Glitches with Install on Windows 11
« on: April 17, 2023, 15:08:23 pm »
I installed CamBam 1.0 32 bit on my new Windows 11 laptop then copied my license file into the folder.  CamBam opens as it should and I can create a drawing with no problems.  The issues are when I click on the System icon nothing happens, e.g. no system folders are visible, the drawing tree is not visible either, after creating a MOP it disappears.  I've uninstalled CamBam and reloaded but still no System files visible.  Loaded the 64 bit version too with same issue.  It's been a while since I've used CamBam so it could be me instead of the program.  What do I need to do to get CamBam to a useable condition?

Fixed it.  It was a corrupted config file.

Good on you! I didn't have a clue.

I've advised my wife to NOT switch to Win11, even after support stops for Windows 10.  There are just too many bugs -- many new ones being introduced by so-called 'updates'.

Yeah, I hear you about Windows 11.  I've had Cambam on my Windows 10 laptop for years and it just chugs along.  Unfortunately my laptop died and I had to get another.  Loading Cambam is not my only issue.

Drop back to 10.  You can still do that, legally!

My shop computer has W10 loaded on it and will become the primary computer for my CamBam work.
