After I create a design and save it, then when I go back to open it back up it will not pull up, my PCStitch 11 just sits there circle spinning and then it says not responding and gets stuck.

Can you open PCStitch without opening a pattern? I mean, just double-click on the PCStitch icon rather than double-clicking on the pattern you wish to load.

If you cannot load PCStitch at all, I suggest you uninstall it, reboot your computer, and then re-install the product.

I can open PCStitch11 fine, and I can create a design and save it. but I can not pull the pattern I saved back up later. I can not get it to pull up a save PAT either within PCStitch11 or from the file, either way, but I can get completely out of PCStitch11 and it will pull up app fine and let me create, but I just cannot view the saved pattern afterwards.

OK, this sounds like a silly question but I'm just trying to isolate what may be the problem.

Can you give me a detailed step by step on how you are trying to either open PCStitch with the pattern or opening PCStitch and then loading the pattern?

Include an idea of what windows folders are in use but not necessarily the exact names.

Is there anything special in the patterns, such as library motifs?

hi,
I just go in PCStitch and create a new pattern from scratch and once I have it like I want , I save save, and save to a folder in my windows my documents labeled pcstitch graphs. Normally I could open the graph in two ways. either by going to the folder and finding the saved graph, and clicking and it would open with pcstitch, or I would open pcstitch and click on the OPEN window, and select one of my graphs that had had previously created and saved. Currently it will let me go in PCstitch and create a new graph, and then save to my computer, but then I cannot pull it back up after that. Normally you should be able to pull up any graph you created and saved to your computer.

Have you tried to uninstall PCStitch, reboot, and then re-install? I would recommend using something like Revo-Uninstaller (there is a free version and a portable version -- just a zip) to remove the registry entries.

Does that work? The uninstall does not remove the patterns, especially if they are in another folder.
