Hi,
the buglist does not allow any new topics.

Like many others, I use multiple virtual desktops on Windows 7. There are several tools for this, I use VirtuaWin.

When I switch between the desktops, running processes (like Train) in Zorro stop. No error message is displayed, but it is aborted as if a user input (stop) had occurred.

Can this be prevented?


Something else I posted elsewhere in this forum, but didn't get any attention:

After downloading Zorro version 1.83.2 it was not possible to install it. The error message appeared:
"ERROR.

The DEMO version of QSetup may only be used for evaluation

Setup Aborted!"

I searched the net for a previous version, installed it and then installed the current version. That worked - but can't solve the mystery. A working installer could already be, at least as a preference.

I do not know about that demo issue, maybe it was some PC glitch. Switching desktops can indeed interfere with running processes. I have no experience with VirtuaWin, but guess that it possibly stops all processes of background desktops and doesn't properly resume them. If in doubt, use the standard virtual desktop mechanism of Windows 10.
