Issue 1: The desktop shortcut is broken (*****)

Solution 1: Start ezCheckPrinting from program folder and re-create desktop shortcut

We noticed some customers could not run ezCheckPrinting 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\ezCheckPrinting

You can double click ezCheckPrinting.exe file to run it. (If your system hides extension, you just double click ezCheckPrinting). If it works, you can delete the old desktop shortcut and follow this article to create a new shortcut on desktop.
