I have version 8.7 of RoboForm Password Manager installed, version 8.9 was released today.
When I checked for updates and then clicked update now the download and install process ran as normal.
But when I checked the “about” section it showed that I still have 8.7 installed with 8.9 available.
Even though the updater seems to be having problems, the rest of the program is still working fine.
Have any other AskWoody users who have RoboForm seen anything like this before?
Hey Y’all,
For future reference you don’t need to reboot the computer after a RoboForm update.
Just right click the RF icon in the tray and select Exit. Then Type Roboform in the search box and select Roboform Editor, enter your password and you’re good to go.
HTH 😎
After the restart I checked for an update and ran the update process again and this time version 8.9 was successfully installed.
Thanks for your help, if you hadn’t said it, restarting the computer probably wouldn’t have crossed my mind.
Not to go off topic, and respectfully asking, am I the only person who has always restarted all of my systems at least once or twice throughout a normal day? “Normal” meaning no updates or other funny business.
My girlfriend has windows 10 and the first time her system started slowing down and misbehaving I told her to reboot. She was very puzzled by my comment saying, “I never reboot my lap-top, or turn it off.”
Then to her surprise everything ran great again after the reboot. (she didn’t know about the late night adventures & reboots that Win 10 carries on with after forced updates either.)
Am I the only one who has this reboot practice?
Only curious,
Gary

Just because you don't know where you are going doesn't mean any road will get you there.You just log in to Roboform and synchronise
M.B.,
As an alternative you can copy the Default profile (C:\Users\[your userid]\Documents\Roboform\Profiles\Default Profile from your old machine to the new one after your install RoboForm.
