Should have looked around a little first. Sorry about that.

I started the program this morning and got the message that the software will expire in 7 days, check for update. I am updated to 5.2-5 which is the latest build. Will there be extensions given automatically?
Thanks

Garett,
I am running vista and I don't have any problems at all with e-cab software. My machine is a basic wal-mart variety Dell. By the same token I don't have to work on large projects so my video card doesn't get overloaded. Maybe one of the good guys will chime in and give you some useful info ...

Gary,
Sometimes you will have to shut down e-cab and restart. I know you have to do the drawing again but its the only way.

Michael,
Read the post, "Build 3 Update" it should help you.

Grady

Thanks Guys, i'll give it a shot.

Marvin,
Do a search for glass panels and the directions are there for making one. I have only done it once and can't remember the steps. It works great.

Jesse,
I have learned so much about the software just from reading the forum everyday. The resources for this software are quite extensive ie; forum, e-cabinets made easy and the training sessions. I am a figure it out for myself kind of guy but if i had to do it again I would take a training course ...

I guess this is a better subject than I thought.

Thanks guys for all the help. I never thought of using the print screen but it works like a champ.
Thanks again,

Kerry,
I've tried this before and I can't seem to get it to work either. For one thing I've never used it and don't know how. Unfortunately with Vista OS, the help utility for Infranview doesn't work. I've tried cntrl f11and most of the other keys on the key board to capture the screen shot but none ...
