I just decided to update my LDAO, and ran into almost the exact same
problems, I _can_ generate the images for the VEC, but I can't display
them. It's the oddest behaviour:
When I open the catalogue, it's like almost all of the images is
invisible, a few of the can be seen, but all of them have their place,
that is - if I move th mouse around in the seemingly empty area I get
the part numbers listed for all the parts, I just can't see them:)
You mentioned something about an update (2.1.3) will it be available
soon, or am I better off digging out my old version?
regards
John
