    FRX Desktop (6.78) launches and promptly hangs (no display of the program once I get past login). I can see ""FRx Desktop"" on the task bar but the main program never displays. Sage 100 2013. Accessing this via TS. Other users can get in fine. Have already gone and changed drildown.ini to match suggested memory (this fixed issues on others where viewer didn't display but desktop would launch and let them run a report). I'm guessing this may be related to anti-virus (Trend Micro) though IT seems unfamiliar with exclusions.

    The fix in this issue was somewhat straightforward and it was all related to a set of local files that each user has stored in their profile as described below. Search for drildown.ini (NOTE: One l in drildown ) on the local machine. Open this file in Notepad, and check the AppSize setting. BE CAREFUL making changes in this file as you can cause more problems than you're trying to fix...but try setting the AppSize to say AppSize=0/0/640/464. Note: The AppSize appears to be set dynamically by FRx. I observed that when I logged into the system the numbers would change. The above numbers seem to be a good startign point (0/0//640/464). Location of this file (Note: Change out {insertusername} for the name of the user on the PC) C:\Users\{insertusername|\AppData\Local\FRx Software\FRx 6.7 folder Applied fix and it worked. In a Terminal Server / Citrix environment the two key files (stored under local profiles): DRILDOWN FRX If there is something wrong in either I found that it can cause FRx not to launch although you may get the prompt to login. Once you login you see the FRx Desktop on the taskbar but no program launches as you might expect. If you have a user that can start FRx in a TS/Citrix environment, and another who cannot. Try taking a copy of the above files from the profile that's working ( C:\Users\{insertusername|\AppData\Local\FRx Software\FRx 6.7 folder ) and moving it to the profile of the user where FRx won't start.
