Forgotten password.
If the password has been forgotten then there is only one way to fix that and this is in the registration data base.

It can be found in windows under Start → Run → “RegEdit”
“\HKEY_USERS\…\Software\VB and VBA Program settings \Freestyler \Settings”
There is a “Password” label and this can be edited or deleted.

But be carefully not to mess anything up because if the registration database are destroyed then it is a new installation of the whole PC.

- This can happen because the Shutter CH isnt' set correct, so to solve this you have to set the Shutter CH correct with the Fixture Creator.

The Blue Ball don’t move in the movement panel.
When running Shape the Blue ball don’t move. However monitoring the DMX output for Pan and Tilt it can be seen that these values changes with the shape.
The update of the blue balls position was removed because of some error issues.


“Flip” don't bring the beam to the correct position
Flip should flip the fixture but keep the beam at the same point.
If the “Range” value is not defined or wrong then the beam will be moved after a flip.

Disadvantages (Pleas fill in if you know any)

When running with time shorter than 400 the small color display on each fixture don’t change.
This is made so due to graphic handling on slow PCs.
