Hello, I’m facing the following problem: when working on a previously created file and saving it (overwriting existing file) a message occurs reading that the file is opened in read-only mode, so I can only save it as a copy. It also happens so, when I create a new file, save it as a fresh file and…

Hi Michal, Lets start by getting your .Net repaired and then do a Repair install of your Rhino. [image] Windows updated and now rhino won't start! -HOW TO FIX Rhino for Windows A very common tech support case is windows updates and now Rhino won’t start. Or you updated f…

Hi Japhy, Ok, I got my .Net repaired both through the Net repair tool and Rhino repair (just to be sure). I also ran VC reinstaller (the fourth step in the link). For that I had to relog to my admin account, becouse at my daily one the VC reinstaller responded with errors. The problems with Rhino h…

When you say login to Admin is this your windows admin/user or various Rhino Accounts? If that’s so this is pointing towards User Account Control permissions or anti-virus software.

I mean my windows accounts. I’m going to check these settings and let you know.

Actually I did the last upgrade of Rhino on the admin account, right after VC reinstaller done there. Now I can’t tell whether disabling antivirus would let the update installer to go through. Should I uninstall Rhino, disable antivirus and install it again?

Ok, I did so. I disabled antivirus and run a repair. Saving files is still not working properly afterwards. I will contact with European tech support then. Thank you Japhy for your aid!
