Hi Chad,
=20
Many thanks for your prompt response.
=20
I did install it with Sourceforge and it installed a number of =
sub-directories as C:\Program Files (x86)\PCB-4.2.0. If you want more =
details, let me know what you want and how to recover it.
=20
I have tried uninstalling it and re-installing in another directory, but =
that was the same.
=20
I have just noticed a compatibity troubleshooter in the =
=E2=80=98properties=E2=80=99 page. I have run this and it suggested =
trying to run in windows 8 compatibility mode, but that seems to have =
made no difference.
=20
It may be of interest to note that it does not appear to display the =
grid either.
=20
If it helps, the message log in pcb has the following information:
=20
Note: home directory is "C:\Users\Brian"
Using default menus
Can't open file
'PCB.00009740.save'
fopen() returned: 'Permission denied'
=20
What permission is being denied? I have not seen a file =
pcb.00009740.save, but I do not know where I should be looking for it =
either.
=20
I do not know how I have got into the situation where I have a home =
directory set, and I do not know how to change it (or what to).
=20
My son got me to try some other pcb layout programs, none of which I =
found logical (or easy to use).
=20
Many thanks for your time and help
=20
Regards and best wishes
=20
Brian

Hi Brian-
=20
That's odd, I haven't heard of such an issue before.=20
=20
How did you install pcb? Did you use the installer on Sourceforge, or =
did you build it from source? Also, which version of pcb are you working =
with?
=20
Thanks,
--Chad

Hi,

I am a new user of the pcb software, using windows-10.
=20
I have managed to install the software, and it seems to be operating =
satisfactorily, except that I am not getting anything displayed in the =
board area of the screen. I have tried operations and saved the work, =
and looked at the file generated (with notepad) and items (symbol =
library, vias, elements and lines) seem to have been inserted on the =
board. I have all layers set to display. Library elements show in the =

up.
