Cannot open HMI project on winCC flexible

Hello, i have a simatic manager step 7 (v 5.5) and winCC flexible (2008 sp3).

Earlier when i try to open winCC project through simatic manager . It use to show the loading screen (SIMATIC WinCC flexible ES wird gestartet) along with a dialog box (no default file found)..

When i press ok, it opens the HMI project normally. Otherwise the screen gets stuck on screen(SIMATIC WinCC flexible ES wird gestartet). You have to press ok on ( no default file found) screen to open the HMI project ... i had no issue with this.

For the past few days the screen gets stuck on screen (SIMATIC WinCC flexible ES wird gestartet).... and it never opens the HMI project. Even the ( no default file found) message doesnt comes up.

If i open SIMATIC WinCC flexible,  it doesnt show any thing, no task bar no nothing .. only grey screen..

I have attached the screenshot..

I cannot open my HMI project, what do you think the problem is.. i will be waiting for your reply.

Thanks in advace :)

 Hi SHAAWAIZ,

Have u checked system requirement before installing

System requirements
(minimum requirements)

WinCC flexible Engineering Software

Operating system :- Windows 7 Professional SP1, Ultimate/Enterprise SP1 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows 10 Professional, Enterprise, LTSB Enterprise (64-bit)

Processor :- Pentium 4 (or comparable) processor running at 1.6 GHz or faster

Resolution :- 1024 x 768 or higher

Main memory (RAM) :-  ≥ 1 GB,
≥ 512 MB for WinCC flexible Micro

Hard disk (free memory space)

≥ 2 GB
≥ 1.2 GB for WinCC flexible Micro

DVD drive

For software installation

1) In addition to WinCC flexible, Windows also requires free hard drive space; e.g. space should be reserved for the page file. The following formula has proven itself in the past: The size of the swap file = 3 x the size of available RAM. For further information, refer to your Windows documentation

2) When installing one language. An additional 200 MB are required for each further language. In the case of different partitions for system and configuration: System partition approx. 700 MB, project partition approx. 1.3 GB.

3) When installing one language. An additional 80 MB are required for each further language. In the case of different partitions for system and configuration: System partition approx. 600 MB, project partition approx. 600 MB

Hello, 

System requirements are fine.. as the software was running on the device for many years. 

The problem came only recently.  

Ram 8GB, 

Windows 7 SP1

INTEL core i7, 2.7 HZ

 Issue Fixed:

1) reset conputer

2) in the taskbar, right click "Simatic WinCC flexible  StartCenter"

3) click "Reset SIMATIC WinCC flexible "

Hello,

Perhaps you can try to reset:

How can you reset WinCC flexible to the original status of the last installation?

Best regards,

Wizard
