Hi:

I think is difficult to say without seeing your code.
Can you run it in debug mode and see in what line of your starter service you're getting the error, and post your relevant code.
It seems you're trying to run something from your starter service (create sub) before the activity is running.

You are trying to show a msgbox from the starter service. It cannot work. It never worked.

Also remember that code with Msgbox = broken code, though MsgboxAsync will not help in this case.

I already fix the bugs... thanks

How did you do it? Could you post it? It could help other members with your same problem.
