AA isn't starting properly. It has me in the loop of requiring an update. And when I right click on the download file I don't have an option to open as an Adminstrator.. it's just not there. 

Hi

 AA is terrific at getting me information. I love it. When it is working! Today, I am experiencing this not work properly hassle too. So my love affair with AA is a little tarnished. But will bloom again when it works properly.

I opened AA this morning and it worked. Then it froze and did not respond. So I hit control/alt/delete and closed the program. Then re-opened it and again entered my keywords into the Ask Questions box.

This time the program looked like it was working because the green bars appeared at the bottom right hand corner  and the words "gathering results" appeared at the bottom left. Then the green bars disappeared and nothing else happened. I did not get any results at all. 

So I entered another set of keyword in the Get Questions box. This time  got an error message telling me that there were no GOOGLE questions available on the topic. I thought I could only get questions from Ask or Yahoo Answers???

My next move was to uninstall the program and re-install it. I was then asked to update my program. I did that. Then entered my keywords again. And got the same result as before. The green bars appeared, then disappeared.   The program told me it is gathering results but it isn't.

Has anyone experience this before?

And Jno, if you are around and read this, should I submit a Support Ticket?

Cheers

Hi meg

Thanks for the feedback.

I tried it again and nothing has changed. Still no workee.

While I was waiting for your response I checked out a couple of other Forum posts.I have also noticed (before my AA froze the first time) that I was only getting a handful of questions repeated 3 times. And I Googled my AA Question Search keywords and found that there were 2.9 million items listed. Surely some of them would be questions.

I also have an elderly version of Instant Article Wizard. Having it is why I bought AA. IAW is really great even if it doesn't allow me to save my research for some reason(comes up with some sort of error message about not being able to save my work  that I don't understand anything about so I ignore it). I just copy and paste the IAW sentences I want to keep into a Notepad.

Why I mention this is that IAW comes up with a host of ideas that can be (some actually are already) questions. So why AA only comes up with a handfull is beyond me.

So do you have another suggestion for me, please? I really do love AA and want to use it. Or is a support ticket becoming more likely?

Cheers

Hi Meg

Thanks for your offer to check AA for me. I appreciate it

I checked my version. It is the latest that I downloaded yesterday. And I just opened AA but while it opens to the screen where I can enter keywords to get questions for, it still won't return any questions Although (after the green bars appear and disappear, it is still telling me that it is gathering questions. But it's not

No, still not getting questions for me either!

Oh - it's back working for me today! - And REALLY FAST TOO!

Hi Meg

Yes, it's working for me too.

I notice that it is only returning a handful of questions on my keywords. Then repeating them a=over and over. So it looks like a lot of questions coming back but is actually very few? Does yours do that?

 I have seen in another thread that others have noticed the same thing. My keywords showed 2.9 million responses when I Googled them. So there must be lots more questions

Cheers

I then changed it to Y answers and used "add to questions" and YES - it only had a few questions and these were repeated over and over. It's still "gathering questions".

Hi Meg

Sorry for my slow reply. Put it down to me being away from my desk for a few days.

I saw that you checked the Old Time Radio and got lots of questions. That's terrific.

But would you please check what answers you get when your keyword are "low impact exercise"

When I enter these words I only get a very few questions that are repeated. Ask.com and Yahoo Answers have slightly differnet questions but still only a few, and still repeated?

Does AA only work with selected keywords. I would have thought that low impact exercise was a hot topic. As I have said before, when I Google the keywords there are 2.9 million entries for the keywords.
