Hi,

I have Windows 10. I just installed GCA plus the patch plus the latest data file.

However whenever I am working on a character and I click on an edit button or either of the little buttons next to it on any of the screens I get no popup and the application seems to hang. This also applies if I use the Edit button on the quick view screen although on that screen I can at least allocate extra points, presumably because there is no popup. If I click on the application screen I get the little 'ding' sound suggesting that there is a modal screen. It's just not visible. Alt+Tab doesn't help.

There is no obvious error message.

I can't close the app by clicking in the top left corner. I can terminate from the taskbar or task manager and when that happens I 'think' the screen appears very briefly before everything vanishes.

It was installed under Admin priviliges. Run as Admistrator makes no difference. The GCA folder appears under program files (x86). The install.log file appears to be normal. There is also a GCA folder in my Documents folder although the data files folder is empty for this.

Also: reinstalling doesn't help. Not installing the patch doesn't help.

Any thoughts?
