FOMM Freezing

[FastBlackCat]

I've been using FOMM for a while, and in fact, it was working fine three nights ago. Now when I try to use the Package Manager it freezes and I can't get it to do anything. When I close it and try to reopen it, a message window comes up saying FOMM is running. I literally have to shut down/restart my computer to get it to work again.

 

I do have a version of FOMM (FOMM 640-0-13-21 exe) that asks for me to sign in to Nexus before I can open the Package Manager. It's after I sign in that the freezing happens.

 

If I have to uninstall and reinstall it I will, but I really don't want to, so iff anybody has any explanations on why this is happening or suggestions on how to get it to work again, I'd love to hear them.

I must be using the same version since I had the same problem yesterday. I have never signed in, I just leave the boxes blank and click "Login". However, this did not work, so I tried again and clicked on cancel and the package manager opened and I was able to use it. I think the problem is with the nexus. Ever since they made some changes, it has been taking a long time to get to the forums and to navigate through the sub forums and individual postings. I have also seen some people having a problem downloading files. They are getting messages that the files were just uploaded and you have to wait 30-60 mins and to come back in an hour.

This was for a file that has been up for months.

Thanks, M48A5! Would you believe I tried everything except that . :laugh: So after having read your post, I clicked on the cancel, and the package manager opened right up. (So easy it was almost embarrassing . . . :tongue: ).
