(SOLVED) Old versions

[bogari0171]

HI,

i have a problem with my old PTE shows.

I have installed version 8 already for a long time and up to a week ago I kept also version 7

Now I have disinstalled version 7 and I can no more open the shows which were produced with this version. They do not appear with the known little bird, but as white icon.

Is there a way to recover the situation or should I consider the old shows lost?

Thanks for help

Hi Claudio

What has happened depends on how your files were stored I think. You could re-install the old version from the WNsoft web site as a temporary fix until someone has a better idea.

Did you try to start PTE 8, and then open the old projects (*.pte files) via PTE's file menu (File > Open). Maybe you have problem with file associations?

Thanks for the first answers.

As a matter of fact my situation is even worse because

Now I can not open any PTE file, even the new ones.

They still seem to be stored correctly, but they are shown with white icons instaead of the little bird.

May be that when I have disinstalled the version 7 some link with the .pte files has been cancelled.

Is it suggestable to disinstall version 8 and the reinstall it again?

Thank for any help

Claudio,

Use this and then re-install version 8:

Thanks Dave

I am afraid I do not have this program (is it a standard windows program?)

Shall I disinstall version 8 via control panel and then reinstall it again?

Thanks for help

Dave, I found unins000.exe relevant to PTE 8, so I will proceed according to your suggestion

Thanks

Dave, I followed your suggestion and everything is now working OK

By the way Dave, do you have a template for the dodecahedron?

Thanks again

Hi Claudio,

Do you mean this:

Apply the style to create the "Template".

No Dave,

I was meaning the dodecahedron and not the icosahedron.

Hi Claudio,

Here is a "Half-Dodecahedron" for you to play with.

I do not have the time to complete it right now but I will come back to it later.

Please PM me if you have any Questions?

P.S. There are perhaps other/simpler ways of doing it but working with Triangular .png files you can construct almost any geometric shape.

Thanks Dave,

I think I saw it on the French Forum and it was made up starting with pentagons
