    I have a Mobo Gigabyte. The problem continues, I tried Framework Repair Tool but I do not solve the problem.

    I find it weird since it worked perfectly until yesterday.

    I'll keep seeing if I can fix it, thanks youddy anyway.

    Maybe try this if on Win10,
    Uninstall and reinstall 3.5.Net framework from "Turn Windows features on or off" and check.

    Please follow these steps.
    a. Press Windows + R keys, type appwiz.cpl in run window and press Enter.
    b. Click "Turn Windows features on or off".
    c. Click to uncheck ".NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)" and then click ok. This may take some time to complete.
    d. Now, click to check ".NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)" and then click ok.

    Any Luck?

    Yobuddy, I made all your recommendations but in the end I had to format since I could not fix it. I needed a cleaning.

    I already set everything up again and it works excellent. :thumbs
    Sorry for the delay in responding, I was installing the programs.

    Hi,
    please help me with this same problem,
    after a year or so tried to run the rig, but same problems, nothing was changed on my win 8.1, simtools 2.4 (i guess)
    framework errors, and game manager misses live for speed plugin, which was never installed,
    DEMO mode, though there is a pink patched rectangle
    no game profiles, error messages all over
    what should i do?
    Thanks,

    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    Thanks for the reply,
    i reinstalled 2.4, now it runs but wants live for speed.
    i guess i have to renew the licence.
    is not there any way to restore the licence?
    the directory is there, with two licence files in it.
    i red that there is a limited number of licence renewals.

    There are limited number of reinstalls for SimTools, too many will trigger a specific message saying that, if so contact SinTools direct: https://simtools.us/contact-us/

    You should be using the latest version of SimTools, which is v2.5.1: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/motion-simulation-software-simtools.63/

    Open the reg app and click 'check license' and it will fix any license problems if found.
    Take care,
