SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

Windows 7 64Bit
SABNZBd+ 0.7.16


I don't know what caused this, but a few weeks ago I was downloading and opening NZBs and I noticed multiple icons started to pop into my tray at the bottom right corner. I also had Sick Beard and Couch Potatoe working flawlessly with my SABNZBd+, now neither of them work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same issue!

If I try to download and open multiple NZBs, My browser opens up an equal amount of browsers.

Example, 3 NZBs open... 3 browsers open with different ports (8090, 8095, 8100...)

Any insight would be appreciated!

Somehow different instances of SABnzbd cannot see each other.
This could be caused by having run SABnzbd in admin mode once and killing it with task manager.
Stop all instances, then use the official uninstaller (through Windows' "Remove programs" control panel).
Do not select "Remove data" in the uninstaller.
Then re-install.
If that fails, come back here. I can help you with some registry hacking.

Thank you, I appreciate the insight. I will try now and post back shortly.


EDIT: It is still opening additional instances.

I'll send you registry instructions later by PM.
