Solution 1: Start ezCheckDraft from program folder
We noticed some customers could not run ezCheckDraft because the desktop shortcut was broken. You can also start this check printing software from program folder
The default program folder is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Halfpricesoft\ezCheckDraft
You can double click ezCheckDraft.exe file to run it. (If your system hides extension, you just double click ezCheckDraft). If it works, you can delete the old desktop shortcut and follow this article to create a new shortcut on desktop.
Solution 2: Create a new settings file
The default database folder is:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Halfpricesoft\ezCheckDraft
Open data folder, backup settings.xml and remove it from this folder.
start ezCheckDraft again. ezCheckDraft will start in trial mode and you need to enter the key code again. (You can find the key code in your email account that you used for this order)
Solution 3: Give current user permission to access data
Open ezCheckDraft data folder and make sure you have enough permission to access data and run this application.
