Allegro Free Physical PCB viewer 16.5 problem

Hi,

I installed Allegro Free Physical viewer ver 16.5, but i can't see the menu bar on the top of the program.

All previous versions are work (16.2, 15.2).

What can be the problem?

I tried to reinstall several times, but it doesn;t help. It work on the other PC so the problem is with the PC but i don't know what.

Thanks

Leonid

    If the free viewer command area type: set

    With  the resulting window look for the lines with:

       menuload - which should a value of allegro_free_viewer

       menupath - in an "out of the box" environment it should have 3 entries:

                        . <cdsroot>/local/pcb/menus  <cdsroot>/share/pcb/text/cuimenus

    In a Windows file explorer navigate to the last entry shown in menupath. If you don't see the following file names then you have a problem with with installation hierarchy you have OS level environment variables that is toasting your viewer. Files are:

          allegro_free_viewer.men

          allegro.r2c
