Question from customer:
I have used ezCheckDraft for more than two years. But I could not start ezCheckDraft software this morning and got "ezCheckDraft stops working error". How can I fix this error?

Windows updates might mess up user permissions or software setting.

This check printing software is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista and Apple Mac systems.

Solution 1: Start ezCheckDraft from program folder

We noticed some customers could not run ezCheckDraft because the desktop shortcut was broken. You can also start this check printing software from program folder

The default program folder is:

You can double click ezCheckDraft.exe file to run it. (If your system hides extension, you just double click ezCheckDraft). If it works, you can delete the old desktop shortcut and follow this article to create a new shortcut on desktop.

Solution 2: Create a new settings file

The default database folder is:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Halfpricesoft\ezCheckDraft

Open data folder, backup settings.xml and remove it from this folder.

rename setting file
