Re: Unable to launch the application

Post by hibbs »

Hi all,

I just experienced the same problem. I have a Win8 convertible (Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13) for a little more than one month. It came with a pre-installed trial of McAffee antivirus and everthing was working well.
I changed now to KIS and I have the same problem. I tried to disable the KIS firewall, that had no effect. Disabling KIS altogether worked, CGoban could connect again.
Of course this is not a sustainable solution. Lter today I will try to fiddle with the KIS settings to find out what the problem is.

I got it. The KIS "Web Anti Virus" was the culprit. After disabling it CGoban3 would connect again. I have now added "gokgs.com" to the list of trusted sites in "Web Anti Virus" ->"Settings" -> "Trusted URLs" and everything works as it should.

Perhaps it's not only the "Web Anti Virus" that matters... cause i've tried to do same as u did - and nothing changed...

But it's clear that KIS is responsible for that - cause when I shut it down - everything works fine.

But when it's on - even if the "Web Anti Virus" is off - it prevents CGoban connection.

What else in KIS 2013 could prevent connection?

I don't know (since my system works now...)
If I were you, I would switch of each module individually and try.

KIS has a setting "log non-critical events", probably you can find a hint in the report...
Good luck!
