    <p>Prasanth,<br>
    </p>
    <p>I have seen this behavior a few other times but do not have a
      solution that has worked in all cases.<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>First, please make sure that TRNSYS is not installed in either
      the \Program Files\ or \Program Files (x86) directories. These
      directories have very strict read/write permission issues that can
      cause all kinds of problems with TRNSYS because TRNSYS has to
      create output files.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Sometimes the problem with the Type14 plugin has to do with a
      particular project (*.tpf file) and does not occur if you drag a
      Type14 component into another project. Sometimes the problem has
      to do with screen resolution. If you have a very high resolution
      screen, try turning the resolution down a bit. Other times, there
      seems to be an incompatibility between the plugin and Windows on
      particular computers. If you have access to another computer, you
      might try to launch the plugin there.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>If none of the above suggestions make a difference then the
      workaround is to simply enter the parameter values directly into
      the proforma instead of using the plugin. For complex schedules,
      it may be preferable to use either one of the Types in the TESS
      Applications library or to put the schedule in an external file
      and use Type9 to read it.</p>
    <p>kind regards,</p>
    <p> David</p>
