I have been using YARDWiz on a Win 7 - 64 bit PC for several years to convert Beyonwiz recordings to .ts format. I am a heavy user. In the last couple of weeks the software has been misbehaving. The symptoms are (1) Error message pointing to the YARDWiz log file when file listing on the Beyonwiz commences; (2) Random connection errors and program hanging during the listing process and (3) file download operations may proceed to completion but the progress bar remains on 100% instead of returning to 0% and the only way to close the program is to use Task Manager to stop the process.
The log file contains many blocks of information as files are listed, but every block contains the error message -
"ERROR utilities.write: TypeError
ERROR utilities.write: :
ERROR utilities.write: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'float' and 'builtin_function_or_method'"
In order to diagnose the issues I have tried the following
1. Uninstall YARDWiz 0.4.2 including registry entries and install 0.4.5. The result was no change in process behaviour.
2. Install WizZilla. Operation was OK
3. Install YARDWiz 0.4.5 on another PC with similar spec on the same network. The program functions normally
Clearly the problem lies with the original PCb but what could it be?
