I cannot open 17.4 BRD files on a 17.4 install

Hello,

I am using Cadence OrCAD PCB Editor Professional, Hotfix S029.

Since this morning, I can no longer open 17.4 BRDs. When I try opening a design, PCB Editor is "not responding". I have a greyed window that waits for ever.
I can open 17.2 BRD (or 17.4 that has been downreved) without any issue.

I don't see anything I could have done that would justify this behavior. This is a relatively fresh install, I don't use SKILL, cuimenus or anything. I don't even have funckeys or aliases programmed in the env file.

Is it a known problem? Does anyone has an idea of what could have caused that ?

This is usually related to Anti Virus software. Check the quarantine location in AV to see if anything got deleted / blocked such as a dll or exe. If there is put the files back and set up an exception so that AV won;t look at the installation directories.

Hello Steve,

Thank your for the reply, I will check that whenever the problem comes back. Today, I can open 17.4 BRD files without issues... This is weird, but I zill check the quarantined files in my AV next time it happens (if it does).
