MR2 becoming corrupted???

[Thee Dragracer1951]

For the second time in a couple of weeks, MR2 on my office programming station has become corrupted and will not start. I can't send the issue to QC because that computer has no email. it has access to the web, but no email.

Has anyone else seen this? I'm going to send an email to QC to see what they have to say.

This happened a couple of weeks ago and the only cure was a complete reinstall

Jim,

 

I have the same problem here today. Tried a reinstall and nothing worked...

[Thee Dragracer1951]

I just did an uninstall and then reinstalled it and I'm back up and running but I'm curious if QC has this as a bug or what??

[Leif Johnson from MICO Inc]

I did a complete uninstall then reinstalled as well.

I think it is just the config file that gets whacked out and not sure if that file is deleted when you do an uninstall.

 

 

Try moving the mcamx.cfg file and let MC make a new one.

[Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.]

also make sure to clear you registry and mcam can rebuild it.

Ya...ya... what Rick said too...

 

I use Winferno power registry tool and it keeps meh registry in tip top shape...

[Thee Dragracer1951]

I just got a couple of emails from Chris in QC (Thanks Chris) nad he suspects that it may have something to do with the fact that I have side by side instalations back to V9.1 MR105. I'm going to remove them and see what happens. I'll also look into a registry cleaning program

[Henk]

I've 9.1MR0105, X2MR1SP1 and X2MR2 on my box.

No problems

[Dazz]

Yes it is config files, i found i had to uninstall mr2 becouse it was to unstable especialy using duel screens and multiple apps.

Jim,

 

If you have web access on that computer, you can send email. Just go to Hotmail and sign up for a Hotmail email account. Then you can use the hotmail web page to send and recieve email.

 

The other thing that seems to affect MR2 is migrating your config files. I recommend you dump all your config, MTB, and KMP files and recreate them in from scratch in MR2.

Colin,

 

where are these and how many of them are there because I had my IT guy delete my migrated config file to start "fresh" but when I went back into mr2 it still obviously had parts of my old configuration. So there must be more than one.??? And I have no idea where the mtb and kmp files are.

 

thanks

[Sunder]

I had this problem before but not now; even after re-installation I got a error saying "invalid exe".

this may be due to the registry files in the system.

search for REGISTRY CLEAN EXPERT software & uninstal MC.it uninstalls completely & deletes the registry entries.

I am having the same problems today, I did a complete reinstall yesterday but I am thinking about going back to MR1 today...

[sharles]

Colin,

 

or anyone else, want to let me know where the files Colin was talking about. I'd like to use MR2 if I can solve the crashing issue.

 

Thanks.

Go to where Mc is installed:

 

C:/mcamx/config, there right in there.

mastercam.kmp

mastercam.mtb

mcamx.config

 

move the to desk top, open mastercam and it will

create new ones from desktop.

 

Keep in mind your custom settings will be gone

and you will just have to set it all up again.

 

If this solves your problem

then you just delete the old ones

 

HTH

I'll give that a try too.

it's a bit frustrating to uninstall, reinstall, re setup. On'y to have to do it again in two weeks. I'd like to get it cured.

The time kills me when I'm working 12/15hrs a day 7 days a week

[sharles]

Thanks Rick,

 

I'll give it a try.

Maybe I should wait before upgrading.

Seems like there are a lot problems?

[Thee Dragracer1951]

I wouldn't wait. I have a seat if MR2 on my Dell laptop that runs just finr. No issues whatsoever.

But my puter in the office in a dual monitor (well...so is the laptop) and has more versions on it that I need to take off.

[SaltyAcres]

I found remove the config file only, let MC create a new on, and keep the .kmp, ,mtb file.

and working on new files started on mr2 seen to stable for now ( 4 days no crash and counting).

Copying files down from machine group to machine group, I can get it crash every time. Yes I did send it to MC and followed up with a phone call.

[Thee Dragracer1951]

Did it again.

I'm completely deleting all mastercam versions from my prog computer. Starting fresh.

This is not a happy day. I have parts I need to ship in the morning that's not going to happen now. I'm going to have one PISSED customer

[Dan@home]

Just a thought...Did you rename or delete all the old folders that remained after uninstalling previous versions? New install will link itself to old folder if you don't, and the custom configs ext will mess with MR2. This happened to me also

[Thee Dragracer1951]

I deleted everything on the hard drive associated with Mastercam.

Then I deleted everything I could find in the regestry associated with Mastercam.

We'll see....

[Thee Dragracer1951]

I've reinstalled

Now it won't post

Error. write nc operation info must be enabled in control def. set and repost

 

Where the HELL do I change this at.
