Notes Freezing up Question

When notes freezes up I have to end task on nlnotes.exe. When I do that I have to log off and log back in then start notes for me to get into notes. Is there a faster way to do this?

You can use ZapNotes or NotesMedic to kill the Notes processes.

I have tried using both KillNotes and Zap Notes and about 50% of the time I have found that it Totally Destroys the Notes Session and I can no longer load Notes.I Have to restart anyway.

I get an error message and Notes Refuses to load until I reboot my System??

Any Ideas?

Hi Karel,

please:

  1. use killnotes or something like this to make sure that every notes task is killed

  2. use Process Explorer from http://www.sysinternals.com/ and search with “Find Handle” for “notes” and “iris” and post us the results.

If there is something like this:

\BaseNamedObjects\IRIS$EVENT$195$1$C.lotus.notes.data

linked to a “non-Notes” programm please close this programm and let me know if you can restart then. This would be very interesting for me!

Regards Markus

Yes, but how can I start notes again without restarting my OS?

“All Notes processes” is not just nlnotes.exe. Very few processes that are non-Notes will start with “n” on a Windows machine – it’s usually safe to kill them all (ntaskldr, nhttp, and so on). If you don’t feel safe doing that, use ZapNotes or NotesMedic (which kill all known Notes processes), as the previous poster suggested.

One caveat I’ve found is that even though NotesMedic states that it kills NTMulti it was still active. This is actually a Windows service that you will either have to restart, stop, or disable (if you don’t use your machine for multiple users - it’s a multi-user cleanup utility).

I use run NSD Kill from the CMD prompt and it works 90% of the time without needed to reboot the machine.

Hi there guys I am Steve Robinson. I created killdomino one night over a few beers. I have the source code still. It was written using MFC and Visual C++ ver 6.0 and some clever knowledge of the Windows 2000 resource kit. I am going to release a new version over the next few months.

If you interested goto http://www.notes411.com and in the forum or resource sections you will be able to follow my progress. I also have a new blog at http://www.drdomino.com that will discuss KillDomino as I rewrite it using .NET.
