Picoscope 6 with 2205A startup problem

Post by bjfessler »

RE: Picoscope 6 with 2205A startup problem

I have been using Picoscope for years,
but just lately I cannot it on my laptop,
Windows 10 Home,
giving a message on startup
or after 'Connect Device',

"Error while opening file 'C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Pico Technology\...\lastsessions.PSSETTINGS'.

It does not connect and is useless.
Please help.
Best Regards,
-John

To clarify,
I downloaded the latest software 6.13.14, but now I get an error message on startup or after 'Connect Device'.
"Error while opening file 'C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Pico Technology\...\lastsessions.PSSETTINGS'.
When the error message is closed, the device disappears from the selection window.

I have 6.13.6.3775 on another laptop, and the Picoscope works fine.
I am hesitant to update that laptop.

But cannot find any of the old software on the website,
and so I cannot use Picoscope on my other laptop.
Please advise.

I have answered on your email ticket.

For completeness, either delete the file that is referenced in the error message, or go to the download but at the final clicks link modify the version number 6.13.11 or 6.13.6
