DANIAO, would you select the Windows theme that shows Crowbar with the problem and screenshot that window? For example, like the "Fig 3" image on this page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/guides/change_fonts/computer/win/win7/

Would you also screenshot the Message Box font like the "Fig 5" image on the same page, except "Item" in screenshot should be "Message Box"?

Daniao, This is just a thought that might help in the troubleshooting for Zeq. You've got some funny fonts happening there and I'm wondering if it may be it may have something to do with your computer's set up for your native language and the UTF-8 conversions back to English for Crowbar. The buttons are being missed or not set up because of this or something not being written to the ini/cfg/XLM files.

Suggestion to see if it fixes the problem:

Go to your C:\Users\{username}AppData\Roaming\ folder and delete the ZeqMacaw Folder

then try to run Crowbar again.

If that doesn't fix things, delete that folder again and delete the current install of crowbar, reboot the computer then download a new copy of Crowbar and run that

The problem is likely caused by using a Windows language that uses pictograms (such as Chinese) or using a Windows theme that somehow conflicts with Crowbar. In every case like this, the font for the tabs in Crowbar is different than the rest of Crowbar. Try setting the Windows theme to default.

I have seen this several times before, but I have not had enough feedback or troubleshooting help to solve the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I am actually using the defult Windows theme,and i tried to delete the folder,there problem still there,seems i'd to use old version,0.42 version works for me

Interesting. I'll see what the differences between 0.42 and 0.56 are.
i've tested 0.29-0.56 versions,0.44 and belows versions work fine,so i guess the problem is related to UNPACK function.

Cool; thanks for letting me know.

What language are you using for Windows?
Simplified Chinese
