Hi Jean,
Which processor do you have in your computer? Also send me the output of Menu >> Help >> Sys Info and Benchmark. Thanks.

One more thing: Does the error go away when you use [ Menu >> Configure >> Safe-mode ] ?

Problem found:
The "difference" mode is attempting to use an sSSE3 instruction without checking if your processor supports it. Yours doesn't, so it fails with "illegal instruction". Please download Chasys Draw IES again after 12 hours; I'll fix the issue are a minor build update.

UPDATE: The fix is ready for download; please test and revert.

Here is the information requested:

Processorr : Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz

I again download Chasys Draw IES but problems persist:

- The Blending Mode DIFFERENCE bug and a window asks me to close Chasys Draw IES Artist.

- Chasys Draw IES Artist (4.35.02) opens but without the window New Project.

- Chasys Draw IES Viewer (4.35.02) ; Chasys Draw IES Converter (4.35.02) ; Chasys Draw IES raw-Photo (4.35.02) do not open and I have to restart the computer to stop the launch of these applications.

Hi,
Please confirm that the version displayed in [Help >> About] has changed from "ver. 4.35.02 (Nov 30 2015)" to "ver. 4.35.02 (Dec 1 2015)"

Hi,
I've managed to secure a PC with a Pentium D 3.40 Ghz processor, and can confirm that the "Dec 1 2015" release does not have the "Illegal Instruction" problem. Kindly check and confirm that you have the "Dec 1 2015" release, not the "30 Nov 2015".

Hi John Paul Chacha

I just downloaded and installed Chasys Draw IES Artist ver. 4.35.02 (Dec 1 2015). The Blending Mode DIFFERENCE works well.

But :
- Chasys Draw IES Artist opens directly without opening the window New Project.
- Chasys Draw IES Viewer, Converter and raw-Photo do not open. It is not possible to edit an image in these applications : the mouse cursor waiting does not end after you click on an image for editing in Viewer but without success.

Hi Jean,
You may need to restart your computer after the installation to remove the old thumbnail handler, which will solve the issue with the image folders. I'll try to reproduce the failure you're experiencing with the other applications then get back to you.

Hi John Paul Chacha

I have to restart my computer after installing Chasys Draw IES but the problem still persists with the image folders. The icons images appear without preview as seen in the image in my previous post. I did not have these problems with previous versions of Chasys Draw IES.

 
     

John Paul Chacha (jpcha2) on Wed, 2nd Dec 2015 at 06:05:07

I think you may have some components of the previous version still installed (though this should never happen). Have you tried doing a complete uninstall followed by a restart then a full reinstall?
I'm still trying to reproduce this failure on the Pentium D machine I got without success.

Hi John Paul Chacha

I followed your instructions to the letter. Chasys Draw IES Artist and Viewer now works perfectly. But Chasys Draw IES Converter and raw-Photo do not open.

Hi John Paul Chacha

I just updated Windows 10 on my computer and now Chasys Draw IES Artist, Converter, Raw-photo and Viewer work perfectly. Thank you for your attention and time you gave me to resolve my problem. Thank you again and good continuation.

 
     

John Paul Chacha (jpcha2) on Sat, 19th Dec 2015 at 13:35:51

You're welcome. I'm still curious as to what exactly was causing the problem, though. Which update did you install?

 
     

Jean Pierre (jeanpierre) on Sat, 19th Dec 2015 at 14:50:58

It is the update of November 2015 of Windows 10 Version 1511.
