Lookout executable has encountere​d a problem and it needs to close down

Hello,
I am running Lookout 4.5.1 (build 18) and very often it shows the error "Lookout executable has encountered a problem and needs to close down". I tried to reload Lookout but that did not solve it. The problem only appears when I start editing my process (it is not in run mode, only in edit for now until our processes are ready). And to further complicate the issue it only happens sometimes. I , maybe 2-3 times in a row when I restart Lookout. Then Lookout executes correctly and the software runs fine. What could be the reason for it?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for this update, Ryan.
The OS on this PC is WindowsXP Pro, with the lastest SP3. It has just updated Windows few weeks ago.
I thought that the problem might be with this oleaut32.dll, but if you don't recommend replacing it I will not do it.
One additional comment regarding this error: I have noticed some time ago that when I use AB driver (OPC) the process edits faulted very often. It was happening often when I tried to create a new object with AB OPC driver. I thought at that time that the issue might be with OPC driver, but I was never sure of that. Now I use Automation Direct OPC driver and it also stops running, but less often. My OPC servers run fine as far as I can see it. This might be just a coincidence, you might be more familiar with Lookout and errors. If it comes from Windows I will try to create a new process and follow your recommendations.

  • Access Connection​s fails to launch - "has encountere​d a problem and needs to close..."

    I have an R61 with XP, SP3 installed.  The underlying functionality of Access Connections appears to be working properly (I have access to both Ethernet and wireless using profiles previously established), but when I attempt to launch Access Connections (from system tray icon, Programs, etc.) I get the error message,  "Access Connections has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience," and the option to send or not send an error report to Microsoft.  This makes it impossible to create or edit location profiles.  I first encountered this error several months ago with AC version 5.33 (might have also seen it under 5.3).  Subsequently I have upgraded to version 5.50 and have the same problem. Today I uninstalled AC, restared, reinstalled ver 5.5 (from a fresh download), and restarted.  I still encountering the problem. 
    Additional information:  Norton Internet Security (2010) is installed.  Microsoft and ThinkVantage patches are up to date.
    Please recommend "next steps" in troubleshooting or a way to resolve this issue.
    Thanks 

    Hmmm... could be a corrupt profile.
    Try this.
    1.  Uninstall Access Connections (but don't delete the profiles)
    2. After the reboot, open REGEDIT.
    3. In the left pane, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, then Lenovo
    4. Still in the left pane, right click on Access Connection and choose export
    5. Assign an appropriate filename and click Save (I suggest somewhere on the Desktop).
    6. Right click on Access Connections again and choose delete.
    7. Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Program Files\Thinkpad\ConnectUtilities directory.
    8. Delete any files in this directory.
    9. Reinstall Access Connections v5.50
    10. Try and create a profile.
    If you still get an error trying to create a profile, then something else is broken.  Be sure you have .NET 3.5 SP1 (it may be under optional downloads in Windows Update).
    If it works fine, then you have a bad profile.  Unfortunately, there isn;t an easy way to figure out which one other than try and error of delete profiles and trying one at a time.
    To restore your profiles.
    1. Unistall Access Connections. Reboot.
    2. Double click the saved .reg file on your Desktop and answer Yes to merge it into the registry.
    3. Install Access Connections. Reboot.

  • Measuremen​t & Automation Explorer has encountere​d a problem and needs to close.

    Haven't seen it, but I'd recommend uninstalling it and reinstalling it.  It could just be a corrupt installation.

  • 8330 Error Message: Desktop manager has encountere​d a problem and needs to close

    I have installed Desktop Manager and had success synching my new 8330 with Outlook 2007 (on XP). Next time, though, it crashed. I uninstalled/reinstalled, it seemed to work once, now always crashes. I do have recurring appointments with reminders and have heard this might be the problem; is there a workaround? I also disabled the option to synch up past appointments w/no luck. Thx.

    Hi. I did get my problem resolved after an hour or so on the phone w/the Blackberry folks, but I'm not positive what the problem is/was. I once again uninstalled the desktop manager, but also deleted the Intellisync folder completely. Then I reinstalled it and it worked...and has continued to work just fine for the past four days. I don't really know what "fixed" it, but just thought I'd say the issue has been resolved. Thanks.

  • Handheld Applicatio​n Loader Wizard has encountere​d a problem and needs to close

    I encountered the problem while using BlackBerry Desktop Software Version 6.1.0.35 with my Torch 9800. After I clicked the "Applications" button on the Desktop Software window, I got the pop-up window bearing the subject message.
    Additional info from the pop-up windows:
    AppName: loader.exe
    AppVer: 6.0.1.33
    ModName: loader.exe
    ModVer: 6.0.1.33

    The "Organizer" function seems to work ok. I have tried no other Desktop Software features (e.g., Media Sync).

    I have the identical problem - it started when I installed latest version of BB Desktop software. Also re-installed both phone and desktop - no change. I have no access to applications on the desktop.

    Hey JmcL,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    How many songs are you currently synchronizing?  As well what version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager are you using?
    Are you synchronizing Contacts, Calendar or Memos as well?
    I look forward to your reply.

  • Lookout executable has stopped working

    Windows gives me the error 'Lookout executable has stopped working'.
     Lookout 6.6 development version, Windows 7 on Dell Latitude.
    This occurred a couple of times now, and the only fix is to completely reload Lookout.
    Has anyone seen this problem before?

    Some drivers can cause this.
    We have an Ethernet serial convertor and if the network drops, lookout will hang.  If you click the screen, it will stop responding.  After the adapter is reconnected, lookout usually recovers within 2-5 minutes.
    Have also had happen with a lot of Modbus TCP sites and changing datamember aliases.

  • "Microsoft Office has encountered a problem with licensing and will need to close. If this problem persists, uninstall and reinstall your product."

    Hi Guys!I am not it pro. but i need your HELP.Pls my microsoft Word and Excel starter were working fine, but after playing with my laptop, downloading , removing smth , i cannot open them proper anymore, cos this message comes up:
    “Microsoft Office has encountered a problem with licensing and will need to close. If this problem persists, uninstall and reinstall your product.”What can i do to make it work fine back? plssss need Help! thank u i n advance!!!!!!

    I faced similar challenge. Re-installation did not solve the problem due to unsuccessful un-installation of ‘Microsoft Click to run 2010’. The following steps worked for me. Please use your discretion to try and see if it works for you too..
    1 Uninstall Microsoft office Starter 2010. If
    ‘MS click to run 2010’ doesn't get uninstalled use  Microsoft fix it tool meant for installing and uninstalling programmes, to uninstall the same.       
    2 Download ‘Microsoft Office Starter 2010’ from internet.      
    3 Before launching, right click the executable file and click the 'properties'. Go to
    ‘compatability’ tab and choose appropriate 'compatibility mode' as per your OS. Tick the check box to use admin privilege under
    privilege level section.
    4 Launch the executable to install Microsoft Office Starter 2010 afresh. It should go through four steps during installation now. Complete the steps and enjoy. Thanks !

    Start with the third box in  Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Error: Couldn't unmount disk -- when trying to verify/repair external hard drives.  Has anyone had this problem and solved it?

    I have a number of hard drives that my Mac Book Pro no longer 'recognises' at least for very long.  When I turn them on the deskstop icon shows up but then shortly afterwards I get a message saying that it has been unplugged incorrectly.  I haven't unplugged it any of them.  When I try to run very/repair disk before they disappear I get the error in the subject line above.  Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you rectify it?

    The drive is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced, or you have some other hardware fault.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

    Strange that your dealer could not help.
    When my car was in for its 6 month service in July/August I mentioned this problem to the dealer service dept  (Northway Honda, Bundoora, Vic)
    The person booking the car in told me an update to the software was needed and that they would do the update.
    I don't know if it was free as there was no specific listing of a software update on the invoice - just a lot of item numbers.
    All has been well since
