 1. Type the following key-in in Microstation: $ % explorer $(MS_TMP) 
     This will open windows explorer showing the content of your  temp folder.               

 2. Close Microstation but keep the windows explorer window open.   

 3. Delete all files in the temp folder               

 4. Restart Microstation and check if the issue still occurs.

To re-create a new clean user preferences file:

  1. Type in the following key-in: $ % explorer $(_USTN_HOMEPREFS)

       This will open windows explore showing the content of your user preferences folder

   2. Close Microstation but keep the windows explorer window open.

   3. In the explorer windows look for a file with the .upf extension and rename it to a different extension (i.e. userpref.upf -> userpref.bak)

   4. Restart Microstation and check if the issue still occurs.
