Hi Professor,

I have followed your step-by-step guide to re-install OASYS, but I still have the same issue with .ows files.

I cannot open all the .ows example files. However, I found that if I create a new .ows file and save it, I can open it again. What could be the issue?

By the way, I am using Windows 11.

Thanks,
April

Dear April (blowing little bubbles?),

Your previous installation was fine, but I wanted to be sure so I had you repeat it step by step.

There is an error message when an ows file doesn't open (the should be a button "show error"), it would be good to see it, otherwise is impossibile to understand what is going on.
From the limited information you are giving me, it looks like the files of the school that you are trying to open (which ones are you trying to open? first school? second school?) became obsolete and they could have issues with the last version of the apps in OASYS. New files, of course, have no issues. I don't see any problem related to OASYS itself, that is a very robust application, used by hundreds of users, since more than 10 years.

Dear Professor,

When I opened an example ows file, there was no error message, nothing happened. I used the "Open" button on the welcome page.

I noticed that I was able to create a new ows file, save it, and open it. I have attached the two ows files. Could you help me take a look? Is there any difference between these two files?

"Test.ows", new ows file that I created: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BIDOap6Wb3fqXLy0-uAIQGA2rZo2fdwL/view?usp=sharing

"ex20_sleeperrors.ows", a recent example file from ShadowOui tutorial, updated last year: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EJw01KAeQES2rPqOl-UBYV5guK4e_VNM/view?usp=sharing

Yes, your interpretation of my username is correct. What a pleasant surprise that you found out the secret of my username. :D

Thanks,
April
