Oscar shuts down when open profile is selected.

I got as far as copying the script to a txt file in notepad but then no further. I must be missing a step.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing Oscar and was surprised to find my profile in the new install! I guess that info. is stored outside of the program in the computer. The new install behaves as the previous one did.

You don't need to put it in Notepad. Just download and save it to disk, with a name ending in .reg.  Then double-click on the file to run the script.  Windows knows that files ending in .reg are registry editing scripts.

Yes, the data directory is in your Documents folder.  Uninstalling OSCAR does not remove any data that you have created.

I am using Windows 10 (x64), but have an older machine. I get the same exact issue - after I have completed my profile and tried to select it to import data it, the program immediately shuts down so I may need the same assistance. Thanks!

I've sent you a PM with instructions on how to download and run the registry editing script that may fix that issue for you.

Modifying the registry seems to have done the trick! I can now select my profile and it no longer crashes. Thank you very much for the quick assistance and getting me up and running.

We have a registry script for forcing OSCAR to use 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 that worked for you.
