3D Canvas 7 Not working on Windows 7 Computer - Script Host Problem ?

Hi Vern

I can get 3D Canvas 7 working in Win 7 64 bit - a bit wobbly but usually stays running long enough to cobble together simple items.

I use Canvas regularly and extensively on W7 64 bit and it is always rock steady, fast and accurate and I still use it in preference to Crafter as at the moment as I think it is a more practical program despite its age. Hopefully, Crafter will eventually be developed into a much more stable offering than it is at the moment.

It seems that there is no single answer here, with differing experiences from people using the same software, and the thought of having to re-install Windows to solve a problem seems absurd although that is apparently the ultimate solution in some cases.

Hi Jim, Geoff,

Thanks for your help with this.......... I'm nervous of a Windows re-install and will reserve it for a last attempt - but I am going to look at the registry solution - after backing up my data and the registry of course ! :) - I'll let you know how I get on - if you don't hear from me again you will know that it went badly !! :lol: :lol:

Cheers

Hi Jim,

Sadly didn't work, but I'm still here - I just changed the registry entries as suggested in the link - there were many entries with the key in question - all but one had two entries though, showing vbscript.dll in the windows syswow64 folder and the system32 folder - I added this entry under the name Default Engine REG_SZ as with all the other instances of the vbscript key mentioned.

Looks like I might have to do a Windows 7 repair as per your other link ? - I'll have to be careful though because its SP1 and not the original disc.

BTW - what do you have under your wscript.exe keys in your registry ? - mine shows (Default) REG_SZ "Value Not Set" and NoOpenWith REG_SZ blank


Would this be useful to repair my Windows 7 64 Bit system ? ...........

The repair disc I did years ago is pre Sp1.

I can't check reg settings at the moment as I am away. Not sure about the disc as not done any reinstalls for a while. Hopefully someone else can advise.

Hi Jim,

I tried all the suggestions in the links you gave me. In the final attempt my Windows 7 Upgrade failed . Scannow indicates problems that it can't fix. It looks like only a disk format and fresh install of Windows 7 will work now ?

Cheers

Very sorry to hear that Paul. The positive is that at least you should have a nice running system afterwards.
