Explanation

How to Avoid
Option 1:
1) Log in as an Administrator.
2) Click on Windows Start button and then click on Run (on Windows XP) or click on Start button and go to the Search field (on Windows 7).
3) Type in "Regedit".
4) Click on "OK".
5) Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > StaadPro > 2007 > Language.
6) Click on "Language" so that the key is highlighted in blue.
7) On the right window pane there should be a string value called "CurrentLanguage".
8) Is the data set to "USEnglish"? If not, double click on that string value to change the value data to "USEnglish". Please note that the value data is case sensitive.
Option 2:
If that string is missing, uninstall STAAD.Pro and then install it by running as administrator. Please note that even if you are logged in as administrator, the installer of STAAD.Pro still has to be run as administrator (right click on the installation file and select option 'Run As Administrator') on Windows 7/8 operating systems.
