New frontend version to try and take care of the conime problem. Looks like the conime process only runs on vista machines with language packs installed. This version (1.0.0.5) should close that process (if it's running) when the app closes.

thanks all....
I cannot remember what I did the moment before the error came up.. *ev.
But thank you all for looking at it. I MUST make backup of every file I create in the future...
(would be a great feature "automatic backup" )
Helle :-)
Halle you can use XX Tune.
Link to the download page is in Suvek's post http://www.talkgraphics.com/showpost...94&postcount=2

I don't profess to understand what "conime" is or stands for, but try doing a web search for "conime". It seems to bring up some worms/trojan problems.
I'm not saying this is the cause here, but it's worth checking out.

You're right Egg, and it's always worth using google to look for clues regarding unknown progams running in the background.
Whilst many of the results will direct to websites which alert to the possibility of a trojans or worms going by that name, often this is false trawling information which has been devised to catch people by frightening them into believing they are infected & therefore download some 'you beaut' software to fix this. That software is more often than not 'malware', and brings the user no end of headaches.
I come across this and have to clean customers machines of spyware, malware and rogueware from PC's every week..
It's also true that some tojans are developed which take on the name of a known and legit Windows file, but these are usually placed in a slightly different folder on the system to avoid the Windows File Protection.
conime.exe stands for Console Input Method Editor, or Console IME.
You will see this Microsoft file in your syste32 folder. It's been around at least since Windows NT as far as I know.
As Stan mentioned, it is often used when the OS is running other languages. It has also been responsible for causing other known (and patched) errors, such as causing Control Panel to stop responding.
sledger and Soquili: Ups......... yes, I did miss that.
Have now double clicked the exe file... and now it makes .bak files
thanks Helle
Is there other exstras I really should concider installing... or things you guys really are happy to have too? (can't live without things)
Helle .-)
No, this is another problem. Google: +vista +conime +locked and you'll see some non-virus posts. Normally conime stands for (I think) console input method editor. Something to do with languages other than english but since I don't run my machine that way I don't know for sure. BTW, I did not have the conime/folder-lock problem on my vista machine at all so it was hard to check since my machine never runs the conime process. I added some code to take care of it anyway.
