GSAK HELP!

[+Setan Meyacha]

I posted the following on the GSAK forum, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of activity over there and I need an answer asap. If anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated. I've already put over 300 waypoints in GSAK-one at a time- and would like to prevent losing them if at all possible. I don't think a simple reinstall is going to fix the problem.

From GSAK forum:

I installed GSAK, version: 7.6.2.45, yesterday and everything seemed to be working fine. This morning when I tried to start GSAK, I got the following 'EAcess Violation' message:

2.1 Date : Mon, 1 Feb 2010 08:26:23 -0700

2.2 Address : 009ACC00

2.3 Module Name : gsak.exe - (GSAK Geocaching program)

2.4 Module Version: 7.6.2.45

2.5 Type : EAccessViolation

2.6 Message : Access violation at address 009ACC00 in module 'gsak.exe'. Read of address 00000000.

2.7 ID : 06B2

2.8 Count : 1

2.9 Status : New

2.10 Note :

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

The only way I can get out of the GSAK startup is to end it through Windows Task Manager.

What is the problem and how can I correct it?

Looks like the issue was that the program is trying to "force association each time GSAK starts" it's an option in Tools > File Associations...

 

So either turning this off, or running the program as an Administrator (right click on the GSAK.exe file go to properties) solves the issue.
