Problem with Citect Scada pls help

[cmpunk31]

Hi I am rather new to the Citect software and i have met with several problems. i am using the v5.50 as it is the same as my school. however mine is on win 7 so there are several errors. For example, when I choose template or a symbols, nothing comes up and it is all blank so i cant choose anything. I cannot create new symbols also. Any help would be appreciated thanks!!

I'm pretty sure win 7 wasn't supported in citect until ver 7.2. You will have to run ver 5.5 on a vitual machine if using win 7.

Thanks for the reply. However, I have tried using the newer version and was told by by teacher not to...

If the school only has ver 5.5 and you will have to work on ver 5.5 also. projects are not backward compatable. You cannot create a project on ver 7.2 and run this on a ver 5.5 system. Download vmplayer or similar and install winxp then install ver 5.5 .
