Re: Works 8 Calendar

The following is by no means meant to be a solution ; however, while you are looking for one -

I have noticed, on having a similar problem getting the; "...application must close" window with Win Media Player 11, that with that application, and some other apps that the "...must close" error message has appeared in - if you just grab one corner of the error window with the mouse and drag it right over till it's off the screen and out of the way, you are still able to use the application and all it's functions.

Sometimes the error that causes the "...must close" window, is quite small, but once the [close] or maybe it's the [ok] button has been pressed (I forget which it is) on the error window itself, just doing that will terminate the application - and *not* the actual error!!

With my WMP11 program, it has not been possible to rectify, or even diagnose the actual cause of the error message, that appears a few seconds after the application starts - every time. So by pushing the error message well out of the way I can still use the wmplayer as if it never happened (and before anyone tells me - yes I have tried uninst / reinst the application).

Granted, though, on some [other] applications, the error that causes the window to appear IS a severe one, and the application is all but frozen....

I'm running XP Pro with lots of storage, etc. After one of the recent
"critical" updates from automatic updates, my Works 8 Calendar, which has
worked for years, no longer runs. I get the standard windows error message
that works 8 has encountered a problem and must close. The app attempting to
run is wkscal.exe. Any ideas what has changed or was downloaded that could
cause this? The calendar is important to reminding me of dates in advance.
