Capricorn Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hi people, Recently I lost my View Settings in ArcScene and ArcGlobe 10.2.2. When I click on menu View -> View Settings nothing shows, only an error sound. Does anyone knows what could be the problem and how to reset View settings? Some people asked the same question on Internet, but no answer. This happens even when I open empty scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 maybe Normal.3dt (ArcGlobe), and Normal.sxt (ArcScene) broken, please delete and start the application again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks, but that was the first thing to try. It is strange that it doesn't work in both applications, meaning they call the same dll. Maybe I should try with another graphics drivers?

intertronic Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 i had some problem as well with nvidia.. already tried to initiate the "3d settings" with the graphic card sw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Now I installed new nVidia drivers for my card 560 GTX on Win7 x64, but this didn't help. I used this option in may this year and I know it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 hem, strange, actually, crashing UI could be anything in ArcGIS, display driver, incompatible extension, broken program, etc have you try to reinstall / repair it ? and unload all extension for arcgis? just my experience, sometime Arcgis get really annoying with so many broken things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Thanks for trying to help me Lurker. I'll try to track which nVidia drivers I had installed with the last successfull 3D project. If it doesnt help, then I will repair ArcGIS installation. I don't have any external extensions installed. Now I tried it in my firm on very slow x86 PC and that window works (with never updatet nVidia drivers). Also I tried it on my ASUS notebook I use for presentations and it is even worse. I can't load any ArcGIS application (ArcMap, ArcScene, ArcGlobe, ArcCatalog) and I get the message: The application failed to start because it could not find or load the QT platform plugin 'Windows'. I'm pretty sure this massage is a result of some new Windows updates, because there is no any message connected with ArcGIS for Desktop and QT on intire Internet.

Lurker Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 if the culprit is windows update, then it sucks, what windows you are using now? if you have system restore, than you maybe have little change to get back to windows before update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I use Win7 SP1 x64 (with all the updates installed). It would help to know which DLL is behing "View Settings", to track it with Dependancy Walker. Talking about notebook and QT problem, I realy don't know where ArcGIS for Desktop looks for it, or where in system it installed it's support files.

Capricorn Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 After I uninstalled and again installed ArcGIS on my notebook, I gave up and this morning I decided to format disk and install everything from scratch. Now at least I know that ArcGIS for Desktop is QT dependent, although I never installed QT developer tools myself . If someone find out how to solve the problem from the title (looks like everything else works but this window), please let me know. I believe it is something very stupid and obvious, but I don't know where to start looking for. Seems like it has nothing to do with nVidia drivers, because I did clean install of all of them I already had on my PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 reformat already, Im sorry to hear that you could investigate this start in error log on arcgis or something related to Qt in windows event viewer, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) reformat already, Im sorry to hear that you could investigate this start in error log on arcgis or something related to Qt in windows event viewer, That is a problem. Windows Event Viewer didn't write any event about it. I forgot about ArcGIS logs. Where are they? My notebook is for my presentations and testing anyway (not so full of installed applications), but my home PC is another story. It is full of applications I use every day (architectural, civil and mechanical CADD, DCC applications, GIS applications and tools, web servers and web design tools ...). Reformatting and getting into current state would probably take me 10 days Edited September 23, 2015 by Capricorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 error report should be here ; C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\ErrorReports but glad to know that your laptop only for presentation, so no need time to get things up and ready 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 My home PC has no this directory. They say it is created with the first ArcGIS crash. http://support.esri.com/de/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/40370 I really have never had a crash on ArcGIS Desktop or Server for many years. It is just lately a window that doesn't open with no message, only a beep sound. I don't see anything else that doesn't work, it just irritates me. I tried to track this operation with Dependency Walker but it gives misleading results. The next idea is to try with Sysinternals Suite and compare saved logs from my firm PC (although x86) an home PC. I really appreciate your time and efforts to help me solve problem. BTW, this is why I love this forum - it is not only a place for begging for new software, but also discussion about how to use it and how to solve real geospatial situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 in case your error related with QT library, why dont you try to install runtime for QT, this only my 0.02 cent of course, ehehehe, just trial and error yup, we try to help each other in this place, especially when we face problem I learn a lot here by helping other people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Finally I solved the "View Settings" problem Somehow i had unregistered ocx. regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArcGIS\ThirdParty\bin\HorizonDial.ocx" solved the problem. Of course, regsvr32 is the one in c:\Windows\SysWOW64\ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted May 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 copy line: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArcGIS\ThirdParty\bin\HorizonDial.ocx" to your Run window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
