Tomboy Notes Crashes In Windows

I love tomboy notes. I work on a lot of different computers and so I need to have all my data synchronized between all these machines and I frequently go between Linux and Windows machines. I used to use just Evernote for taking notes but since they updated to 3.5 I have not been able to get the desktop application to work under Wine in Linux. Thats when I started using Tomboy Notes and it has been great.

The only problem I have had is that Tomboy Notes on one of my Windows machines would never open. It would start and I would see the icon in the notification area but then it would disappear and I couldn’t ever do anything. Today I figured out how to get around it.

To fix this I just went to the Tomboy.exe file and went to Properties -> Compatibility and set it to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3. Now everything is working great!
