A Scrivener Bug?

1368 Views 12 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  Tristan Cruz
I was still on Friday on my free trail (5 days left) and was already planning to buy this wonderful software when the program wasn't responding at all - just plain windows Not Responding - that was all. I deleted the program, re-installed it again but still nothing. then I downloaded a pirate free trail, an old-dated version 1.63 from the pirate bay and after some hustle it's now running but it converts very odd my book- it centers he text body left though I set justified by default and for the current project. Anyone experienced such a bug? I use Windows.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I forgot to tell that I contacted the support team and they sent me a software to erase my current project but no avail. they said if that doesn't solve that problem, the issue is from application.
***Update*** Thank you everybody, it turned out the problem was in my anti spy-ware software - now Scrivener fictions just like before. Scrivener support team is great.
Good news is that I have another 27 days. the text is justified it was because of the pirated version, I guess.

Why would you download an old version of Scrivener from a pirate site? Why not just contact support at Scrivener instead?
I use Windows, and have never had a problem with Scrivener. There may be an issue with the free trial version, but the full version runs perfectly on my computer.
This is probably a computer related issue. I have multiple seats of scrivener on multiple OSs and no problems.
Also, if you email your file to their support, I am sure they will figure out what is going wrong with it. Most helpful support!
Scrivener's support is one of the best I've ever seen. Contact them and let them know what's going on and they should be able to help you.

There is no difference between the trial and regular version. It's the same software.

Are you sure you have the compile settings correct? And that you are either directing it to use the compiler for formatting or to use editor formatting--whichever you prefer?

I use the compile button for compiling.
I made a small tutorial regarding scrivener not that long ago. Below is the link. It shows starting a project to compiling. Maybe this will help you. I recommend buying this software. It is worth it in my book.

When you say you had problems with it not justifying the text, did you set the justification under the compile section for text body or in the editor? If the latter, did you exempt that file from being reformatted with the compiler?

An Antivirus interfering with a program running, that doesn't surprise me a bit.
