I thought I would share this in case anyone else has a similar problem.

All of a sudden I was getting Fatal Errors when trying to Start up RSLogix 5000.

At first I thought, there must be something wrong with my Activation, no that was OK.
Then I thought that there was something wrong with the Install.
After Uninstalling and installing, I was still getting the same error.

The problem was referenced in a Technote 186508 (You need TechConnect to see this)
I also opened a ticket, and got this response:
Hello George,
Main cause of this error you had is because of this User Account Control Settings. Our software need it to be set to “Never notify”. Sometimes when you update your Windows, it does change this settings without ever notifying you. So please keep in mind to check this settings after every Windows update.


Apparently on a Windows Update the UAC settings may have reverted to Notify which was somehow messing with the RSLogix5000
Anyhow, I changed both the shortcut to Run as Administrator, and the UAC Settings and I got it to work.

I frequently turn off UAC for most of my Scada systems.
Wonderware even shows you how to turn of UAC as part of the install.
 
Thanks

Gbradley,

Many thanks for the fix to RS Logix 5000 Fatal Error.

Just Starting out and getting this error also.

Once again thanks.
