************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I am using Windows XP Professional SR3.

Update:

I uninstalled and reinstalled.

Now I can start background indexer without crash, but there seems to be no noticeable activity.

How can I know whether the background indexing is happening ?

Thanks.

You should see the background indexer as symbol in the system tray. Right clicking on it should give you a context menu. Choosing "status" from it will show how often the background indexer updated the index. That count should increase when you move files around in your runtimes or add/remove files from them.
When adding a file to the runtime you should be able to find it via search without having to synchronize, so that's another way to see if the background indexer is working.

UPDATE:

Since my last post, I have monitored the taskbar tray icon for Background Indexer.  I had AL 1.8.1.2 open and I was also re-organising some runtimes, and adding new runtimes.

My observation is that the taskbar tray icon does not report any updating.

When I instruct AL to run a synchronisation, the background indexer is halted.

Then, the computer starts to respond slowly.  I monitored Memory Usage using Windows Task Manager, and Advance Library appears to be taking up more and more memory until the machine hangs.

Therfore, I have uninstalled the latest version 1.8.1.2 and reverted to version 1.8.0.7. 

I also deleted the XML files inside my profile under Documents and Settings sub-folder.  Now re-building a new Synchronisation file set.

I don't know why AL 1.8.1.2 is not working correctly for me.

I am encountering the same issue with this version.  It was installed on a brand now PC running XP Pro and generated the error when running the Synchronise.

Tried the background synch and this would start but no changes would be made to the library content (it stayed empty after I had installed some content).

No idea why this is occurring and the previous version is giving me issues as well (not synching either).

[Dizzi]

Please mail me the library_config.xml and RuntimeSettings.xml from the AL settings folder.

Hi Dizzi,

I've emailed you the files you requested, hope you can give me some idea of how to resolve this as after only a few days I am really missing using AL after having to go back to D|S interface.
