Question

Getting "Initializing Version Control"

I'm using RoboHelp 7 on Windows Vista Ultimate. I haven't had too many problems until today; I accidently clicked the desktop icon for RoboHelp Version Control instead of the regular RoboHelp one. Now when I try to open regular RoboHelp, either by clicking its desktop icon or double-clicking a project file (.xpj), I get the dark aqua box that usually flashes, but it just stays there with the message "Initializing Version Control" and never opens my project. I have to use Task Manager to close it, and RoboHelp never opens.

Help!I am telecommuting and really don't want to drive an hour to the office (it's a mess; they're redesigning all of our cubicles) and get the DVDs and uninstall/reinstall.

Is there anything I can do to get RoboHelp to stop looking for "Version Control"?

Well, rebooting did the trick. In case anyone else experiences this, I guess rebooting your PC will fix it. It would be nice to know, tho, what caused it. If anyone knows, please share.

BTW, I apologize for this post appearing twice. I only clicked Post once, honestly!
