  • In an attempt to get the RV settings back, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but that didn't work...I'm afraid to delete any folders manually and all my work disappear.

    What should I delete before reinstalling?

    Instead of deleting anything, what I did was to rename the garmin basecamp program file FOLDER to what it was called before with an x on the end of the name (C:\Program Files (x86)\Garmin\BaseCampx). That way, the installer program doesn't see it, so nothing gets blown away. Anyhow, it worked for me.
  • never mind...the RV settings show up once you pulg in the RV760
  • Now back to the size launching issue...

    If the RV 760 is attached to the computer before launching BC, the program launches, briefly shrinks and then expands to the size and place where you last closed it.

    I have not been able to reproduce like I said, but perhaps this resizing issue is a Windows 8.1 related thing only. I will have to double check again on Windows 8 when I get home this evening.

    ...Back then, software engineers were actually worth something, because they produced code with real value, quality, and functionality...


    Ahh, a former software engineer? Which planet? Surely not this one! :) [In one of my former lives I was an IBM Customer Engineer and have had to deal with code quality from the golden age.]

    Ok, fun's over. I agree that the code quality, functionality, etc. could stand improving. But, I blame the marketing guys and the business managers. Not enough money to engineering and test and too many siloed products.

    I admit I am not a German speaker, but we have someone here who is. Seems like we are missing a component? Do you have the .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on your machine?
  • Sad to see that settings in the Page Setup dialog are still not persistant in 4.3.1. Is there any chance this will make it some day? I mean, really, how hard can it be?
