#26000 Getting New ESword Edition Working

Posted by dbax on 19 September 2015 - 01:20 PM in e-Sword Questions & Answers

Thanks BH that was it -- one thing to note -- you cannot use "import" only the "open" will work, just as BH instructed.  I tried the "import" as that seemed more logical, but it failed so I went with BH instruction using "open" and it worked, it also restored all of the library books to the bottom scroll down menu as well.  Peace, Dan




#25998 New Download

Posted by dbax on 19 September 2015 - 08:10 AM in e-Sword Resource Installation

Hum, I just went to a new Laptop and downloaded, from the esword site, the latest version 10 of E-Sword and guess what?  I have lost all of my TopicX enteries.  I am thinking that this has more to do with the topic.topx than a single topic download. 

 

I have been looking for the answer myself, but from a different view -- I have lost access to all of my Topic Notes -- blank.  There isn't any entries at the bottom of the Topic window, none.  I transferred my topic,topx file over to the new install without any results.  All of the modules for the other windows, the Bibles, Dictionaries, Commentaries, etc.  all transferred over but the Topic Notes and those modules associated with that window did not.  I am going to uninstall and go back to the previous version until this is solved.   




#25852 E-Sword loading slow

Posted by dbax on 27 August 2015 - 08:18 AM in e-Sword Questions & Answers

Apparently there is not answer for this problem.  In looking back it seems this has been going on for years with no solutions?  I have had esword on various computers over the years and do not remember the first version having this problem.  It all seem to start with the versions that wanted to connect to the internet, whether you wanted that or not.  I guess they all do that now -- ?  I see most of these posts date back to 2013, and I know that I had written about this before that?  I wonder if something happened in 2014 that I missed as I do not see any complaints, other than mine, concerning this subject dated 2014 or 15?  Just wondering.  If anyone knows of a way to migrate Topics modules from esword to The Word please let me know.  Dan




#25851 E-Sword loading slow

Posted by dbax on 27 August 2015 - 07:49 AM in e-Sword Questions & Answers

My crying and complaints are matched with earlier postings.  These last post having to do with loading or not loading NET was not a solution for me, as I do not run NET versions.

I have this same problem the earlier postings talk about -- slow and freeze ups which for some is not so big a deal but for me it is annoying.  The creative juices get to flowing and I suddenly find myself bring esword up for a verse check or to add something to my Topic or to check a commentary and everything slows down, esword, running in the back ground comes to the front and grays out while it is coming to life -- I wait and wait -- the creative juices poor out into thin air -- finally esword rises from the dead and I am back in business again, until I begin moving from one pane to the next.  It has, on a couple of occasions, remained in the grave, and if you notice, when it goes into this dead zone the mouse no longer works and your pc is pretty much held hostage.  I had to remove the batter on my laptop to force a reboot to get the pc back.  If I could I would move to The Word, but I have so much info invested in these many years with esword, my Topic list and comments and Journal are huge, and necessary for my studies in cross checking, etc.  When was Visual Basic written, anyway?  I am using version 10, and if I can figure a way to migrate my personal files and into to The Word I would.  I have the paid version of Malwarebytes too, but it did nothing to speed up esword, and why would it?  It removes malware, it might speed up a slow pc but a slow esword?  If it did that wouldn't that mean that Malwarebytes is fining malware embedded in esword?

 

No, I think the answer is a complete rebuild.
