Strobe Utility does not launch.

Post by Walde » 08 Aug 2018, 06:33

Hey!

Whenever I try to launch the Strobe Utility, I get the following error:
Image
I cannot find any window or process linked to the Strobe Utility. Reinstalling the program didn't work, nor did rebooting. The Strobe Utility version is 2.0.9.

My monitor is BenQ Zowie XL2411P.

You can PM the author of the tool, I guess:

Usually mark[at]blurbusters.com is the best way. But I'll address it here.

1 -- Do you have Strobe Utility in your Windows startup? If so, is there a Strobe Utility window running in a hidden area (e.g. located off desktop) or in another Windows login? (Unlike for ToastyX or LightBoost utilities and others, it's not necessary to put Strobe Utility into the Startup)

2 -- Theoretically another app might unexpectedly mis-detect another window as Strobe Utility.
Try restarting in Safe Mode; does it run? If it works, then there may be a bug.

Thank you for your reply!

I double-checked if the app was somehow in my Windows startup, but no. So I tried launching it using the safe mode - And it launched just fine. :o
