Uninstalling ProX8 for ProX9 Problems?

[SteveMG]

I just updated to ProX9 from 8 and was wondering if I can simply uninstall 8 with no worries?

Should I back anything up? I've backed up my website to a flash. Seems straightforward and I'll make a system restore point to undo any damage.

Thanks for any help/suggestions/warnings.

you don't even need to uninstall 8
the two should run fine alongside one another

[gwpriester]

Yeah, keep your previous version for a while. If you find that you have no need to use it any more, then delete it.

[SteveMG]

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep both on the drive for a bit.

[SteveMG]

Thank you.

[Big Frank]

ps. remember you can't run the two at the same time

[steve.ledger]

Yes you can, Frank.

8 remains stuck on loading if i've 9 running

What do you mean? Open DPX and then open DPX9. What happens?

What happens if you open DPX9 first and then open DPX?

Also, how are you opening the programs?

i'm getting the same in either app whichever order i start them:



looks like they are both stuck on loading
to remedy it i just reduce the app to the taskbar and then maximise
minimising to a window and then maximising doesn't fix the toolbar buttons display

they did not do this until i reorganised my toolbars
i have now tested this running them on their own and i see it is nothing to do with running the two apps
they both do it independently or run simultaneously

Also, how are you opening the programs?

i have both buttons on the taskbar
