Hi everybody,

I just finished installing Mathacd 14 on my Windows 10 PC.

Whenever I try to click on the traces tab in the graph property windows it crashes with an internal error.

I tried reinstalling and reparing it but neither worked.

I hope you can help me.

Ok i found a solution.

I uninstalled Mathacad and deleted everything i could find associated with it.

Downloaded the installation again.

Disabled my antivirus program as well as windows firewall

Installed Mathacd in WINXP mode.

Solved the problem for me.

Try right clicking on Mathcad.exe and setting the compatibility mode to Windows XP.

Ok tried that but it still keeps crashing. tough not with the internal error msg. It's just the generic Windows msg. (Mathacad Application has stopped working)

Now the 14 is no longer in production. You had better download the 15 with Prime 3.1 student edition.

In addition, the 14 works well with Windows XP.

A license for version 14 will not work with version 15
