Well yeah if you do have a powercut most likely you may have fried
something.
if things do not work maybe a good reformat will work.
Seriously if you can afford it especially if you have a desktop get a ups.
I have a couple.
if you are a laptop user try to cycle your battery every couple months
and buy an extra.
To be honest, having a ups even though that cost me 70 bucks each has
saved my ass many times.
Another thing I'd get is a serge board that can fit 6 units in, and get
as many as there are electronic devices in them.
Yes they are 30 bucks or so, yes they cost but again they will save your
ass and I can vouch for both bits of kit.
Remember to change your ups battery every couple years or so and to have
a spare just in case you forget else things will not work well for you.
I had a cheap powerstrip bust on me all of a sudden once.
and I have friends in lightning strike zones.
If the power goes off, if the thing powers up it may be corrupted and we
would reformat, works every time.
However more than not, you wouldn't get anything and have to replace the
power supply and ram chips or worse.
This would probably be a good time to tell all well remind all to have
good serge protection tech.
An ups or 2 a serge box and a power board or 2 would be ideal.
Failing that, at minimum, a serge board that allows 2 plugs for the
power strips and or plugs with auto powercut offs for each unit.
And if not, make sure you have 2 backup hdds at least and make sure one
of them is always as updated as it can be and keep it offline maybe
stored away but close enough for you to get it.

If the problem is occurring only after you killed power to the machine (I'm
presuming you didn't go through windows to shut down) then the power loss
may have corrupted files, in which case just replacing them will do the
trick.
In future, if your screen reader starts misbehaving, try the following:
press windows r, type cmd, and hit enter.
type:
taskkill /f /im jfw.exe
or
taskkill /f /im nvda.exe
and then reload the screen reader as normal.

Hi yes, I've tried all the obvious stuff to fix the problem, and am actually
wondering if something is wrong at Aprone's end, as it was the online game
I'd been playing, and my jaws had frozen so I had to exit the game and shut
down my laptop them re-boot it, and that's when I started getting that
error.
I'll give the installer another shot though.
From Lori.

In homage to IT people all around the world... have you rebooted?
Other possibilities:
If you can, try castaways on another machine?
Either that, or just redownload it and see if that fixes the issue;
something may have been corrupted or missing.
I've got nothing for swamp, sorry.

Hi everyone, it seems Aprone's games have turned against me. I tried to log
into Swamp, but was told it had failled because my account needed renewing,
despite the fact that I'd renewed it a few months a go. I then tried to
load up castaways, but got the following error:
---------------------------
Castaways
---------------------------
Run-time error '52':
Bad file name or number
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I've ran the checkup.exe file in the castaways folder, but it's not done
anything. It's really frustrating having Swamp so laggy, then castaways not
responding suddenly.
I'm not sure what to do about that runtime error and would be glad of any
help. Thanks from Lori.
