Problems opening applications

If you have trouble opening an application in FactoryTalk View Studio, the problem could
be a Microsoft Windows security setting. You must have read and write access to the
folder that contains the HMI projects. For example, if you belong to the Windows user
group called Power Users, and the group does not have write access to the HMI projects
folder, you won’t be able to open applications in FactoryTalk View.

The default location for the HMI projects folder is:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\RSView Enterprise\ME
(Windows XP and Windows Server 2003)

When you select an application from the Existing tab, the resolution and version that was last
used to open the application is shown.
