When I am editing an existing job task where I have to change the months, the CPU spikes to 100% and the VisualCron app hangs. I have to kill the Visualcron,exe process from the task manager.

My environment
OS Windows 2003
Visual Cron 5.5.5
Local access

Thanks

Yes, upgrade VisualCron at least. That version is more than 6 years old now.

I do not have the luxury to upgrade the software for the next one year. Kindly help me.

Are you doing this in the custom or interval time trigger?

Also is the client you are doing this from remote or on the same PC as the Visual Cron server?

I am doing an custom time trigger.

The client is on the same PC as the VisualCron server.

Thanks

Have you tried running the client from a different PC? Might be worth trying that first.

I do remember a bug which could lead to this if you first uncheck all seconds (for example) in an old version. Only workaround was to always leave something on and not to uncheck all. For example;

1. you have minute 0 checked
2. you want to change to minute 1
3. you need to check 1 first, then uncheck 0

This is the only workaround I have. You need to upgrade to really solve this.
