Do you have tried to delete the dcf files? If it does not work then you can also open a service request at Siemens support, perhaps the project is damaged... Bye Murof

Try to exeute Reset_WinCC.vbs from WinCC/bin directory Do after ready a PC restart and try again. Check also if you donot have special characters in your computername. check also if your windows User is in Simatic HMI goup Bye Murof
