    Many thanks! I will reply to the email.

    Home and Work installations still allowed with one license?

    Many years ago I asked and was told that it was okay to install a single-license copy of Take Command on both my home and work machines, since I would never be using them at the same time. Is that still true? I haven't had it on my work machine for a few years, but I decided to put it on there...

    Take Command stuck at 78x21

    Thank you for the answer. I was able to get the Take Command console to work better by shrinking down the font of the default Windows console to the point where I can't actually read it. What I don't understand is why this doesn't happen when I open a CMD console or a TCC console. I can...

    Take Command stuck at 78x21

    I recently upgraded to a new laptop. It came with Windows 10 and has a 4K display, so this could be an issue with either change from my previous setup (Windows 7 and 1920x1080 display). Take Command always shows its windows size as 78x21 and limits the text it will display based on that. If I...

    Virus in latest update?

    That's what I figured, but I hadn't realized the update had been out that long. I wish the feature to automatically check for new versions was still available. I did check the all versions and old versions pages, but it looks like there are no previous builds of the current version anywhere...

    Virus in latest update?

    My company installs the Trend Micro OfficeScan virus checker on all their machines. When I tried to install the latest upgrade for TakeCommand x64 (v14.03.53) OfficeScan interrupted the process part-way through. Basically it deleted the new tcmd.exe file as soon as it was created claiming that...

    Lockups with TakeCommand v12

    That's an interesting question... After nearly constant lockups during the first few days of TC12 it suddenly became reliable. I still have the "Update Folders" option checked, but I have been keeping the folders element hidden. That might explain why it stopped locking up for me. Thank you...

    Lockups with TakeCommand v12

    I do not have Visual Studio, but I would be more than happy to try out test builds. Just let me know where to pick them up and I'll get back to you with results. I know this is at least as frustrating for you as it is for me and I really appreciate this. I will keep checking this space, but...

    Lockups with TakeCommand v12

    Nearly all of the lockups have happened with only a single tab open. I'm not aware of any other processes that would directly affect TCMD. There are plenty of processes running in the background, but none that should interact with either the TakeCommand window manager or the TCC command-line...

    Lockups with TakeCommand v12

    TakeCommand is now locking up almost every time I switch back to it from another window. It also stops responding during other routine tasks, even when it does not lose focus. I have no idea what I've done to make it worse, although it may just be that I'm trying to use it more than I had...

    Lockups with TakeCommand v12

    And to add one more thing... I had just restarted the window after a lockup and shifted away from it to do something other stuff without having done anything. The instant I clicked back on it the window locked up. It had not received a single keypress or mouse click since it started. All...

    Lockups with TakeCommand v12

    I deleted my TCMD.INI file and rebuilt it using the dialogs, just to make sure it was entirely clean. Unfortunately I am still seeing lockups fairly often. I just had three of them happen in less than ten minutes. There are a couple of things I have noticed that seem to represent a pattern...

    Lockups with TakeCommand v12

    Based on your suggestion I just re-created my TCMD.INI. With any luck that will eliminate the lockups. I guess it isn't too surprising if that file has gotten kind of strange. Mine probably had stuff going back to 4DOS in it. :) Thanks for the help! --Bob Q

    Lockups with TakeCommand v12

    I finally upgraded to v12 a few days ago. Since then I have had my TakeCommand window lock up at least three or four times per day. The window just stops responding and soon after that it grays out and shows "(Not Responding)" in the header. I have to kill and restart it each time. There is...

    %ProgramFiles(x86)% returns different values in TCC and CMD

    When I type this... echo %ProgramFiles(x86)% ...from CMD in 64-bit Windows 7 it returns the value: C:\Program Files (x86) When I type exactly the same ting from TakeCommand 11, in the same environment, it return this: C:\Program Files(x86) As far as I can tell, TakeCommand takes the...
