That’s another reason you should be taking periodic image backups of your computer. If you run into problems, you can easily recover your computer back in time, to a point in time when your computer functioned perfectly. Acronis backup imaging software works very well. Your computer can easily be recovered in less than an hour after starting the recovery process. I wouldn’t use the Microsoft backup software, because the recoveries using the Microsoft sometimes fail. I wouldn’t recommend doing a factory restore either because then you have to restage all the software and configuration. It’s best to be prepared to easily recover your computer before the disaster occurs. The Acronis backup software is dirt cheap compared to going through a lot of hassles and frustration fixing computer problems. I recovered a lot of servers using backup imaging software. In business, downtime costs a lot of money before I retired. The servers I managed we’re all backed with periodic automated imaging. There was very little stress for me to recover servers. Other servers that were managed by other people weren’t protected with imaged based backup. System updates always have some risk. Sometimes updates go very bad, even after testing the updates using test servers. When the production servers needed to be recovered, those people who didn’t have image based backups, were totally stressed out, taking days to recover their servers, instead of taking 30 minutes to a few hours, of very easy work recovering servers. It makes a huge difference if you’re prepared to quickly and easily recover a computer. Most people that work in IT never learn that lesson! Dave KY0L1

Tnx ever so much from me as well! I had planned upgrade of HRD during the weekend.0

It may be wise to not be an early adapter of updates, upgrade and the like to avoid issues like this. I almost always wait a month or so before downloading anything

Maybe you were already up to date with Load VisuCalc C+++ 2017?0
-
I don't know. Install went fine here. I did recently update to Windows 10 version 1809 which did break my DAX drivers. Maybe C+++ 2017 was included in that 1809 update.

No issues here.0

Downloaded and installed this version of HRD on two laptops with no issues. I was asked to download C+++2017 during the HRD download with no problems. I’m running Windows 7 on both machines. John ,W8AGS0

The new version didn't mess with my DAX drivers, but it did corrupt/lose my Flex Control settings. It also lost memory of the positioning of SSDR on my 3-monitor setup, and the PC gave me "Something went wrong and your computer needs to restart" blue screen. It did that twice but after doing a proper shutdown of SSDR and restarting it, It seems to be OK now.0

Hey I work in IT and I hound the heck out of my customers to setup image and disaster recovery and provide them with many options. With a few of them its all automated hands off they don't do a thing except call me if there is an issue and most times I know that even before they do with the RMM services.. Dave is 100% spot on. It only takes 15 minutes to few hours in very large data cases to do a full restore of an image which, will have you back up and running 100% like it was before the problem. No reloading, downloading, looking for program key numbers, and re-configuring. Acronis and Macrium Reflect are two very good options. Set them up, schedule your image/differential time, test it and forget about having to do a full re install of all your programs and operating system.0
