ok, thanks, tax$$$, gonna give it a try... my other pc updated 100% on the first try, so not sure what went wrong with my laptop.

ok, so now I have java 7 u67 again... and the screen pops up that I can re-input my logins... and that's where it's stuck ... maybe I should just restart and try again.
As you know all pc's are male and they need to be "re-started" every know and then...

So what did you do to get it to work Christel? I tried updating today and had the same thing happening. It has been working fine for the last 2 years.

I have Java 7 update 71 as well as the most recent Java.

I also do not get a log in screen. Says it is working with no company selected.
If I try restore a backup from the left hand column it tells me error #3003

I have downloaded the program. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Get no errors on installation ... it when it opens the little clock just spins and spins, and then I can't close Easyfile via the traditional methods.

Something seriously wrong here!

Hi Mike C,
All our laptops had the same problem and we got it all sorted by doing the following:

Create an account on oracle.com and download java 7 u67 from their archives.
Although they say you can have different versions of java installed on your pc, I decided to uninstall java 8, so I only have java 7 u67 running. Double check this by going onto your control panel and open java to verify the version is correct.
Then I uninstalled easyfile 6.6.2 and I ran version 6.5.2 again (which should still be in your downloads folder).
Then I restarted my pc - just for in case...

Then I clicked on easyfile and it immediately told me that there was an update available. You then follow the prompts, i.e. make a backup of the data, then update - this is quite an update as it runs for a long time... It did prompt me to re-input my admin/user 1/user 2 info, but that's ok, as you just put in the same as it was previously.

If you don't have the 6.5.2, let me know then I can share it with you via dropbox.

Good luck.
Let me know if you get it right.

Christel

Thanks Christel - you are a star!

I read on another forum that it needed Java 6 update 43 to work ... but I tried that and there was no difference.

Downloaded Java 7 Update 67 and VOILA! - all working well. Didn't even have to re-install it! Thanks again.

Great. I'm glad it worked!
