POS Crashing and won't open

Posted on by Community Member

Hi, I have several POS stations that are crash the POS quiet of few times a day.

I am not sure what cause making POS crash. But when I exit out of the POS and reopen, it won't open. So I go to task manager and kill the SOPOSUSER.exe process. Then it will open the POS.

I am trying to find out what makes this problem occur? Does anyone knows why?

Thanks

    Is there an error message?

    What exact version of RMS?

    Hi Jeff,

    There's no error message when I open the POS. It is not just opening the POS.

    The version that we use is 2.0.0155. I guess when we close out the POS it did not close the software properly so when we try to reopen POS next time then it won't open. So we have to go to Task Manager and kill the SOPOSUSER.EXE and reopen it. Do you have any suggestion? it happens on Vista and Win7 32/64 Home and Pro.

    We've seen this in 4 scenarios;

    1) Employee double clicks on the Taskbar icon or triple clicks on the Desktop icon and RMS attempts to start twice.

    2) Employee turns off the machine while POS is still running, usually minimized.

    3) Hibernate is enabled and then power off while POS is still running.

    The first is employee training, second and third is to not allow POS to be minimized, in Ctrl+ F6 | Transaction Screen tab | Window button | un-check "Show re-sizable border"  

    OR

    while POS is running normally, open Regedit | go to:

    32 bit - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Retail Management System\Store Operations\POSUser\Display

    64 bit - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Retail Management System\Store Operations\POSUser\Display

    and change the Permissions to Read only for everyone

    4) the POS _really_ did crash on exit.
