I downloaded a trial of beersmith onto my windows laptop using windows home 7.
It opens ok but crashes when I try to change the weight of grain chosen in a new recipe.
I am trialing this software so I don't know if it would crash under any other circumstances. It seems to accept my preferences for equipment and such.

Chris,
I've only had one or two cases reported (out of a large user base) of this type of problem. Usually this indicates one of the files in your installation is corrupt.
The best fix overall is to export your recipes from your existing copy and then install a fresh copy of BeerSmith to another directory (so you don't overwrite any of the old data) and import your recipes back into the new copy.

thanks brad-
I don't have any recipes in the program yet and my preferences will be easy to restore from scratch. I did an uninstall, and am running a full scan to make sure there is nothing buggy with my laptop before I attempt to reinstall. I have a couple macs but this laptop is the only windows machine i have and it's very basic... I use it only when I travel. Wish you wrote a mac version of this program as it looks like the best program for me

Chris,
It might be better to install to a different directory if you have any problems. By default the uninstaller does not delete data.
