Title: I think i have a simple problem
Post by: veniema on February 20, 2014, 01:46:24 AM
I load the program and it lets me see all the options, (image one) but then when i go to any other tab and come back all the options are locked an un-editable.
does anyone know how to fix this problem? ive re-installed a number of times. (im on windows 7 64 bit.)

not every fractal can use ALL of the options

This is this windows7  so  ,did you install "Mandelbulber" into C://Program Files ( the DEFAULT install location)

if so there is a VERY VERY well known MICROSOFT CAUSED PROBLEM
they royal "FUBAR'ed"  the UAC in 7
messed it up big time .

programs installed into  "C://Program Files" have problems writing into the install folder to save temp files
( Microsoft CAUSED THIS , not  Mandelbulber )

install Mandelbulber to
c://Mandelbulber
and that should fix it

Yes, i did exactly use the default install location.
I Just reinstalled the program and it seems to be working great now!

Thank you JohnVV.
