Running XP SP3 on "server". and 2 workstations. Version is SAGE ACT 2012 pro. ACT is fully installed on all. Database is shared on server.
Was running fine on one workstation. Then workstation stopped connecting. Had to click on Share Database again which makes me think something had upgraded or got changed on "server". Since then after logging in the page goes blank.
Then did a new install on second workstation and get same blank results. Only the "server" can be logged into and displayed.
Read all the previous posts related. I have thus far ...
Deleted and rebuilt preference file
Reinstalled SQL server on workstation
Deleted and reinstalled .net framework 3.5 on workstation
Ran Windows update for everything (did not upgrade to .net Framework 4.0)
Updated monitor and video drivers
Changed resolutions.
Recreated PAD file.
Checked that all are running same version of ACT.
A couple of times a small aquare section displays after login at top right that brackets the search option.
There are no application errors in event viewer. And none that match what has been posted.
What I have not done yet is remove everything and start over. I also have not rebuilt preference file manually, only through actdiag. There are no custom web links to worry about and we use Outlook for email.
This only happens on the workstations.
I have exhausted everything I've seen posted. Can someone suggest a new direction to try?
Follow up. Got myself locked out of the forums or would have been sooner.
After exhausting the few avenues suggested (XP < UAC) and rebuilding prefs via the tool and manually; I uninstalled ACT on the misbehaving PC's then reinstalled. This was not neccessary for the "server" as it hadn't encountered the problem.
The reinstalled workstations all regained functionality. Thanks for the quick responses and assistance.
