CPT Community

The first time Iinstalled CPT 3.2 I could use the training mode without any problem and I used it several time. Of course I also experimented with several options. After a few days, I begon to have some problems, for example, starting a training session I got on my screen only an incomplete Training Wizard image, with the bottom (Back - Next - Cancel) missing. And now, when I start a training session, I have no more any Wizard at all, I come straight to the Training Center.... which is empty except the title: Training Center) and doesn't react (except the button at the top left: Restore, Move, Close...etc , and Options nView).
What I find very strange: confronted with that problem I fully removed the program several times and loaded it again, but I always have the same problem. I also loaded different Repertoires, with the same result.
Of course, without training possibilities CPT becomes fully useless. It is a pity as it seems to be a nice program. Can someone help me?

Hello Raymond,

there seems to be a resource problem on your system. Either memory / hard disk space is short in relation to the repertoire you are loading or the .Net Framework is corrupted. The latter you can verify by either repairing the framework via the control panel->software or re-installing it.

I hope this solves your problem.

Thanks Stefan. It is not a problem of memory / hard disk: I have a modern PC and still 97 GB free on my hard disk. It could have been a problem with Microsoft Net Framework, as I downloaded the upgrade 2.0 As a matter of fact, chechking with the Control Panel, I found on my PC several versions of Microsoft Net Frameworks, version 1.1 and version 2, in english and in french (my windows XP is in french). After hours of trial, I removed everything sounding like Microsoft Net Framework and also CPT. Then I did a new CPT set up. I was invited to install Microsoft Net Framework 1.1 ,what I did using the link given by the set up, and I reinstalled CPT 3.2. Well, at the end, the Training Center is still completely dead (see my description in my first message). It is too crazy.... In any case, thaks for your help. It made certainly sense to suspect some corruption of Microsoft Net Framework, but now that I tried everything, I don't know any more.
Thanks again. - Raymond

Hello Raymond,

I would hate to give up so quick. On the other hand you tried all the typical things I could think of and would have tried too.

What you discribed sounds to me 99% like a memory issue, but you said it isn't. If it is not a corrupt installation of the framework I could imagine some other things like virus or XP installation issue (no, I'm not suggestion to re-install WinXP just for CPT :).

The thing is that it hardly can be a problem of CPT itself if it worked already fine.

Did you try to use the training center with a new and very small repertoire?

Stefan

Thanks Stefan.
I also assume that the problem is not CPT itself, but something in my system. In any case, I tried at once your suggestion and reduced one repertoire to a very small size, without any improvement. By the way, when the training center worked perfectly, I used the Standard Repertoire downloaded from CPT's site. And I don't really believe in a virus, as I use Norton Internet Security, and did a full check of my PC a few days ago. Perhaps I will try to use the possibility given by Windows XP to get back to a previous state of the system, despite the fact thatI don't like it very much as my other programs work perfectly.
Well I keep you informed if I find something.
Thanks again.

Hello !
I wasn't able to go back to a previous state of the system, so I tried still something different. Instead of working with my own account on Windows XP, I used my wife's account (which has also the status of Administrator) and... it worked: I found an integre Training Center and could use it. The only point: when I use the Training Wizzard to start the training session, the first window is incomplete, i.e.. I can read : "to continue, click next" but I don't have a NEXT buttom, and the following windows of the Wizzard are very small and, in any case, give you very little choice between various options. With other words, such a Wizzard is not really useful, and I think I have there already a problem. By the way, it was just tthe same as long as I could open the Training Center from my own account.
Back to my own account, I still face the problem described from the beginning, i.e. no more Traing Wizzard and a Trainig Center which is only a blue screen without any response.
Sorry for this long description. Perhaps it gives some indication of what could be the trouble on my PC? Could someone tell what I can try to tune on my Windows' account?
Best regards.

Raymond
