Problems with Results Manager & MindManager 8
Monday, November 17, 2008
I have recently been using MindManager and ResultsManager to track my ongoing tasks and projects and have really noticed a benefit to my productivity. I was really excited to install the new MindManager 8 earlier this week, hoping for even more benefits. I have found MindManger 8 itself great but since installing I have had problems running Gyronix ResultsManager, especially when trying to regenerate dashboards. This caused the MindManager to just hang indefinitely. As these dashboards were the new hub of my productivity system I was stuck.
After contacting Gyronix I downloaded the new beta version of ResultsManager but this did not help. However, today, after some email with Nick Duffill from Gyonix I have a solution to my problem. Following Nicks suggestion I disabled the “Project Task Management” add-in. I am now able to use my ResultsManager dashboards with no problems. Only problem is I have lost one of the new features of MindManager 8. Still hoping for a better solution but at least with this workround I can continue to work productively. Must say what great support Nick and Gyronix have provided.

Yuriy> Rob, a strange thing: when I am trying to disable any add-in in MM8, checking off the checkbox next to an add-in name, and then pressing OK, a pop-up appears telling "Enter an existing file" that looks not appropriate to the situation. Had you seen such effect? Thank you.
And thanks for your finding. This surely disables some interesting MM8 functions, but vital for the GTD. Let us hope it will be fixed soon.
Yuriy> Rob, probably it is tied to the fact that I am using trial version of MM8
Hi Rob,
Thank you for all your posts - enjoy them very much. I am working on setting up GTD and have seen your progression from OneNote to Outlook to now trials with MindManager and other software. I'd love a post on 'what your current setup and use recommendation' for a beginer would be given all your experience.
Thanks again,
A
Hi Rob,
I second that request, I would be very interested in your gtd implementation since I've just discovered a couple of weeks ago RM plus MM plus MR... would you mind sharing your system with us? RM looks sooo powerful but at the same time it is sooo slow and generating dashboards takes soooo long :(
Thanks a lot in advance,
marc
Do you have link to the latest Resultsmanager beta that works with MindManager 8. I emailed Gyronix support but didn't hear back from them. Thanks.
