Help! Has anyone had any issues with 10.2 right after installation? I have installed ArcGIS multiple times across the years, but I've never run into the errors this is giving me. It is acting like some poorly debugged software out of somebody's dorm room instead of a smooth user interface that I actually paid money for!
Issues thus far:
ArcMap:
1) Try to open a menu- it automatically selects the first option on the menu list. Try to click on a menu- it refuses to open.
2) Can only look at menus if you open the help menu & then move your mouse across top of screen- the menus appear far away from where they are suppose to
3) the Table of Contents is huge! When the program initially opens, the font is normal, but the moment you choose a temlate, the whole thing blows up & is very difficult to read or navigate
4) You cannot project a shapefile! Lots of errors when that tool is run, or it just sits & spins until the whole program crashes.
5)It crashes. Continually.
ArcCatalog:
1) I cannot import a shapefile into a File Geodatabase! This is driving me nuts, I have lots of shapefiles that I need to convert projections on. I will try to import a shapefile, and after I click "ok" on the tool- the screen goes back to the normal view and does nothing! I open it a day later, I might see half of the things I imported.
2) The program crashes.
3) I try & look at metadata- it takes 5 minutes to display & then it displays at a font closer to 70 pts.
I have installed this software dozens of times and had it open up and work beautifully. I know that the home edition is cheaper, but I expect that it actually work to the extent that the $1500 version does.
Sorry for the frustration, but this is making a project I am working on very difficult.
