There is no requirement to buy in order to evaluate. The download for the free version 3 beta is available in the first posting in the Scrivener for Windows / Beta Testing (Windows) subforum: Scrivener 3.0 Beta - Release Candidate 11 (Download Links & Change List) https://www.literatureandlatte....

I'm a bit rusty, but you might give this a try... Get Scrivener started via your workaround, then... Tools > Options > General and in Startup Options, make sure "Reopen projects that were open on quit" is unchecked, click OK or Apply, exit Scrivener, launch Scrivener again and see if you g...

Thanks GR. I'll study that.

Thanks KB. I appreciate your consideration.

No. Though what you describe seems useful, of interest, and robustly generalized. And likely more worth pursuing and more practical to implement. What I'm trying to describe... putting aside Scrivener specifics for the moment and approaching generically.... Multiple hierarchical outlines, Example: P...

DISCLAIMER: I'm posting this suggestion so as to get it out of my system. I recognize that it is likely too costly, complicated, overkill, and outside of or at odds with Scrivener's direction. But I'll rest easier, having posted it. I hope it is intelligible. Beware, this way lies madness.... SUGGES...

UPDATED - The following was happening with a version of a project used by previous 2.9 betas. Turns out that it does not happen with the Scrivener interactive tutorial project or with a freshly converted version of the source 1.9.9.0 project.

Until you get that info, you can just download and use the free full evaluation version. It is good for 30 days of use (doesn't have to be consecutive days) and uses/creates standard Scrivener projects.

The specific file at that location is wordlists.ini It is a plain text file and can be viewed or edited with Notepad. For safety sake, only do so when Scrivener is not running. Better yet, be sure to make a safety copy of it. For additional discussion, do a search of these forums for "wordlists...

I experimented a bit with Windows Defender settings and confirm that it (default settings) does result in some slowdown, perhaps doubling launch/load times. But those times are still in seconds and I wouldn't call them "terrible". Given that I only launch/load once or very few times per da...

Also try doing a Google search on "error 2 Dropbox install" and reviewing the various results,

Hope that is of some assistance.

Assuming the laptop is configured as it came from the factory (i.e. the C; drive is the one that originally came in the PC from HP), I would suggest you locate and use HP system diagnostics to give both the drive and the entire PC a thorough checkup. Such a systems diagnostics utility may already be...
