Turbolister keeps 'not responding'

recordfairs — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:38:36 GMT

I am having major drama with Turbolister. It starts, but when I click on an item to edit, it goes to not responding and needs to close

Has happenned 5 times in a row

Would anyone know why it does this?

No but have you tried uninstalling & reinstalling?

In TL try going to Tools at the top and then click on the Install Full Version Update.

That tends to fix a number of "glitches",:-D

If the full version update doesn't work then you may have to uninstal TL and start again, if you can do a backup before you start, I usually save that file to the desktop rather than the TL folder. After you have reinstalled create a new user, add a 1 or something so it is a completely different user file, do an update and then you can restore your items from the back up file.

If the same thing happens again then it probably means you have a corrupted file so try going through the whole thing again but use an earlier back up file. If you back up regularly then you shouldn't lose too many listings.

auctiva

Auctiva is a pretty poor alternative to Turbo Lister

This is usually a corrupted User Data file, so program updates will not fix it. Try that first, but if not fixed then...

a) From File menu, do an Export of all your items to CSV format

b) Start a new User in TL

c) Import the items back in again.

You can also fix it by exporting and then deleting all your old listings manually, close TL, then open it again and then importing them back in.

Another way (even easier) - delete all your listings, close TL, then open it again and then restore from Backup. Keep going back until you find an early date that isn't corrupted.

That is not "step by step" help, just the methodology to fix this problem.

The bottom line is that you need to get the listings out of TDB format, then save them back in again.

I nearly decided on Auctiva, I think the only thing that put me off it was sometimes their pages take a while to load

I am thinking of using alternatives while I catch up on some listings when I have some time off
