On opening a solid modelling program two windows are generated with a message 'Invalid Pointer'. If these windows are deleted the file created cannot be saved. Further, when I try to update the software the system fails.

    Hi!

    There are several modeling programs, so I need to know the name of the program you are having trouble with, as well as its version.

    Additionally, please answer the questions below so that I can gather more information about the issue:

    1. When did the problem begin? Did it happen after an update to Windows, the program itself, or any drivers (especially the graphics card driver)?
    2. Is this the first time you are installing this program, or was it already installed and working previously?
    3. What specific error message appears when the program update fails? Please send me a screenshot.
