Oscar Stopped Working

Oscar Stopped Working
Hi .
I have just installed Oscar and imported data from sleepyhead. When complete the 'About Panel' is displayed and I can navigate around it.
When I close the 'About' panel my profile is loaded and reaches 100%. At this point a box pops up informing me that Oscar has stopped working with a choice of Close Program or debug. Debug takes me into Visual Studio.
Checking  the events viewer I find the event as below.
Running Windows 10 fully updated. Might not be relevant but after upgrading to Win 10 I had to run 'Sleepyhead - broken gl' , standard on Win 7.


AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7
16G ram
Win 10 10.0.17763 Build 17763.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks Rob

We can easily enough test to see whether graphics support is the problem by forcing OSCAR to use "legacy graphics" (should be about the same as "brokenGL" in SleepyHead).  I'll send you a PM with a link to a script that will edit the registry to turn on that mode.

Many thanks, that did the trick, or at least got past that failure. I will continue to try it out, but don't envisage any more problems.

Here is a batch file that will allow you set any of the graphc engine options.

We have a registry script that forces OSCAR to use a different version of the graphics engine that may solve your problem.

Download FixGraphics.reg, open Windows Explorer, navigate to where you saved the file, and double click on FixGraphcs.reg to update the registry.  You will get a variety of warning messages from Microsoft about the danger of editing the registry.  Go ahead and allow the registry changes to be made.  Restart OSCAR and see if that helps.

OSCAR has three different graphics engines available -- OpenGL, ANGLE, and Software engine.  OpenGL is the default but does not work with some older computers.  (While you can set the desired engine in the Preferences dialog, in cases like yours you cannot get to the Preferences dialog!)  The registry script forces use of the Software engine.  Later, if you want to try the ANGLE engine, go to File/Preferences/Appearance and select the ANGLE engine.  If it doesn't work after you do that, just run the registry script again and you'll be back to the software engine.

Let us know whether this solves your problem.

RE: Oscar Stopped Working
Thanks!   Using the registry change did the trick.  I went on and checked it with the ANGLE, and that took away all graphics for my nightly data.  So I ran the registry change again, and all is well.  Thank you SO much!
