  • Allfix crash

    From Michiel van der Vlist@2:280/5555 to All on Monday, December 08, 2025 10:36:40
    Hello All,

    I have a problem with Allfix. Ik has been running stable for decades under Win 95, Win XP and now Win 8, but all of a sudden it keeps crashing when called from the batch file that handles incoming mail. On the screen there is this message:

    D:\fido\ALLFIX>allfix mgr
    LSxPower Error lsx1510: Internal Exception (LSXPOWER.DMP created)
    D:\FIDO\ALLFIX\ALLFIX.EXE has been stopped

    Nothing at all is written to the log, the message appears only on the screen.

    I am running this version:

    ALLFIX Universal, v5.13.004 ù fileecho processor ù 22-May-99 09:43

    Anyone seen this before?


    Cheers, Michiel

    Hello Vincent,

    Suggest you check the system update logs for any such.

    I see no traces of any WIN 8 updates.

    Any other system updates ?

    What other updates? This system with windows 8 has been running since september 2024. There is nothing else on it but the Fido system, firefox and Thunderbird. The latter two can not receive updates any more.

    Maybe I was a bit inaccurate in my starting post. I write that this problem appeared all a sudden but may be that isn't so. It may have happened before without me noticing. It is only visible by the message written to the screen, nothing is written to the logs. File handling usually happens in the night and a missing updates from the daily files can easely go unnoticed.

    Anyway, it seems I am not using the latest version of allfix. Mine still uses a key and it is a 16 bit version.

    Rumour has it that a 32 bit keyless version is available. So if you could point me to where I can get that version, I may give it a try.



    Cheers, Michiel

    The latest from Harald Harms is:

    ALLFIX Universal, v6.00.018 fileecho processor 09-Jul-00 14:22
    Copyright (C) 1992,2000 by Harms Software Eng., All rights reserved.

    Runs fine in my OS/2 system.

    Rumour has it that a 32 bit keyless version is available. So if you
    could point me to where I can get that version, I may give it a try.

    www.allfix.com seems down. I should have the version 6 and 7 archives somewhere... Hold on...

    Did you try the DOS executable instead or Uni?

    Yes, I tried the DOS executable. I won't run here because my key is invalid for that version.

    For some years now. But it's avaliable on archive.org:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20230209083117/https://allfix.com/

    ... For the latest.

    Some of the downloads also work.


    Bye, Wilfred.
