PS, I have updated my signature and my current (updated again just a few days ago) is Windows 10 Pro Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.1715)

It seems that the issue I had with X5 is now showing up in X9 as well. See my post and "solution for now" from a couple of weeks ago. I haven't attempted to return to X5 64-bit because I have work to turn out and X5 32-bit has not failed to launch since I installed it. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/15024-x5-and-windows-10-pro/

Many thanks to all who replied. Here is what I hope is a final solution to the issue. Please note that I failed to mention that my new machine in October 2016 had Windows 10 Pro x64. So when I fresh installed X5 back then, I installed the 64 bit version and the 64 bit update. X5 64 bit had been working just fine until I submitted a this recent request for help. Per your suggestions here, I did a repair install of X5 64 bit and it seemed to work for a day or so and the issue reappeared. Then I uninstalled X5 and did a fresh install of X5 64 bit. Again, it seemed to work for a short while and then the issue reappeared. I noticed that I had 32 bit X5 install files from my old XP machine so I uninstalled X5 64 bit and did a fresh install of X5 32 bit and now as of today, the issue has not appeared. Thanks again to all who replied!

Hello all. I am still using X5 as it meets all of my needs. Back in October 2016, I upgraded my system from Windows XP to Windows 10 Pro, installed X5 on the new system and all has been operating fine until just a couple of weeks ago after a recent Windows update. Not sure is that is what caused the issue or not. Now upon launching X5, a pop up error window says X5 is missing several DLL files. Looking at the location of these DLLs, they are there but with a current date/time stamp and zero file size. I restored just these DLL files from a backup and X5 works fine for a random about of time. When it quits, I restore the files again and all is fine for a time. Opened a case and CA tech support says to perform an X5 repair installation to see if that corrects the issue. I am hesitant to do so because I can have it working by restoring the DLLs from backup and I am afraid that if the repair install blows up, I am stuck. Any suggestions?

I really appreciate all of your input. I am still on X5 and XP, not upgrading my PC and CA to X6 later this year. I can' read Robert's plot.plan. Andy, I don't see your version in your profile - by chance are you still using X5? Thanks again.

I have done only a few plot plans but I am having difficulty getting this one to close with the given data. I have tried several methods, reviewed training tutorials and forum postings. I am beginning to think the survey data is incorrect. Any ideas on what I may be doing incorrectly? Please see lot 40 in green on the plat. Thank you. Copy of FINAL GH 7_01.pdf
