1-800-796-0471 - How to Resolve the Issue of ‘Unable to Open Sage 50 cx’?

Sage 50’ suite of business software helps small and mid-sized companies manage their payroll, HR and accounting tasks. It offers cloud functionality and is compatible with MS Office 365, thus allowing data access from any location, as well as collaboration across teams and companies.

Sage 50 might become unresponsive and users might fail to open it.

The program might not open when the desktop icon is clicked even though no error is displayed; ‘Peachw.exe’ might appear and disappear in the Task Manager; the Sage 50 service release (SR) update fails; or Sage 50 accounting runs in the background.

• Network drive is connected
• Conflicting processes are running
• Pervasive hasn’t been started or a wrong version of it is installed
• The Pervasive folder location is wrong
• MS .NET framework has been corrupted
• Sage 50 is in compatibility mode
• The CPU is functioning at full capacity
• Program has been uninstalled or its shortcut is damaged
• UAC has been enabled
• Program files are in an incorrect location of a 64-bit system
• Program shifted to a new system via file transfer application

• The user profile in Citrix has been damaged

IMPORTANT: To solve the issue, users must be highly knowledgeable about operating systems and so, an IT expert must be contacted to do the job. Any wrong modification of the Windows Registry can seriously/permanently damage the computer’s functions. Users must back up the data before trying the solutions.
