VSpec under Win10???

Post by Ken Harrison »

I've had to re-install Vspec on a new Win10 PC....
Installed the 3.8.8 set-up as "Administrator" and ran the Vspec as "Administrator"
but the program doesn't load.....
Any ideas?

Hmmm
VSpec under Win10 64 with the suggested change to colour depth (256 colour) does work.....
BUT the mouse cursor when placed on top of a 2D image section turns into a white square - anywhere else on the screen it's OK.
The attached images show the mouse cursor on top of the 2D image section and is an obvious large (like 5mm square on my PC screen) white square......
The second image shows the "normal" cursor when the mouse is over the other areas of the VSpec screen.
Has anyone else experienced this issue????

This white square curson only appears in the "converted" 3.8.8 version.....update to the latest version - and it goes away!!!
Thanks for your patience.
