COMPONENT BIN AND INSTRUMENTS NOT AVAILABLE

[DOND-1]

For some reason, (Multisim 2001)  the component bin and instruments are greyed out. I can no longer build circuits.

I can load my existing circuits and run the simulator but I can't load an instrument or add new parts..

Could I  have inadvertently disabled them some how?  I checked all my preference settings and as I see it, they

should be available.

Any idea would be appreciated.

Try going to the Options menu, then select Global Restrictions (or Circuit Restrictions? -try both)... if you see a prompt for a password the default is "testbench" and I guess that your options are all going to be disabled... re-enable them.

If that does not works then go to your installation directory path, and from the Users folder delete your configuration file (make a backup copy first -just in case)... restart Multisim it will recreate that file.

Thank you Nestor, I am back in business.!!

Going to "Global Restrictions" and entering "Testbench" as you said,did the trick..

It presnted me with a dialog box showing a list of tool bars which were all cheked "disabled".

I unclicked all the check marks and now everything.works ok.

Thanks again!!
