A Funny Thing Happened When I Opened XWD365 today ...

[Dijenga]

So, I have been working on a new site about three days, with multiple saves ... and when I get ready to start work on it this afternoon, I no longer have access to any of the content I downloaded or the content from the web. Instead I get this neat little popup:



So, what am I missing here that needs to be checked:



Until I figure this out, no access to program's graphics, navbars etc.

I also noticed that the content tab on the far right is no longer visible.

Is there a way (short of reinstalling - I ABSOLUTELY HATE REINSTALLING SOFTWARE THAT HAS NOT BEEN ON MY COMPUTER MORE THAN A COUPLE OF YEARS!) that I can reset the software to "out of the box" state? Until I can, kinda dead in the water.

HELP!

Hi Dijenga, I would have called this A sad thing happened..... Try reopening as Administrator, perhaps it will be ok but no guarantee.

Run as Administrator as Roly suggests is always the best place to start. (Close Xara, then right click on the program icon and select Run as Administrator. You only need do this once and it will either work or it won't.

Sometimes Xara gets a wild hare (hair) up its and things go funny, as in corrupted file. Does this happen if you open a new document?

Crazy solution.

1. Untick ALL checks under Utilities / Galleries.

2. Close program. (Not sure it was necessary, but figured it was a good idea)

3. After restarting program, replace all checks.

Problem corrected.
