Posts: 1738 		I opened Muvizu today for the first time in a while... and the camera view window is gone! Clicking VIEW > SHOW CAMERAS WINDOW does not work.

Also, if I right click on a camera or other object, then click EDIT.... nothing happens. No properties dialog appears.

Right click > edit for characters still works

Is anybody else experiencing this?

I don't know the solution to this problem, but I think I understand what's going on. It sounds like the windows for these things are behind the main Muvizu window. Have you tried reinstalling?

Posts: 1738 		I DLed the only downloadable version I'm aware of (from the GET MUVIZU page > DOWNLOAD) and reinstalled over top of what was already there. In case the necessary .Net /C++ libraries somehow got corrupted, I reinstalled them too. I did NOT uninstall because I wasn't sure how that would impact all the extra content I've bought. (Reinstalling did not fix anything)

I've had the "hidden window" problem in other software, but it didn't occur to me to try ALT-TAB to see if it brought any open windows to the foreground. I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion!

But... if the edit dialog boxes are appearing in the background, it doesn't explain why the CHARACTER edit dialog appears as usual.

Fair point. Your content packs and licences are tied to your account so uninstalling shouldn't affect anything.
Since you've had problems with other programs too, it sounds like a graphics driver issue. Have you got the latest drivers for your graphics card?

If none of this helps, send in a support ticket: http://www.muvizu.com/Support They'll probably answer tomorrow.

well... same graphic card and drivers as the last time everything worked (during the 50% off sale) when I bought everything that I didn't already have and checked it out.)

Since it looks like an upgrade is coming this week, I may hold off until then. If the upgrade doesn't change anything, then I'll file a support ticket.

Thanks for your help... I really appreciate it!

==============update=========

I didn't uninstall the extra content, but I did remove the latest version and reinstalled my original version 2015.08.05.01R (64-

Now everything works again (except keyframing, of course.... hopefully I'll get that back next week)

MrDrWho, you are one helpful individual! I appreciate all that you have done to help me and so many others on this forum! You da Man!

Regarding my problem, as it turns out I went to lot of trouble for nothing. The REAL problem (ever since my first installation, apparently) is caused somehow by the program being maximized. If I make it sizable and stretch it to fit my screen, all of the aforementioned problems go away. If nobody else has that experience, I'm content to go on un-minimizing the program so it works. No need for a ticket to be issued.

(I'm going now to snag those other versions, just in case...) ;-)
