  Hmm, mine has no trouble with those settings. ( not many settings in there really.. )
. Question:

  Is the program installed in the default C:\Gearotic Motion folder? What OS is this?
Have you tried running it with Run As Admin selected? 

I may have to generate a special version for you to test, so contact me at support@ gearotic.com with the answers to the above so I can send files to you. Did previous versions work for you?

Thx

I ran Gearotic on my workshop pc and also managed to crash it. When I first started gearotic I was able to generate a gear which was the wrong thickness so I deleted the wheel and then added a wheel and started getting errors

This is the sequence of events

1 Booted pc and deleted gearotic thoughts from registry
2 Started gearotic (it always seems to show the same startup tip ie alt 5)
3 Clicked circular gear and got the yellow start screen
4 Changed tooth count to 19 and width to 30 Also changed width window below calculator at bottom of screen to 30
5 Clicked calculator and selected gear diameter to 42.8 and clicked ok
6 Width selections both defaulted to 0.5 so I reset them to 30
7 Clicked add wheel and got error gearotic 1202
8 Program stopped responding

After this if I start gearotic I am asked if I want to reset defaults and I select yes but still have errors and have to shut te pc down and restart

My operating system is windows 7 and I have installed gearotic into the default files
I'm beginning to think that I am doing something stupid but can't see it?

Les:

  Are you using mm's but are set to inches in the options? I think your creating gears 30" in width and overloading your memory.

Try this, start program, go to the options screen and see if mm or inch is selected. I suspect this is why
Windows is being cryptic, its just being bogged down trying to ccreate a massive object. using inch defaults.
( It will create the gears .001 per slice in inch mode so a 40" gear woudl be 40,000 slices .. in mm mode it woudl be .25 or 4 slices..

That seems to be the problem, I thought I was being dof (south african word for stupid!)
Hopefully the next question will be worthwhile
