC a lot less...
