Installing OSCAR
Data won't load correctly (or at all)
OSCAR starts but crashes
If I open the profile then the program crashes
Description: After creating a profile, OSACAR crashes when the user first attempts to open that profile.
Possible fault mechanism: OSCAR has three different graphics engines available -- OpenGL, ANGLE, and Software engine. OpenGL is the default but does not work with some older computers. The problem may be overcome by using an alternative graphic engine.
Solution or workaround:
Disclaimer: Editing the Windows registry can cause damage to your computer including the possibility that it will no longer work. Undertake this procedure at your own risk.
- Download FixGraphics.reg, open Windows Explorer, navigate to where you saved the file, and double click on FixGraphcs.reg to update the registry.
- You will get a variety of warning messages from Microsoft about the danger of editing the registry. Go ahead and allow the registry changes to be made.
- Restart OSCAR and see if that helps.
The registry script forces use of the Software engine. Later, if you want to try the ANGLE engine, go to File/Preferences/Appearance and select the ANGLE engine. If it doesn't work after you do that, just run the registry script again and you'll be back to the software engine.
