Troubles setting up new installation of Sim4Life

[PeterStijnman]

So today I switched to a windows 10 PC at work and wanted to install Sim4Life (tried V3.4 first). It works, however, there were some strange things occuring:

• It starts up in the light theme and for some reason I cannot seem to find the option to switch it in the UI.

• Further if i change something in the File ->Preferences tab it is unable to save the changes.

• And finally when I open a project file (.smash) it creates (next to the regular backups) a "Material" and "Scripts" folder where the project is located. Which I can't recall it doing previously.

So I tried to uninstall and try V3.4 again. Same thing happened. Afterwards, I tried V4.2 and again the same thing.
Does anyone know a solution to the above problems?

Thanks in advance!

I have seen that happening before but I am not sure what was the reason. If I were you I would first try to update the graphics card driver, since this "light theme" sounds like some components of the GUI are not loading properly.

As far as I can tell everything is up to date.
Attached is how the UI loads up right now.

I installed and reinstalled Sim4Life trial and installed iSEG_v3.10.25.60 but Database does not mount materials to models. I manually installed the database in the Material folder, but the problems remained.
The user name is written in ASCII format.
Second problem: Dicom series is not imported into iSEG. When I try import Dicom file in iSEG the program closes.
Can you help me?

 Best regards

@Frodi, have you checked this post: https://forum.zmt.swiss/topic/97/problens-with-sim4life-demo ? There is a known issue concerning the material database when the operating system makes use of non-ASCII characters in the path to the database (it also happens when the user name contains non-ASCII characters).

Okay, a short update on this issue:
I did absolutely nothing and it is fixed for me some how...
There might have been a windows update that fixed the problem, not sure about that though.
Curious if others have seen similar result.
