Unnamed file not found

  Hmm, this one is weird. It tickles my memory that someone had a similar error.. Im pretty sure its related to Windows security.

Where is your GearData folder located? Is it in the default location or pointing somewhere else?( Check options for its location..)

Have you tried running as admin? Does it work the same?

Thx

Art: Good news. Running as administrator works. Happy days are here again.
Thank you for your help and persistence.

  Glad to hear. You can set the properties of the icon to always run in amin. Im still not sure why a few need to do that
and most dont seem to. I still use XP mainly.. but Ill keep in mind to further investigate that.

Thx

Art, It only lasted 2 days. Now the program will not move wheel or pinion to the project even when I run it as administrator. ( Unknown file not found).
this is very frustrating.
Help please

Art; I have it working again,  that is I can copy gears in to the program.
In the meantime I installed Gearotic motion on two other computers and it works fine.
That left me with a problem unique to this computer. All my other programs are working fine on this computer.

Here is what I did. The only thing left that i could figure was a corrupted file some where in the Gearotic motion program.
I remembered that uninstalling a program  does not necessarily remove all the program files.
So I Deleted all the Gearotic motion files and then uninstalled Gearotic motion.
Re-installed it, added the License and it works again.
I will see how long it takes me to screw it up this time.

Thanks for all your help

Dan:

Sorry I missed the followup. Cant imagine what file it is.. that message has usually only come into play when
someone has an illegal folder location. It happens when the program tries to backup your current project for the redo/undoi\
buttons to function. Let me know if it screws up again and we'll see if we can figure it out..

Thx
