Butsincea few days ago,suddenlyI can not see the OS of my multiproject or anyOSfrom the Simatic Manager (Error 3). However, I can open the OSusing Windows Explorer (Error 4). I tried to create a new simple HMI project in Simatic Manager but the system does not allow me to insert an HMI Application in my PC Station.(Error 1.jpg and Error 2.jpg) I retrievedmy multiproject in another station and it worked okay. So, I clean my station and installed STEP7 and WINCC again but no success, I am still having the same problem. I have seen similar threads in the forum but no answers to solvethis problem. Could you give me an idea to solve this problem? I have attached some screenshots to illustrate what is happening with my station. Attachment error 1.zip (168 Downloads)

Anyway, I will try to unistall only the AS-OS Engineering and install it again to see if there is any difference. Thanks.... What about the experts? As I mentioned before therehas not been answers from them to the previous similar problems.

Phantom75 Posts: 2661 Rating: (279)	Hi CesarL, There can be many reasons for this kind of behavior. For example in the following thread one of the users claims that the problem was due to SQL installation: PCS7 OS project cannot be created or is not displayed. In my personal experience I noticed this problem when I tried to open a PCS7 V6.1 project in PCS7 V7.0 without migrating the WinCC. Hence, it's very difficult to provide an accurate diagnosis for your particularproblem, especially remotely... Regards

I am not using PCS7 only STEP7 5.4 and WINCC 7.0 integrated in Simatic Manager. As I mentioned before my station was working perfectly for almost 3 months. So, I guess the installation was OKAY (SQL,WINCC,STEP7). Now, I dont know what has happened. Iam trying to check if there is something corrupted in myPC. Thanks,

Anyway, I think it was related with the database (SQL) because nothing happened when I reinstalled STEP7 and WINCC. Suggestion: Have a image of your system as soon as you have everything working properly to avoid loosing time in this kind of situations. Regards,
