				Up until just recently have had no problems but...
 
Using the Desktop Manager application in Windows 10 I am unable to add items, constantly getting the message:
 
Could not add item, API returned: ERROR (203): COULD NOT GET INFO FOR ITEM
 
 
If I sign on to Gixen.net either on the same PC or via iPad I have no trouble at all with adding editing bids.
 
 
Not 100% sure of when this started to happen but my suspicion is that it coincided with a recent Windows 10 update to the Windows 10 Creative Edition.
 
 
Can you suggest anything to enable Desktop Manager once again
 
 
Thanks |

				I presume you are now using your Gixen credentials with the Desktop Manager ?
 
 
This will only get looked at more closely once everything is back on gixen.com next week. _________________ Mark |

				Yes double checked Gixen credentials are same in Desktop Manager as when I sign in via the net.
 
 
I could be wrong of course but do have a strong feeling that this linked to Windows upgrade, maybe related to some change in the API? |

				Make sure you are still running it on compatibility mode... but I suspect the problem lies elsewhere. _________________ Mark |

				Thanks for your help on this.  Tried all that I can think of including compatibility WIn 8 and even Win 7 no luck.  So like you I suspect the problem elsewhere and likely within WIndows.
 
 
Hopefully this will be addressed in due course.  In the meantime it is not a huge problem as going via the browser works just fine. |

				It needs the most backwards compatibility you have available... back to Windows XP if possible. _________________ Mark |

				| Gixen Desktop Manager need a new version. The old one may or may not work with Gixen credentials. If not - please use the web interface until the new version is released. |

I recently posted regarding error 203. Now Even the gixen website will not allow me to add snipes. |
