Edius 5 Lost Dialog Box

[bigrick]

Anton,

Yes I will try this tonight after work. After uninstall, I know I can delete all the references to Edius (delete the Canopus directory in program files), but I am not sure about the app data or the registry. What do I look for, specially in the registry?

Thanks again for trying to help.

Regards....

So you reset it one screen and then went into Edius and set the Layout to default? If that doesn't work, I am at a loss.

Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data (look for Canopus and delete)

Documents and Settings/Your current login account/Application Data (look for Canopus and delete)

start, run, type regedit

expand the key current user and delete Canopus

expand local machine and delete Canopus

reboot

empty temp folder in Documents and Settings/Your current login account/Local Settings (show hidden files and folders must be enabled)

install Edius

Success

Hi Anton and Vaughan,

Here is what I did:
- Uninstalled Edius 5
- Uninstalled all plugins
- Looked for all occurrences of Edius and Canopus in the file system and deleted everything that remained.
- Made a backup of the registry
- Made a search for all occurrences of Edius and Canopus in the Registry and deleted them
- rebooted
- reinstalled Edius 5
- rebooted
- Started up Edius

---- SUCCESS ----

Everything is fine now. I can see the famous "Video layout" dialog box. How beautiful it is.......

With about 6 hours of lost time spent on this issue, I am a bit frustrated, but all is well that ends well as they say.

But if it happened to me, it will happen to someone else. I only wish GrassValley would try to reproduce this problem and fix it.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your help.

Over and out.....

only reinstall did not repair a "corrupt user file"
all the folder under >> Documents and Settings/Your current login account/Application Data .... kept untouched

I have a similar problem with 5.0 Demo ........ the "old (4.xx) trick" with <default layout< dit not work under 5.0

Edius closed >> renamed the folder "Setting" under the following path: ....(Edius build it new, when you start Edius)
Documents and Settings/Your current login account/Application Data/Canopus/EDIUS/5.00/
and violaaa......... my bin are return......

example: you see the marked, renamed Setting-folder and above the new builded Setting folder (my username= videolocy3-master)




eventually, create a "new user" brings the same effekt

excuse my miserable english, greetings from europe to europe ... old (but not morbid) Hans ;-)

[EDIT]

sorry, .... I see I coming to late
maybe for the next user with lost windows under 5.0...
