smerking

I just tried serching the registry and found a couple more places to knock out. Then I re-installed and still have the same problem. It shows up in all versions of VW on my machine. If they are installed alone or one after the other. I talked to the guy who fisrt posted this thread and he says that the fix did not work for him either.

thankyou for the quick responces. Yes, I have done this every time I reinstall the program. I have dual moniors if that helps at all.

hello, I just installed 10.1 and the 10.1.2 update. Even with the system wiped of 9.5.2 and the registry cleaned the same problem still exists. It seems to center around drop down menues selecting the wrong commands. Bold= offset underline= eraser. When I try to turn pallets on and off in the window menu it won't work. I have updated my video driver, cleaned the registry and re-installed quicktime. I'm really at a loss here. I have very little functional left in the program at the moment. I called Mark in Tech support and he suggested turning off my Norton Auto-Protect. Again unistalled, cleaned the reg and reinstalled, still no luck. The problem seems to have followed me from the earlyer versions even with compleate removel of the program. Could you provide me with all Registry entries that Vectorworks makes from version 9 on? thanks

Yes, I have reinstalled vector works around 10 times now. I even bought a registry clean-up utility and took out all vectorworks related entries. The problem I'm having is every time I change text settings or use the Palettes drop down to turn on or off a toolbar I get this Error. "The 3D tools are not available while the active later is in plan projection. Would you like to switch this layer to orthogonal projection?" Yes Always, No, or Yes. This happens on all tool bars even the 2D ones. I have removed all drafting programs from my computer and all unused programs. I have cleaned the registry 5 times and reinstalled to many to count. I'm using Win XP Pro on a P4 2.4Ghz. DO you have any adivise?? thanks

I am having the same problem and I have tried your fix though it did not work. The only diferance is I'm getting a weird error that ask me to change views from 2d to a 3d orthogonal because the 3d tools are not acssessable. This happens when I try to change text styles. It was Happening in 9.0.1 and then when I upgraded to 9.5.2 the same problem prosisted. I;ve tried cleaning the Registry with no results. Any advise?
