hello, new to point blank software but so far i love it! i have a problem, i typed in all my rifle and load data and when i opened point blank again all data was missing. does point blank need to be registered before it saves your data? thanks in advance

There is an issue on some versions of Windows 7 that causes this. Right click the PointBlank.exe and select Properties, then select the Compatability tab, then check the "Run this program as an administrator" box.

Let me know if this solves it for you.

thanks for the fast reply, i tried what you said but it still doesn't save the data. also i noticed when i want to print the ballistics chart on a certain load it will not print the name that i type in for the load name.

What windows version are you running?

Also you can try this, on your desktop, press the "windows" key and "E" key at the same time to open up explorer. Then navigate to the PB folder and open it, then double click either PB patcher or PB exe and then try a sample load off the top of your head, then save it. Now again from the PB folder, double click either of the 2 files mentioned above and see if your sample load was saved.

I've also run into an issue with my neighbor running 32bit win 7 and it would not save his loaded db files. I went back to my house and fired up a install program for windows xp and up and compiled the program and it works great. If it's ok with you I would be happy to send the exe installer file to you so you can test it.
