I am experiencing a few problems with the recently updated version of
WS6. When I open a new concord, wordlist or keyword window, the menu
bar flickers for about 30 seconds before becoming visible. Also,
although I have entered my validation key, when I try to run the
keyword function I get 10 or so keywords and then a message saying I
have reached the demo limit. This doesn't happen for wordlists, only
keywords.

Any suggestions very much appreciated.

Tony, hi
Sorry for this frustration! Sounds as if you might have a partially-
updated version. That could occur if you happened to check for updates
and re-downloaded the component .zip files but in the middle of that
process I uploaded a new version. (When I upload, I copy all the files
to a certain folder in the lexically.net web-space and then rename
that folder version6, so that the changeover happens in only a second
or two.)

I am putting up a new post about the recent changes to WordSmith,
please see that, but I think it will help if you do a complete re-
install.

explains.

If the problem recurs, please tell us which version you have (press
F9) and if possible email ws6 at lexically dot net any .ELF files you
can see in your Documents\wsmith6 folder.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for that. A reinstall seems to have one the job - all working fine now.

Thanks again,

Tony
