I just updated to 2.1 and wanted to load some files but they seem to be gone. Any folder I try to open comes up with ‘no items match your search’. Would anyone have a solution to this problem? I’m really puzzled by this. Thanks in advance

Update … I did a total computer reset, re-installed Lightburn 2.102 and to my great relief the laser works like it did before. I’ve no idea what went wrong; in the end I had no choice but to do the reset. Thanks to all who tried to help, cheers Ina Bee

Thank you for your response. I tried your suggestion but it wouldn’t work for me so I uninstalled 2.1 and re installed the previous version.

A message came up that I needed to run another file in order to run LB. Sorry, I don’t remember the name but looking back, it might have been a bug? I uninstalle…

Well, all I have left is a mess. laser won’t frame and if I want to cut out a shape I have to move the laser head by hand over the material. I’ve never had a problem with lb since I signed up a few years ago but right now it has become a nightmere. I simply don’t know what to do. Do I uninstall the …

You already tried that sorry. Try importing the laser device .lbdev file and test. Also do a search in the computer for .lbrn files to find where they are. [image] Just so that you know always where your files are I´ll let here a tip from LAhobbyGuy: [___Lightburn_Folder_Organization__LAHobby…

I uninstalled and reloaded LB, I hadn’t uninstalled the laser but will try that in the morning

My attempt to connect computer and laser is not happening. As for downloading the file, it tells me it’s not available. maybe because I’m in Australia?? After 5 hours yesterday and 2 hours today, I’m giving it a spell for a while and get back to it later

Just updated to 2.1
