Blankrupter 3.0/3.5

 

I'm getting an error involving Machnm1.exe

There are a few steps that need to be taken care of to remedy this problem.
First, close Blankrupter and then use the Windows "Search" or "Find" functions to look for the machnm1.exe and keylib32.dll
Be sure to search all files and folders on your hard drive.
Delete all copies of those two files.
Visit our Downloads page to get the latest version of the software and re-install.
BEFORE YOU RUN THE PROGRAM AFTER RE-INSTALLATION - REBOOT!
Upon rebooting, your program should work as normal, but may need re-registered.

machnm1.exe - In some instances, this file will need to be saved into your Blankrupter folder (usually c:\bankwin35) and also your Windows\System folder.  Right click on the link and select "Save Link As..." and then choose the location to save it to.
 

I need to convert from 2.7 to 3.5.

To convert a 2.7 Attorney folder to 3.5 we must first convert it to version 3.0.

 1)      Clean up the 2.7 data

a)      Go to Windows explorer ( right click on the START button and select explorer)

b)      In the left hand panel find and click on the attorney folder (usually it is under c:\bankwin)

c)      Copy this folder to a temporary location in case we delete a file accidentally, we will have a backup

d)      Working in the attorney folder now (click on the attorney folder), look in the right hand panel for the file S_VERSION.adt and delete it

e)      Delete any file that has the extension adt, adm and adi. (This is much easier done if you put explorer in the Detail View also be sure explore is showing the extensions this is done from Tools menu then Folder Options then View)

f)        From the detail view, right hand panel click on the word TYPE in the Type column. this will sort all the files by type

g)      You will see the all the file with any extension beginning with .a?? at the top of the list

h)      Now you can easily delete all these files.

2)      Exit explorer

3)      Open Blankrupter 2.7 and select the attorney folder you have been working on and verify that clients are present and correct

4)      Close 2.7 and open Blankrupter 3.0.  If you need to download Blankrupter 3.0, visit here.

5)      Select the Attorney folder and 3.0 will give you a message asking if you want to convert the data. Say yes.

6)      Close Blankrupter 3.0

7)      Open Blankrupter 3.5 your data will be automatically converted

8)      You are now ready to begin processing bankruptcies with Version 3.5


I'm entering like normal but the program keeps "forgetting" what I've input.

This usually occurs when a database (your attorney folder) becomes corrupted.
To remedy this, from your Attorney/Client screen, create a new Attorney folder.
Within this new Attorney folder, attempt to create a new "test" client.
If this client works fine, be sure to use the new folder for all new clients, if it still causes problems, download the newest version of our software from here.
 

I can't find my clients.

Clients are kept in the “Attorney Folder”

The Attorney Folder is just Windows folder.

To find all folders that are valid Attorney Folders, you can search your computer for all occurrences of the file name D_CONTCT.*

IUse the Attorney Client screen to navigate a valid Attorney Folder, double click on the folder then check to see that your clients appear in the Client window.

What do I do if the bottom of the page is cut off when printing?

Visit your printer manufacturer’s website and get updated drivers for your specific printer.
If this fails, visit our downloads page to get the newest version of Blankrupter 3.5.


How do I get client information that was entered under version 2.7 to appear in 3.0?

To convert your 2.7 attorney folder, use the attorney client screen to navigate to your 2.7 attorney ( usually found under the c:\Bankwin) folder.
Double click on the folder and Blankrupter 3.0 will notify you of the conversion that will take place.


I am getting strange errors in Blankrupter 3.0/3.5, what do I do?

Some errors are due to programming errors that may have slipped into the program. Periodically, updates correcting these errors become available for free from our web site.
Just click on the “Updates” button on the left or bottom and select Blankrupter 3.5 Desktop to download the new version.
Once the new version is downloaded, be sure that you have Blankrupter closed and run the newly downloaded installation file.
When this is completed, reboot your computer and use your normal shortcut from the Start Menu to run the program.
If this still doesn’t solve your problem, Contact Us and we’ll try our best to remedy the situation


On the Voluntary Petition, Nature of Debt (on page 1), I enter a client as "business". Why can't I select choices 16-25 on the Statement of Financial Affairs?

First, Go to the Attorney/Client screen.
Then locate "Debtor is or has been in business within the past 6 years" (Bottom Right)
Finally, be sure that the box to the left of this option has been checked. This is what determines the selectable questions on the Statement of Financial Affairs form.

I have input my information for Schedules A, B, and C into the data entry screen, but when I print out the form, the information is not there.
Make sure that after you input your first piece of information, you press the plus button on the navigator
Secondly, only input one entry for each piece of property the client has. Schedule C is generated automatically by Blankrupter
If you have no pieces of property for a given category (i.e. Category 1, Cash on Hand), Blankrupter will automatically mark the "None" column
To delete an incorrect entry, click the minus sign on the navigator
After inputting your last piece of property, click the Check mark, not the plus. This is the only time you need to click the check mark


How do I move from schedule to schedule (or page to page) under Property (A, B, C) and Creditors/Co-debtors (D, E, F, H)?

Click on View (top left of the menu bar). Clicking on the various options under View will allow you to move easily from schedule to schedule.
