Spent time with JPG trying to figure this out. Thank you for the help.

 

I found the problem. Windows was last updated on 8/2016 so I let it check for updates. Four new ones were downloaded and installed. After restarting, esword works fine and was able to download a bible. 

 

I guess there is another fix for those like me. Update windows!!

 

Thank you all for the help.

It is installed in the Program Files (x86) and I have tried installing it in the non (x86) program files. It didn't work their either.

The second drive is running Win 7 32-bit and when the computer boots it defaults to the drive I normally use. The second drive is older and very rarely used. I can switch to that drive at the beginning if I want. I installed the latest version on that drive after finding out esword would not work on the main drive. Going directly to esword.exe in the file will not open the program either.

Windows 7 Home Premium Intel I5 2500K CPU @ 3.30 GHZ 8GB Ram 64-bit

 

Printer works fine, can print and scan. 

 

Esword 10.4.0 works fine

 

Deleted anti virus re installed newest version of esword and still won't run.

 

Esword is the only  program I have issues with and will not run. 

Esword does not run properly on the laptop using Win 10 because none of the downloads in the download section of the program will highlight so I can download them.

 

If I'm going to compare the laptop to anything it would be the second drive on the desktop that is Win 7 32-bit. Esword runs properly on that drive and all downloads are available. I downloaded the ESV bible this morning and it loaded into the program on restart. It is the drive on the desktop that is Win 7 64-bit that does not work. 

 

I ran CHKDSK as recommended from the command prompt in safe mode and no issues or bad files were found, on the Win 7 64-bit drive that the program won't open up on.

And the version is 11.06. 

 

Revo Uninstaller found left over files and they were deleted. With a fresh install, installing and running as administrator  and changing permissions it still won't open. 

Here is an update. I have been trying to run this on Win 7 64 bit. I have another drive on my computer that is Win 7 32 bit and the program downloaded and runs fine. In fact, it even allows me to download bibles, commentaries, etc. Esword on my laptop with Win 10 runs, but the downloads are not highlighted, they are shown as black with only a few downloads available. 

 

More fuel for the fire. 

Thank you for the thread Katoog, I found it earlier and tried what was in there. Still doesn't work. 

I have had Esword running in the past but for some reason it will not open anymore. I have tried running as an administrator. Un-isnstalled and reinstalled, and received an email from Rick Meyers with this: 

 

Delete the following key from the Windows Registry, *then* start e-Sword:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\e-Sword

 

And it still will not open. I have looked into the antivirus program and Im not having much luck with that either. It runs on my laptop with Win 10, but on my PC with Win 7 when I click on the icon to open nothing happens. I have checked the permissions also and they are set to "allow".

 

Does someone have a solution?

 

Thank  you
