Non-Fatal Errors Loading Component & Pattern Editors

[EDP]

I'm seeing frequent error messages while loading Component Editor and Pattern Editor. These generally appear the first time I load the modules during a work session and do not repeat if the modules are later re-started. When I click "OK" on the error windows, the modules open and appear to function normally. I've seen no errors using Schematics or PCB Layout.

System is a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10 Pro 22H2, build 19045.2965. DipTrace v4.3.0.5.

You can try to reset DipTrace settings in Windows registry. Please close DipTrace programs, find Default.reg file in DipTrace folder and run it. That will reset DipTrace settings in Windows registry to default. Then start library editors and let me know if you continue getting the error window.

Thanks for helping me, Alex. I ran Default.reg as you suggested. Unfortunately, I'm still seeing the errors when I run Component and Pattern Editors, even after re-booting Windows. Do you have any other ideas on how to fix this?

May I offer a suggestion? In the future, when you tell users to run Default.reg, you might want to advise them to make a screen capture of their custom colors in "View > Colors..." in both Schematics and PCB Layout, as well as the "Layers" listing on the right side of the screen in Pattern Editor. I had a lot of color customization done in my installation, and Default.reg made all of it disappear. Putting those changes back would have been a lot easier if I had screen captures showing my settings.

Thank you!

Bump. Still seeing startup errors in Component and Pattern Editors. Are there any other ideas to fix this? Thanks.
