Xpadder is freezing in Win8 x64
As the title states, I have Xpadder running, and if I have a profile up it works, however it keeps freezing randomly, but not total freezes. When I say frozen what happens is that I can't edit any keys (the keyboard prompt pops up but I can't click any keys, I have to click the X), I can't create a new profile (it doesn't respond) and I can't close the program normally (I have to use task manager).
This happens every time I try to edit a key or start a new profile. It starts up my saved profile fine, but I can't change anything or edit it.
This is a Windows 8 install that I migrated from a Win7 x64 install where everything worked perfectly.
Thank you!

Do you use the newest version of Xpadder?

Same thing is happening to me. I have the newest version of Xpadder and mines keeps freezing when I try to create a profile or just freezes randomly. If someone could assist me I would appreciate it.
Re: Xpadder is freezing in Win8 x64
Having the same issues. Can't get XPadder to work. It always freezes. Do I have to request a refund or is there any solution for this problem?

I have the same problem. I don't want to wait weeks and weeks to get no answer like these poor guys. I want an answer or I want a refund.
Re: Xpadder is freezing in Win8 x64
Please can you try running Xpadder with no controller attached and enable the Virtual Controller Debug options in the Settings window.
This will test the program without performing any external commands.
It may be that there is an issue with the drivers specific to Windows 8.

I enabled the virtual controller, and I can see it in the settings menu, but I can't see it in the main interface. Normally I'd be able to click in the upper left hand corner and set up a profile, but instead it just brings up the Windows "Game Controllers" dialogue box.

Did you connect the virtual controller after creating it? You need to select the virtual controller in the chart and to click the third button for that.

I restarted and tried again. This time it did detect the virtual controller. When I try to create a profile, it loads the layout menu but it has a white screen rather than a purple one (where the controller image would normally go), and it won't allow me to upload an image.
Re: Xpadder is freezing in Win8 x64
I am testing with a clean offline installation of Windows 8.1 Pro x64 with a wired Xbox 360 controller and the latest version of Xpadder.
Everything seems to work as expected.
It would help to know which version of Windows 8 you are using (the original or the newer 8.1 update).
Also, which controller are you using and how did the drivers install (automatically or did you run a setup file downloaded from the official site)

Re: Xpadder is freezing in Win8 x64
I'm running windows 8.1
It's a Game Stop brand generic 360 controller. The drivers installed automatically.

Re: Xpadder is freezing in Win8 x64
Are you able to reproduce the freezing on demand? The first post in this topic has some steps that may lead to a freeze.
Re: Xpadder is freezing in Win8 x64
Can you list the steps needed to cause a freeze.

Re: Xpadder is freezing in Win8 x64
I press "Start" a bunch of times. When the "Confirmation" dialogue box appears, I click "Program Location." I tell it to associate with Windows. In the upper left corner it says "click 'new' to create layout or 'open'" in yellow. I click on that. In the controller settings dialogue box, I see a white box. When I tell it to open a picture, nothing happens.
Sorry my responses have been sporadic. My job takes me away from my computer a lot. Thank you for trying to help.

Re: Xpadder is freezing in Win8 x64
I tried these steps and things worked as they should do. For this test I was using the Debug Virtual Controller option.
For now please keep using the Virtual Controller only and keep the real controller disconnected.
With Xpadder completely closed (not in tray area) rightclick the Xpadder program icon, select Properties, select the Compatiblity tab and choose Run in Windows 8. Ok and then try running Xpadder again. If you still get the problem close Xpadder completely and try running in Windows 7 mode.

Still not working.

The Controller Settings window should look like thisianfcarney wrote:In the controller settings dialogue box, I see a white box. When I tell it to open a picture, nothing happens.
Are you seeing a large white box instead of pink?
