New laptop with Windows 8- Settings issue

the only reason those first 29 sliders would be like that is if the lights were patched starting at 30...can you send me your show file so i can check it out

Will do. To clarify- my fixtures are like 1-80. All is fine, I will scroll my view rt to lt numerous times when suddenly I notice the whole template shifted over. So 1-29 dimmers are all on zero. The 1 dimmer is now on 30 making all if my dimmer settings 30-110. Other times I have notice 1 or 2 dimmers in a different position after scrolling rt-lt a few times. Oh, & in case I didn't mention when I go to any other programmed entry I've made they all have done the same thing & yet hadn't even gone to those yet...

One other detail. The setup was all originally made on an older laptop having XP & mydmx 1.0. I made a copy of the settings file& now using it on an HP g6 quad core with Windows 8 laptop utilizing the new driver set from you guys. Has been working perfect in the other computer. Difference here is: newer/fast computer, Windows 8 & different set of drivers for the OS.

one thing you could do, is re-address the fixtures to match....i know that sounds strange, but it could just work better that way...that is if you have a bunch of stuff already designed

I have 50+ songs with between 10 & 18 steps per song. When this occurs the 3D Visualizer shows a dark stage pertaining to the lights reset to zero. The only way I can fix right then is to recopy the original file. When I reopen that file all is good again till the dimmer settings act up again. I'm just not sure why it's acting this way when I had no problem before.

Resetting all of my fixtures to the new setting is crazy talk especially when I have no idea when or if the board is going to reset again. I have a string feeling it's not my computer but I haven't seen any posts similar to my situation. Everything else works fine on this laptop, just this quirk in this program. Any other ideas?

I've made a sample recording. Watch the settings on 15-18. Where can I send it? I'll send it to Luis S.

have you tried to do a new show....start fresh and make a few scenes and steps in the scenes....then run it to see if it does the same thing on the new show? try this and let me know....might be a glitch in the show file

Thought about it... Returned the new Windows 8 laptop & got a slightly used Dell with Intel i5 & Windows 7 (cost a bit more).

Bugger :-/ Seems to still do it but not nearly as bad. I really don't feel like rewriting 10-18 steps on 50+ scenes but may have to. I'll write a new little one & see if I can get it to act. Appears to do it more frequently if I scroll right to left rapidly. When it did this on the latest laptop I scrolled back and forth slowly & it reset. The other computer would just keep changing. We will see & I will update. Thanks for the idea!

Let me ask you this... If I am transferring the necessary files to a flash drive then on to another computer what are all the files I would need to copy over to include the 3D Visualizer?

It is best to simply copy the whole MyDmx2 folder and place ALL of the files into the new folder....this will let you use the show files with no issues

Hello guys..I also go through the same problem by my laptop and window 8 but after re install the window problem of window 8 is finished and working well...Which brand of laptop?

The Windows 8 laptop was HP. I'm now running an Windows 7 on a Dell. I don't think the brand made a difference but possibly W7 does. Not sure still but the problem is not as bad with W7...

At this point that may seem to be the most probable cause. I initially got the basic scene setup from someone by getting the whole program. Still needed to download yours so it installed into Windows. Originally I downloaded your program then copied his whole program into the same file. When I transferred the scene & 3D Visualizer files there were 4 files I copied over. All seemed to work fine till I started recently noticing the fixture setting changing as I scrolled rt to lt. I will try the suggestion of making a fresh scene file & see if it acts up. Lots of work required to redo every one I have. Will update at that time.
