hello, I'm not able to open models or save in this program, errors always appear like: "Failed to create the file" or "Failed to open the file. Make sure you have read access to the folder". What I do?

Hi Maarten,

Just want to thank you! I'm a Flemish person, living in Brazil. I have a language school here. Here the Covid 19 crisis is starting and schools are closed. We give classes online now. I've downloaded simplescreenrecorder to record my classes, so I can share them with students who weren't able to follow the class. Works perfectlyi! Thanks again!

Try going into the properties of the Model Creator executable and run it in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
