Module

Task Window

Description

When new tasks are launched on one workstation, the task does not appear

Sage 100c Standard Desktop is unresponsive or freezes

Example: Selecting Print did not show Print Options and selecting Company Maintenance never display Company Maintenance.

  • The task window does not appear and is not minimized
  • When Checking Windows Task Manager, additional PVXWIN32 processes may be running
  • Master Console will show the task as if open
  • Attempting to close Sage 100 desktop will display message that tasks are still open
  • Display may appear to flash, flicker, freeze, or hang.

Cause

Sage 100 Workstation is corrupted. Running Sage 100C on secondary monitor may cause this issue.

If printing tasks are problem, may be problem with the ODBC connection created during workstation install.

For Sage 100C with Standard desktop selected, the task may jump to an unreachable area

Resolution

  1. Restart the workstation

  1. Open Task Manager on workstation and close all pvxwin32.exe tasks
  2. Re-open Sage 100C in Classic Desktop View
  3. If using multiple monitors and Standard Desktop View is desired, Run Sage 100C on primary monitor
    • Note: Sage 100C Standard Desktop View issue is resolved with Sage 100 2017 PU1 and 2016 PU5

If issue persists and not running Sage 100C:

  1. Uninstall the Sage 100 Workstation
  2. Reinstall the Sage 100 Workstation
