Unknown exception error

[Benjamin Roy]

Mastercam keeps crashing so I looked in the event logger and I saw error types: Unknown exception occured. GPU drivers are up to date.

specs:
I9-10900K
RTX4000
128GB Ram

Your Mastercam.Workspace file my have become corrupted

Move this file

"C:\Users\*** your user nemae ***\Documents\My Mastercam 2022\Mastercam\CONFIG\Mastercam.Workspace"

and launch Mastercam.. it will create a new default file

I had to set Mastercam to Run as Administrator to avoid crashes. Been running flawless since. Maybe I'll try this.

Also give the Mastercam 2021 or Mastercam 2022 folder in Program files full control for your user account also. Since Windows 7 admin is not admin for program folders. To have full permissions it has to be given.

Reset the permissions and seems to be all good now. Thanks Ron.

Never had to do that before.

If Mastercam, Inventor, and CAMplete were compatible with Linnux, I'd kick Windows to the curb in a heartbeat.

Yeah, if any physical product performed like Windows the market would bury it. Microsoft was shrewd in the deals they made with PC makers in the nascent personal computer marketplace. Their demand that in order to ship any of their PCs with a copy of Windows, the manufacturer had to buy a seat for every PC the company sold, got them a leg up on better operating systems.

As of late, I have nothing but pure contempt and loathing for Microsoft. Pushing dog$#!+ UI's on users all in the name of eye candy and make it look like a mobile OS.

I found an example.
