Thanks Mick I'll give that a try. Vinnie

Hello, I can't open my library's. I click on the library bower icon but nothing happens. When I click to open the browser a check mark appears on the browser icon. Any help to figure this out would be appreciate. Thanks Vinnie

PROBLEM SOLVED. What was going on is that when I clicked on an Icon to open the dialog box, the dialog box was opening on a second monitor that I had, but was not working so I disconnected the monitor. I couldn't see the dialog box to open it,so when I pushed down the left mouse button all I could hear was the dinging sound. Thanks for you help anyway guys. Vinnie

Hello guys, I opened up Chief X9 and I was able to access Edit then open presences, I couldn't do that in Chief X10. Vinnie

Thanks Dermot for you help, if it's a major hardware or video card problem the it looks like I'll need to buy a new PC. This ones getting on in it's years. Vinnie

Thanks Dermot for your help. it looks like I have dig a lot more and have my PC checked out. Vinnie

Thanks Joe, I think you may correct about the anti virus program. I'll try Norton first, if that doesn't work I'll call CA. Thanks for your help. Vinnie

Hi Joe thanks, I opened a few past plans, a new plan file and the same thing keeps happening, it's weird I open the Edit dialog box and the click on preferences and the upper task bar goes gray not letting me in. So, I go back to end task and end CA and start over again. Vinnie

Hi Brown Tiger I opened the Edit icon, then clicked on preferences and Chief locked up on me, so I not able to go any further using that method, is there another way? Vinnie

Thank you all for your advice. Unfortunately I not in a position to spend much money, ideally I'd love to get a whole new PC but I'm stuck for the time being. I'll give these options a try. Vinnie

Thanks David, I have Norton Anti virus I run scans often, I'll clean-out the PC cabinet today. Vinnie

Good afternoon, Chief keeps locking up on me when I try to do the following but not limited to the following items. manager shows that Chief is still running. Any way to fix this issue would be welcomed Thanks 1. When trying to open the roof icon 2. When I group select. 3. While in the walls dialog box trying to change the siding type. 4. When select to open a bulkhead so I could change the size of the bulkhead. 5.. When I use Crl. E to open a kitchen cabinet. I must go to the task manager box and select end task for Chief and then restart Chief so I can keep working on my plan until the issue happens again. The task manger does show that Chief is still running. Any help with this issues is welcomed Vinnie Chief user since X2 Chief Verison X10 OS Microsoft 7 Home Premium Itel Core I7 64 Bit 16 GB RAM

Yes, this can be very annoying.

Thanks I thought I should have help off on the update.

Yes, I saw the update but I was a little apprehensive on downloading it for fear that it would slow my system down. I'll give it a try.

I haven't had any crashes, but I can't do any decent renderings and raytrace is not working well at all.

I often pondered this question myself.

Do you have Terrain turned on in 3D views?

What do you mean by off center?

Very cool

That's why they call him the problem solver.

Me too, t

YES! use 2 monitors you can do so much more with them. Once you have 2 monitors you'll never want to go back to just one.
