Re: How to hide NetWorx app/graph in Alt+Tab list in Windows
1 year ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Sorry I am not sure why you are seeing the graph in the Alt + Tab menu. NetWorx graph does not have a taskbar button and therefore should not be shown when pressing Alt + Tab:
Re: Clean uninstall to fix unresponsive GUI
1 year ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
Sorry we don't know what's causing this. Unfortunately it's impossible to pinpoint the cause without having your computer with kernel debugger attached to it. There may be something wrong with Windows or its disk configuration. Another possibility is that there may be some third party software that is conflicting with the RAM disk. You could try this workaround still, but if nothing works, I

If running in PowerShell, please type sc.exe instead like this: sc.exe query spvdport sc.exe query spvvengine This should give us the definite answer if the kernel drivers are running. If they do, you can check where they were loaded from by typing: sc.exe qc spvdport sc.exe qc spvvengine

I would recommend installing the latest version (4.3.3) as we have fixed and improved the software in many areas. If it works well for you but requires a new licence, please send us a private message and we will issue one to you at no extra cost.

Re: Clean uninstall to fix unresponsive GUI

Normally you would simply need to wait a little more. Reading a 20 GB image file and allocating memory for it might take from seconds to minutes, depending on the power of your PC. I recommend waiting for a few minutes and most likely the GUI will unfreeze. If not, there may a conflict with some other software, in which case it's probably easier for you to simply use a different RAM disk produc
Re: Introducing lag in VR game
1 year ago, by Andrew in Connection Emulator Forum
While the Connection Emulator app was not specifically designed for gaming purposes, adding a lag is one of its core functions, among other things. Therefore, yes, you can install it on your VR-server or VR-client PC and add some latency to network packets. To test it, ping a known local device from that PC and you will see the response time change as you adjust the lag.

Re: How to increase the size of a RAM disk with an image
1 year ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
For app installation files it doesn't really matter. For example, if you install an app on your SSD once, from that time on it is only read, but not written. You can open the app many times, but no writing occurs, so your SSD doesn't wear out. Similarly, if you install an app on an image-based RAM disk, writing will only happen once, during the installation and initial setup. From that time

You can simply remove the current configuration by deleting the following folder: %PROGRAMDATA%\SoftPerfect\RAM Disk It looks like the reason for the frozen GUI is that you have defined two logon-time disks, mounting which takes time. I recommend waiting for a couple of minutes and then the GUI should start working again. In general, unless you have specific reasons for using logon-time RAM
Re: What are the risks of an inadequate RAM disk size?
1 year ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
It really depends on the apps using it. If the apps use up all the space, generally it would be the same as a full hard disk drive. Web-browsers usually take up to a certain percentage of the available space for their cache, so there should always be some space for temporary files. But it depends on the particular browser, what its developers made it do. If you run out of space, you may see

Re: How to distinguish alert messages from multiple WiFi Guard installations

Each email should have the computer name that it was sent from in its subject line. So, each subject should look like this: Quote WiFi Guard has found 10 unrecognised devices! Therefore, you should be able to sort them out depending on the COMPUTER-NAME tag.

Re: Single licence on one device with multiple OS

Yes, that would be fine. In a multi-boot configuration you can use the same single device licence for all systems installed on that machine, because only one of those OS can be used at any given time.

Re: Convert NetWorx 6 .db usage data to NetWorx 7 .db3
1 year ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
There should not be any need in a backup/restore cycle. Upon installation, NetWorx v7 detects version 6 database (.DB) and upgrades it to version 7 (.DB3). If you have uninstalled version 6 prior to the installation of version 7 and chosen to remove all the data and settings, it will obviously not happen. In this case, the following workaround should help: Quit NetWorx v7 if it's running. Pr

Most likely you are seeing identical files because your ISP uses a proxy that gives you an older cached file. Please try downloading it again using this link. I have added some random characters to the URL, so it will fetch the new file for you.

We would rather not rely on third-party packages. Instead I am glad to announce that we have fixed connection interruptions upon shutdown. Please download the latest build here, install it over and reboot. Active connections should no longer be interrupted when you exit NetWorx.

Re: Exit from NetWorx can interrupt data downloads

Latest version 6 release had exactly the same options as version 7, only named slightly differently: 1) When you chose a network adapter from the list, it would be the adapter monitoring mode. 2) When you ticked the Ignore LAN traffic option, it would be doing that and recording applications. Unfortunately it's not possible to monitor an adapter and ignore LAN traffic on it. Some earlier
Re: Exit from NetWorx can interrupt data downloads
1 year ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
That's just how application monitoring is implemented. There is a network driver that attaches to the networking stack for tracking connections. It is unable to track connections that started before it was attached, i.e. before NetWorx was started. Likewise, there is a tear-down procedure when the driver is detached, i.e. when NetWorx is made to quit. The tear-down procedure may lose a few
Re: How to use NetWorx on a dual boot computer

Glad to hear it's worked. So here is the updated instructions for anyone wishing to have a shared database in a multiboot config: mkdir Z:\Some\Folder rd %PROGRAMDATA%\SoftPerfect\NetWorx /S /Q mklink /D %PROGRAMDATA%\SoftPerfect\NetWorx Z:\Some\Folder Run this on both systems and there will be a shared database for all NetWorx instances.
Re: How to use NetWorx on a dual boot computer
1 year ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
This should have worked. Which folders have you redirected? Basically you need to do this on both systems in an admin command prompt, assuming the shared folder is on drive Z\: rd %PROGRAMDATA%\SoftPerfect\NetWorx /S /Q mklink /D %PROGRAMDATA%\SoftPerfect\NetWorx Z:\test_networx The first command deletes all data and the folder itself. The second command creates a directory symbolic link.
Re: Histogram in the tray icon looks like a line graph
1 year ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
I have just checked and the web-site has the correct file. It could be that you mistakenly installed an older download from your Downloads folder, or your Internet connection is behind a proxy server that gave you an older cached build. Please try downloading using this direct link and installing it over again.
Re: How to use NetWorx on a dual boot computer
1 year ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Yes, it's possible with a bit of extra setup. One licence is sufficient in this case, as you are using the software on one device, and the two instances of NetWorx are not used simultaneously. First of all, you would need to install two independent instances on these two drives. Simply boot each system once and install NetWorx in each system. Secondly, if you want shared statistics and s
