Hello Jean-Claude,

I'm sorry, but on my older office computer (Intel based, WinXP SP2) GUS.exe produces an access violation error and can only be terminated using the task manager.

Hello Jean-Claude,

Thanks for your efforts, but I have the same problem as Xaver on my computer with Vista Home Premium.

Unfortunately also Acrobat Reader does not open the manual files (not English, not French).

Greetings,

Yes, it seems there is a bug. But it's a random bug.

Some people (as me) has no problem.

I'll investigate, but for the moment I don't understand.

Hello Jean-Claude,

After downloading again via the second link I could open the pdf files with Acrobat Reader.

But still GUS gives a blanc window that not can be closed. It can only be terminated using the task manager.

An access violation message says: "Violation d'accés à l'adresse 00000080. Lecture de l'adresse 00000080."

Hello Jean-Claude,

It seems to me that the tool tries to open infinitely many windows.

Thank you for your replies and comments.

I don't have the problem on my computer (Xp Home, SP2).

I continue to investigate with forum members in France where it seems that this bug happens nearly one time in two.

Perhaps a timing question.

For members who can't read PDF documentation:

PDF documentation is issued from a Works file and converted to PDF with Acrobat Elements 6.0

You can find HERE a new version created with PdfCreator
