I'm running LW 7.5 on WinXP Pro and I've added a new user account. I want to do my LW work fron this new account but the menus, etc. in Modeler are now different than how I had them set up before (lots of commands are now not displayed). Is there a settings file that I can move to remedy this? I haven't done any customization of the menus so I am not sure why so few commands are now available when I run Modeler from this new account.

Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

When you installed Lightwave under your original account some of the config files were placed under C:\documents and settings\(original account name). Now that you have created a new account to run Lightwave, the application is looking for those config files under C:\documents and settings\(new account name). The fix is simple. Find the config files under the original account name and then copy them to the same place under C:\documents and settings\(new account name). Shut down Lightwave if it's open and restart it. You may have to manually tell Lightwave to load the configurations that you just copied. I hope this helps. :)
