    v9.0 help with windows XP?

    Hello Guys, using Mastercam 9.0 with Windows XP. when I go to get a file and load it, I cannot see all the Mastercam 9 files unless I select all files even though they are mc9 files. Other people I know have had this problem with XP. I could see them in Windows 98. Thanks

    It is under the correct directory, some show up but not others until you click on all files. Thanks

    On a similar note, I had someone tell me that all of their files had "disappeared".
    Curious, I went over and had a look at their computer.
    Turned out that someone had set the font color to the same as the background color.
    Hence, the "disappearance" of their files.
