problem with opening options dialog

Post by samuelz »

verytime when I go to File>Options, it pops up message saying "the parameter is incorrect", then it goes to the option dialog. I am using the latest PrimalScript, any idea? thanks.

Please always specify the exact version and build number. When someone reads this post 2 year from now they should know which exact build this build refers to. Thanks.

Did this suddenly start when using this specific build or is this an effect after updating to the latest build?

And what about the second question?
What page is it showing when you go to the options dialog?

cannot remember when it started happening, but before and after the update, it happens everytime when I open the options dialog, and it goes to the page whichever I left on the last time. any other information that will be helpful for you to find the cause? thanks!

Get the latest service build and see if the problem persists.

Please don't try to hack anything.
Can you export this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAPIEN Technologies, Inc.\PrimalScript\2012

to a reg file and email it to support@sapien.com

Maybe we can reproduce the problem that way.

Not really, we have found no way of reproducing this and no one else reported this.
You shouldn't have to go into the settings often enough to make this annoying, so why don't you tell me why you go there all the time? Maybe that way we can figure out what happened to cause this.
