latest version installed, but crashes on login

[Omveer Singh]

On giving login-id & password, a popup window having the message “file encryption for .net and mono has stopped working” comes and it closes.

[SvanteSpectator]

Hello,

Can you please do try the following:

1. Ensure AxCrypt is stopped.
2. Using Windows Explorer, go to %localappdata%\axcrypt\ .
3. E-mail all .txt files in that folder (UserSettings.txt etc etc) to me: svante dot seleborg at axcrypt dot net . (There is nothing especially sensitive there, at most your e-mail-address and names of encrypted files.)
4. Delete all .txt files.
5. Re-start AxCrypt.

Svante

I am having the same issue and I dont understand your instructions. Can you please help me?

[ritu]

I started having the same problem 2-3 days back on Windows-10. Prior to that it worked but would hang if I left the process running overnight. I tried to uninstall and install back and still get the same error: file encryption for .net and mono has stopped working

[SvanteSpectator]

Hello ritu,

That typically means a crash in .NET, but can you check out %localappdata%\AxCrypt and see if there’s a file named ‘ReportSnapshot.txt’ there. If so, can you post it / send it (if there’s anything in there that you object to posting).

Tahnk you, unfortunately it did not help, since only old exceptions were there.

What version of AxCrypt are you running?

Just how far do you get? Do you get to sign in?

[Ritu]

The AxCrypt version is 2.1.1444.0

It throws an exception, “File Encryption for .NET and Mono has stopped working” and signs out of AxCrypt. I don’t even get to the sign in.

Hello,

It seems to be something with network access that fails. Are you behind a web proxy or using a VPN?

You might also try to start AxCrypt with the –offline switch. Run a command like the following:

%ProgramFiles%\AxCrypt\AxCrypt\AxCrypt.exe –offline

This will disable all network access (permanently, until you re-enable it from the menus).

It would be good if you could check the Event Viewer also for any more events related to this. It’s something that is wrong with your PC environment, at least to the extent that the AxCrypt code does not handle it properly. The stack trace you showed, if it is relevant to the problem, does indicate that the exception is handled though, so it’s a bit unclear.

Thank you for working with us to resolve this.

Svante

[Ritu Sinha]

This did not work either but thanks for all your help. I need to take a break from this now.

[SvanteSpectator]

Hello Ritu,

Understood. When you are up for it, or experience similar problems with another application you should also try to repair the .NET framework. It has helped in a few similar situations.
