Contact Us From Within the App

If the software can start properly, but crashes during operation, please first ensure that you are using the latest version of the Logic 2 software. If that doesn't solve the crashes, please feel free to reach out to us from within the app (if the app allows). We will follow up with your request via email.

When contacting us from within the app, we will be interested in the following information.

• Which product(s) you were using when the software crashed

• Indicate if this is a new problem or if you have always experienced this problem.

• Describe what you were doing when the crash/bug occurred. For example, did it occur at the beginning / during / after a capture? Is the crash/bug repeatable? If so, what are the steps leading up to the crash?

• Disable 'Decoded Protocol Search' (Options -> Preferences -> Capture Tab)

• Run the Logic software as administrator

• Delete the settings.xml file. It may be corrupt. See instructions below.

Before you can find and delete settings.xml, make the file visible first.
