I have an old version of ArcGIS (9.3). The machine it was on died an absolute death. It does not start up at all. Therefore, I cannot access Desktop Administrator to deauthorize it. The only instructions on line are to access Desktop Administrator and do it. But the online instructions refer to selections in Desktop Administrator that do not exist for 9.3.

Thanks for your quick reply. The instructions to reset the application profile look forbidding. This never happened in 10.4. If I reinstall 10.4, will I lose my models?

‎10-14-2017

Nope. I tried both and neither worked. How do I reset my application profile? Why would this happen so randomly?

I am working along and then all of a sudden the toolbox disappears. When I click on the icon, nothing happens. Then I discovered that I could get the toolbox by clicking on the catalog button. But now that has disappeared also. Where did they go, and how can I get them back? Once this happened, they are gone for any other session that I open.

Thanks. I am not sure how to close the thread. I don’t see a place to do it on the site.

Thanks for your help. I don’t think I will become proficient in Python any time soon, but eventually I had to learn Avenue, so this may be no different…..until ESRI decides to make another big change to its programming language. I took a college course on VB and got an “A” but never figured out how to use it with ArcGIS. That training has long been forgotten. I like to keep things simple so I can pass my models on to other users, but knowing the way to use the old tools from ArcView is very helpful to me.

Thank you very much. I finally figured out how to do it. It was so simple, with a bit of help from outside sources. I just needed to select the python option in calculate, which automatically surrounded the field in !!, and then followed the syntax that I learned. This was a big frustration for me, so this was a big advancement in my knowledge. I am a very intense, but basic user, and I have resisted the need to learn Python. GIS used to be more simple. I guess I am a dinosaur… my experience goes all the way back to PC ArcInfo and writing SML’s. I might add, I was looking for a simple example like: BLOCKID = !BLOCKID!.replace("17113","99999"). Again, thank you for steering me in the right direction.

Where can I find the syntax, and "how to" instructions? There is nothing in the help files. I am frustrated because it was so easy to use in ArcView.

oops, I mean 10.51

I used to use all sorts of neat tools when calculating, such as trim, extract, left right, substitute, etc. What happened to these? I want to use them in ArcGIS 19.51.

I forgot to say, it also corrected the overly sensitive drop downs for the top row of selections. ???? But it worked. Thanks again.

Thanks. I changed the display to medium. For some reason it was on large. Dr. Linda Tomaselli, GISRDC 341 Jamaica Way Niceville, FL 32578 (850) 687-6459 or (850) 897-2012 <mailto:Ltomaselli@GISRDC.com> Ltomaselli@GISRDC.com or <mailto:Ltomaselli@Earthlink.net> Ltomaselli@Earthlink.net

I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5 and find the text sizes all over the place, especially in the table of contents. I did not uninstall 10.4 before installing 10.5. Could that be the reason? The top toolbar also has very large text compared to the old 10.4. This is very disconcerting.
