damphon Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 I am having an intermittent issue with HyperSpin where sometimes when I try to launch the application it will not start. The process starts, if I CTRL+ALT+ESC I can see that there are 2-3 HyperSpin processes running. Closing them all and trying again fixes the issue. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I am on Windows 7 with Hyperspin 1.5.1.

I am on Windows 7 with Hyperspin 1.5.1. Right click Hyperspin.exe, then go to properties and set it to run as admin. Also add sxs.dll to your Hyperspin folder if you are on 2004 update on Windows 10.

damphon Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 This was working flawlessly until today. It looks like sometimes when I close HyperSpin the process remains running. This happened most recently when I was launching HyperSpin to see if I moved disk images into the correct artwork folder then exiting (without launching any emulators). Any idea what I could be doing wrong that would keep the HyperSpin process from closing?
Mrmikey73 Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Pretty sure this is a known bug. I could be wrong but I thought @ninja2bceen posted a fix that closes extra hyperspin exes that are running. Happens to mine on windows 10 also so it’s not just yours.
ninja2bceen Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 put the sxs.dll file in the hyperspin root folder Advance the cause to 100%. http://hyperbase.hyperspin-fe.com/ Planet Geekdom, Subscribe for Tutorials! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdcby-s2GwriaOHGmVC2vGA?sub_confirmation=1&app=desktop

damphon Posted October 26, 2020 Author Posted October 26, 2020 Well I fixed it by making a bat file with the following in it and having that run on exit. I have it wait 20 seconds so that HyperSpin can try to close itself then force kill it if it doesn't. It has been working without issue for over 2 weeks so far. SLEEP 20 taskkill /f /im HyperSpin.exe /t
