Edit detail for Solve Configuration Problems revision 1 of 4

Many people uninstall and reinstall AbelCam trying to solve configuration problems.

While this might work with software that writes a default configuration in the registry on installation, *reinstallation does not cure AbelCam problems*.

To recover from faulty configuration and/or to reset the configuration you need to remove (or rename) the AbelCam folder.

If you don't know how to find it, click on Configuration Folder in the AbelCam / Web window.

If AbelCam is not starting up anymore, you can also follow this procedure:

- click Start / Run
- the following commands need to be confirmed with the enter key:

  - 'cmd '

  - 'cd %ALLUSERSPROFILE%'

  - 'dir /ahd'<br>&nbsp;

- depending on your language settings, 

  - 'cd "Application Data"'  (" required if the folder name has spaces)

  - 'cd "Seiz System Engineering"'<br>&nbsp;

- now rename the AbelCam folder

  - 'ren AbelCam AbelCam.save'

- now you can start AbelCam, and it will behave as if there was started for the first time - no reinstall required<br>&nbsp;


Similar procedures can be used to back up or deactivate camera configurations within the AbelCam folder. 

The camera configuration folders start with cam... - renaming them to save-cam... or similar will deactivate a camera.
