Got a problem - when I chose to edit a style or create new style, I do not have the check boxes to select what field I want to include. They were there last week, but gone today.

I re-installed the program, still missing.
I do know an update for XP came through this week....maybe something there did it?

This happened a long time ago, but I can't remember how I fixed it.

Tom, I don't know the answer sorry someone will come along with that I'm sure.What amazes me is you said you got an update to Windows XP this week.. I thought they were finished doing that more than a year ago. :confused:

A new display Style for the pp's?
The default is Style A...i think all you have to do is name and save your Style (after checking boxes and altering to your needs) and you should be good.

They still have an update every month or two for the windows defender definitions or whatever MS in-house anti-malware application was called. To your point though, you're right actual patches for XP are long over with now.

As for the issue, I'm not sure what the root cause is but if system restore is enabled, that's one way to roll back to when it was working. This is why the best thing to do with XP these days is run it in a VM and save regular backups of the entire VM. If something doesn't work it's as easy to restore as a file copy.

That's the problem, they boxes are there, but you can't check them, on any style, even if I create a new one. I just made a new one last week, no problems.

*BUMP*

Problem just came back!
LAst night, I was editing styles, no problem.
Today, no check boxes are showing so I can't change anything.

Anyone else ever have this problem?
Last time it came back open its own, but I never found out why.

Wonder if re-installing the program will fix it and not erase the style I have set up.

I reinstalled the program and the same problem is in the new one (exact same version).

Maybe something in my computer is causing it?

Has anyone figured out how to print double-sided with the Bris PP Generator?The program seems to over-ride my printer settings.

Tom
01-30-2020, 11:49 AM
Instead of printing to your printer, print to a PDF file.
I use Primo to "print" it to PDf, then print the PDF using all my printer options. Also lets me use Foxit to annotate the PPs.

One possible root cause might be the info is missing from the data.

If you post date-track-race-horsename for some of the running lines where you are seeing this I'll take a look at what I have for the same running lines.

Thanks Jeff. The file is from Tampa - February 9, 2022. Race #1 (1) U NO i b lion. Notice under the second call there is no beaten lengths after running position PP# 1. I'm thinking its a fraction, maybe a 1/2, just guessing. Doesn't happen all the time.

If your using anything other than Windows XP, 1/2 will not show on any of the pp's.

I still use it on my Windows 8 computer, so I don't know if it is compatible with Windows whatever number they are up to. Custom PP Generator is the only thing I do with that computer. It doesn't even go online to download the data, I download data on an Android tablet and transfer via Bluetooth.

Copy a different font file (TTF) to your desktop-remember “copy”it.

Then rename it “PP2b.TTF” and copy it back into your fonts folder or install it (right click on the file and choose install)

If PP2b.TTF is the file used by the app, make sure you copy something similar or close.

Then try your install

Just a stab in the dark…….make sure you back everything up first

When copying into the fonts directory, Windows 11 knows by the contents of the file what the font is. For instance, copying pp2a.ttf to pp2b.ttf, Windows tries to copy it to pp2a.ttf, which already exists.

So, I guess I'll have to see if I can get the file from another computer.

The main reason I’m going back to this program is that I can’t find a suitable subscription offering from pp providers (DRF, TimeFormUS, Stats Race Lens).
Their monthly & quarterly plans don’t offer enough cards and I don’t want to pay the massive price for unlimited. All of those pp’s allow you to do almost everything that PP Generator does, with regard to inserting your own figs, notes etc

Getting back to the creen size comments, here's what I d.
Open a race, scratch, set style, filters, then use the <print> function and save the race as a PDF file.
Now I open it with FOXIT and adjust size howrever I need and I can annotate the PPS as I need to.

It says something to the tune of: you are trying to use an app that Microsoft doesn't support or certify or recognize and then offers to transfer me to the app store.

I emailed BRIS a couple of times and we cannot get it to load/open properly.
My computer also tells me I don't have permission to save the program to my C Drive, and wants to send it to Folder 15042.

The whole thing is a mess.
Whatever - it's too much of a pain in the ass. I'm not in the mood to spend an hour or two on the phone with them to try to fix it either.

I've tried that.
I cannot open the program no matter what I try, and no matter what the BRIS tech guy tells me to try.
I can't save it to the C Drive either.

Done

It says something to the tune of: you are trying to use an app that Microsoft doesn't support or certify or recognize and then offers to transfer me to the app store.

I emailed BRIS a couple of times and we cannot get it to load/open properly.
My computer also tells me I don't have permission to save the program to my C Drive, and wants to send it to Folder 15042.

For the first part when you get the “The app you’re trying to install isn’t a Microsoft-verified app” message, there should be an Install Anyway button. If not then you have to change where to get the apps from.

In Windows 11 go to
Settings
Apps
Advanced App Settings

Choose where to get apps. At the end of the line, there's a drop down menu with 4 settings. Your probably have the bottom one "Microsoft Store Only", The top selection "Anywhere" should work". The other two give you a warning before allowing the install.

In Windows 10 or older this may be under Apps and Features.

For the 2nd probably here's a google search link with some solutions and videos:

I appreciate your help, but under the Advanced App Settings there is no 'Choose Where To Get Apps' tab anywhere. All it has is:

Share Across Devices
App Execution Aliases
Archive Apps

I accessed the Help feature on my computer and it told me to find that same 'Choose Where To get Apps' tab also.
I don't know where it is.

Thanks for your help KyRacer

What version of Windows are you using? Also you might try putting it on a usb drive and installing it from there or installing it on the usb drive.

Here's another link if it's not windows 11

It should be right above Share Across Devices. If you're not seeing it and with the other problems of not being able to install the program it seems like you may not have administrative privileges. Just a guess.

This appears to be about the Microsoft Store. What version of Windows 11 do you have (Home, Pro, Enterprise, or S Mode). Here's some info from a guy named Dave helping someone else. If you have S Mode then that might be the problem. Did you do a fresh install of Windows 11 or update Windows 10 to Windows 11?
--------------------
Dave:
Open the Settings App, then go to System - About, what edition (Home, Pro, Enterprise, or S Mode) of Windows is installed on you PC?

Girls reply: Thanks! It's a Windows 11 Home in S mode

Dave:
Thank you for that information, that is the problem, you have Windows in S Mode, so you are limited to installing Store apps.

You can switch from S Mode to Windows 11 Home, it is free to do so and it is a one-time operation, it cannot be undone.

Open the Settings app, go to the Activation page and click 'Go to the Store' to switch to full Windows 11 Home.

-------------------

I'm running Windows 11 Pro so I don't see the "Go to the Store" switch". The S-Mode is for safety and only allows you to install from the Microsoft Store. There's another way to reset the Microsoft Store if it's not a S Mode problem. More on that later.

Yes, the problem is that I haven't switched out of S Mode, which I don't think I want to do.

I read about the cons of switching out (it's a one time permanent move, there's no going back to S Mode) and I'm not sure I want to do that.

Thanks again for all your help. I appreciate it

I had heard of S-Mode but didn't know much about it. While you can't go back to S-Mode, you can still select "The Microsoft Store Only" mode from the apps menu. I believe you can switch to the Anywhere mode to install special programs like the Custom Generator and then switch back to "The Microsoft Store Only" for more safety.

The S-Mode seems pretty limiting. From what I read you're limited to Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Defender. Found a link below about the Pro's and Con's of S-mode.

I run the Generator in WMware's virtual windows mode with Win XP 32 running. It runs the Generator perfect and has the 1/2 lengths in the pp's. I print to a PDF file which I can open in either Win 11 or Win XP and both show the 1/2 lengths. I also have the Generator installed on Win 11 but it doesn't show the 1/2 lengths on screen or in print.

I downloaded this program as I am a tourney player in hopes that I could use this to create my own pp's for tournaments. However, when I tried to download the pdf file to the generator would not allow for it. I asked Bris customer service about this and they said that it can not be done. I thought why would a company make a product that is sold in droves to the public and software handicappers and tournament sites etc. then you are not allowed to take the free pp and insert into a program that you created. ??? Am I missing something or can the free pp's from Horsetourney. com be converted to another type of file that the PP Generator can use? Just curious. Big believer in knowing the horses fractions as opposed to calculating beaten lengths by calculator without having the knowledge to be able to insert a bris file into my own spreadsheet so I can fractional handicapp and do my intervals without the tediousness and the time consumption..

A PDF file includes a lot of formatting information to place the data in specific places and in specific styles and may not include all of the data found in the data files. A CSV file, such as the BRIS data files, is strictly data. I don't find it at all surprising that the PP Generator does not support PDF files. An ability to import the PDF is far more complex than it might seem to a non-programmer. It is not simply a ploy to keep you from using a free file.
