Error: Nothing Selected

Post by qingri212 »

I am using DSS on win7 system. Every time I move or change an object in Vensim, no matter it is a variable or box, there is a box like the pic attached. What can I do? It drives me crazy cos I have the box popping out hundreds of time each day now!

Your profile mentions that you use PLE.

Are you trying to move something that is on a template view? Make sure "View->Use Template" is unticked and see if the problem goes away.

Can you upload your model and give us instructions on exactly what you are doing?

And if you are using DSS, can you please put your serial number in your profile.

It does not matter which model I am building. Every model will have the problem.

I have no trouble moving the level around.

Can you explain step by step what you do so I can try the same steps here?

What other software do you have installed that might be monitoring the mouse/windows?

I just use the software as usual. Maybe it is the win7 system. When I used it on winXP, everything was fine. The error won't happen when I creat or change blocks. Only when I move them. I intalled avast! home edition anti-virus software. No special software is monitoring the mouse.
