Hi 

I am using ORCAD for PSPICE simulation. It works fine, but all of a sudden, this error happened:    "ERROR(15053): Can not initialize PSpice UI" 

I tried some method in this thread, but did not solve this problem.

(1) I renamed the %HOME%/cdssetup folder, then both Capture CIS and Pspice AD can not open, with a pop dialog "This application qiut...."

(2)I tried invok PSPICE from cmd window, after three pop window, the PSPICE AD enter into the correct window, but when I chose a simulation program, it quit again....as following picture

(3)copied both cdssetup folder and pspice.ini from my colleague, no help.

I am worried and I do not want to re-install the whole software.. Could you please help diagnose the problem? Thanks very much!!

    Found reason. We used Capture CIS, and "cdssetup" folder is located in somewhere else,E:\CadenceLib\SPB_Data\cdssetup, rather than %HOME%/cdssetup.
    I copied the original cdssetup folder from my colleague. and problem solved.
