Object Viewer doesn't work

For some reason the object viewer no longer works. I press the Icon and nothing happens, except most of the time a message that the file has been saved. Is there a toggle somewhere that I accidentally pressed?

You can delete the Object Viewer's GUI file: C:\DataCAD 21\Support Files\ObjectViewer.GUI and try again.

Thanks... I deleted the file, but still nothing. Display model in sun shader works but not in Object Viewer... Is there a way to save an O2C without being able to use Object Viewer?

The other day I downloader a o2c viewer from the internet. Could that be the problem?

Perhaps. You can try a repair install. Add or remove programs, DataCAD 21, Modify.

I repaired the drawing file, but that didn't help.
How do you repair install?

I tried going to Uninstall but got a message saying that I did not have sufficient access to uninstall Datacad21... I am the administrator, so I have no idea what to do now.

I did not turn off the anti virus program - I have now been able to remove and reinstall datacad 21
