Active Home Pro Loads and then a window pops up saying it has stopped working. I just purchased a CM15A directly from X10. My old CM11A finally quit after many years of service. I downloaded AHP 3.318 and installed it. I was not able to get it to run macros or timers, just turn on modules with my remote and manually with the software. That was is problem #1. Last night out of nowhere Windows pops up a window that says AHP has stopped working, Windows is checking for a solution, then it says a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Now when I try to run AHP the window opens, I see the "Loading Active Home Plugins window and then the stopped working window pops up. I have uninstalled the program and deleted the directory it creates and get the same result. I am running an i7 with W7 Pro, 12 gigs ram. Any suggestions?

  • I don't work for X10, I use it successfuly!

Locate the X10active.xml file located the C:\ProgramData\X10 Settings folder.
With AHP shutdown rename the file or delete it then reopen AHP.
This file has been known to get corrupt when a windows update is done.
Uninstalling AHP doesn't remove this file so reinstalling  AHP doesn't repair the file as it is still there.

That file has become corrupt on me many times.
It was only after playing with creating a N.A. version of AHP from the Marmitec version that I discovered a reinstall of AHP wasn't needed.
