  1. Found the problem, a bad value was entered in for cellbackcolor for this theme, i'll need to report this to get fixed with our next build.

    Workaround if you want fix this yourself...

    -Go to C Drive/Program Data/Human Computing/ComicBase 2022/Themes/Simplistic

    -open the Simplistic.xml file with notepad

    -look for cellbackcolor and change it to &Hffffff

    -restart ComicBase and the Theme should load properly

  2. The type of barcode the ID labels use is the 'codabar' type. The quick start manual won't have the setup codes for that, see if you can chase down the full multi-page manual or contact Manhattan support for assistance.

    We haven't carried the Manhattan for years so we can't provide much tech support on this one. There's also a chance the scanner may not be scanning like it use to, may be time to consider a new model.

  3. Workaround solution if you don't want to deal with turning off/uninstalling the back program.

    -With ComicBase closed, create a new sub-folder on your Local C Drive (ex: My ComicBase Databases)

    -move your working database to this folder.

    -once moved, simply double-click on your database itself from its new folder location and it'll load into ComicBase.

    -immediately quit out of the software. When you start up the software from the ComicBase desktop icon, it'll load the database from its new location.

    *if you use ComicBase Sidekick be sure to update the database list (Settings>general tab) so that your database is being accessed from its new folder location.

  4. outside of what i suggested, not sure what else could be slowing you down. What usually is happening when you start up is the program communicates with our server to validate your SN. If its lagging at that part then their could be an issue with internet (connection speed and/or stability). If you have any internet security like Norton, it could be doing some sort of safety check before allowing the internet connection which could be a cause too.

  5. -Is the problem consistent with every session in the CB software or it varies?

    -is your db stored in a specific location than the default?

    -Do other programs have a similar lag?

    -In general, does your computer run efficiently versus takes a few moments than normal to bootup and run various programs?

    Could be worth doing a deep clean on your computer like empty the recycle bin, defrag drive(s), getting rid of files/programs that you don't use to get some performance back.

  6. Just to confirm, the problem occurs with the CB2022 (build 22.0.0.1425)?

    Also, you have tried resetting your preferences (Setup Menu>Preferences)? Does this help after resetting and restarting the software?

    If the problem still happens, give Pete our lead programmer a call directly at 408-266-6883 ext 403 - the problem may be unique to your computer that he'll need to look into with you.
