That did the trick

Jerry:

Sorry. In the folder C:\Gearotic Motion\ there are two files named vcredist.....exe , one has x86 in it, the other has X64 in the name. Run one or the other
depending on if your x86 or x64.

The Reg key is at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gearotic Thoughts

  But it may not be there if the error is stopping it form running the first time on a new system. I suspect its the vcredistx86.exe you need to run. ( or vcdistx64.exe )

Art

Thanks Art for the fast reply

I entered the phrase"vcredist" in the RUN field and I got an error msg(wrong spelling or something)
I'm not sure what I should have done with the x86 or 64( sorry for my computer illiteracy)

I remember from the last time I had this problem you walked me through using "Regedit" hkey>current-user> software> gearotic thoughts. however when I went into the file this time there was no gearotic thoughts file.

Sorry for all the trouble

Jerry

Hi Jerry:

    It may be a couple things. First, run the program vcredist.. either X86 or 64 depending on if your 32 or 64 bit.
If that doesnt fix it.. ( buit it probably will ), then you may want to delete the defaults for the program. Youd need
to run Regedit, and delte the key named Gearotic Thoughts. Doi a search for Gearotic and when you see that key, delete it,
it will reset GT back to install defaults.

Let me know how you make out.

Thx
Art

Good Morning Art;

I hope you can help.
over the years of downloading freeware my computer had so many popup ads that it was necessary to completely re-format my drive and re- install my operating system.
I re-installed my Mach3 with license and no problems, I re-installed Gearotic Motion with license no problems there, however, Gearotic Thoughts would not load. The error message is:
"C:/Gearoticmotion/Gearoticthoughts.exe
"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect" ( Sorry about hand typing the message, my screen capture program has not been re-installed)

I've followed other advice on the forum about downloading current release and than going back and downloading current development version. this did not help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Art
