Win500 stopped working after latest Windows 11 upgrade. Anyone else have this issue in the last day or two?

You click on the win500 icon and it says loading and then dispears not opening the program.
Try uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling using the "run as administrator" choice. If you don't get that choice, right click on the desktop icon after installation and you may also see the administrator choice there.
If all else fails, roll back the update
I ran into an issue where it couldn't find the COM port. I ran WIN500_com.exe to resolve that.

I have tried all the above to no avail. I even downloaded it again from starrsoft.com and same issue.

right click on the icon and then run troubleshoot compatibility, if that is not showing, then click show more options first, then it should pop up.
This is a long shot, and it has not cropped up recently (unless I missed the comments), but several years ago, and several versions of Windows ago, DEP (Data Execution Protection was causing problems. I have not seen references to this recently, but there are a number of older threads where this cropped up.
WIN500 wont boot up
My Win500 wont start, everytime I try I get the message: WIN500 Scanner Utility has stopped working. I am up to date on the software, I am using Vista 64 bit. My WIN96 program works fine. Thanks, Jim

Win 500 has stopped working
fmon, Didn't we have problems a while back with Win500 with the Firewall or Virus Protection where we had to give it permission of some kind? I can't remember why we had to do it.
Win97 no longer works w/Vista
did you install the drivers for the cable (Vista version?), unplug the cable & install,reboot 1st & then make sure win96 comport matches what is showing in Vista
Do a forum search & you'll see several threads (most 10 years, or longer, ago) mentioning this.
Also, try an OLDER version of WIN500.

Nothing has worked yet, as far as getting win500 working. I installed and have PSR-500/600 working with no issues. But I like win500 better. Weird!

Thank you so very much Hiegtx! Win500 now works, culprit was Data Execution Prevention.This is a long shot, and it has not cropped up recently (unless I missed the comments), but several years ago, and several versions of Windows ago, DEP (Data Execution Protection was causing problems.

You’re welcome.
I thought we vanquished that gremlin years ago, but you found it had reborn itself.

You can also use Butel ARC500. Both ARC500 and PSREdit500 have a free trial period to determine which one you like better. ARC500 Basic is all you need to program your scanner. The Pro version provides additional logging functions.
I see you got Win500 working. Hiegtx and I both posted about the same time.
