   //Hello Alan,//   
      
   on *10.04.22* at *11:32:40* You wrote in Area *WINPOINT*   
   to *ALL* about *"Locked up install ver 4"*.   
      
    AB> When I install version 4 of Winpoint on my 64 bit Windows 10 machine I   
      
   Actually for WP its version fourhundredsomething (for historical reasons), as   
   I do no longer do major releases (as in the 90s), but publish based on the   
   internal version number, which (for consistency) remains at the fast counting   
   scheme I invented for it in the 90s.    
      
    AB> end up with all the buttons to the left greyed out.    
      
   What does that mean? Screenshot?   
      
    AB> The software sometimes is locked to the point I have to reboot.   
      
   ?   
      
    AB> Polling is very limited, like 3 lines.   
      
   What means 3 lines?   
      
    AB> I have uninstalled and upraded, downgraded and reinstalled countless   
    AB> times, to no avail.   
    AB> Thoughts?   
      
   As usualy: Funny antivirus software? I once had a strange issue, where certain   
   software stopped working on my machine because Acronis True Image (wrongly)   
   classified its behavior as ransomware ... (not that I think WP would fit that   
   pattern).   
      
    AB> Why does this happen to me?
