When I try to save the drawing, or save as the program closes.
Re: save and save as
Please try to toggle the file dialog under:
Edit > Application Preferences > File > Open/Save > Use system file dialog ...
... and try to save a drawing.

Re: save and save as
That box was already checked. I tried unchecking it and applying the change save would not work, rechecked and applied that change and it still closes program when trying to save.

Re: save and save as
windows 10 home 64 bit, Qcad is 3.26.4 just installed last week. No error message when dialog box to save pops up, it hesitates a few seconds then closes program.
Re: save and save as
Does this happen when trying to save a new, empty drawing or with a particular drawing?
Re: save and save as
It is the first drawing I did, and it auto saves it so I can reopen it when i reopen Qcad but it will not let me name it when I try to save, it just closes program. It is not empty.
Re: save and save as
Does it also happen when trying to save an empty drawing?
Can you attach your drawing please?

Re: save and save as
When program opened I did not ask it to open autosave file then tried to save empty drawing and it closed program. The only drawing I had was the autosaved one and now it is gone.
Re: save and save as
There appears to be something wrong likely with the file dialog on your system in combination with Qt (the toolkit QCAD uses).
Do you have a chance to run QCAD on a different computer? If not, I'm happy to issue a refund as QCAD does not seem to work on your Windows setup.

Re: save and save as
I have to go out of town for a few days, when I get back I will get an IT friend of mine to take a look at our chat line and see if he has any ideas before bailing out of the program altogether, thanks for the help.
Re: save and save as
I run QCAD since over 10 years mainly on Windows machines. All the way up from XP to 10 - QCAD was always working like a charm.
Basic rules for a proper installation are:
Use the correct installation packet for your OS,
Never mix different QCAD versions in the same subdirectory,
if the install msi isn't working for some reason use the zip archive,
follow the installation manual below https://qcad.org/en/documentation/insta ... er_Windows
follow the troubleshooting manual to reset QCAD below https://qcad.org/en/tutorial-resetting- ... on#Windows

Re: save and save as
Another thing worth looking into might be your virus protection. I can imagine that an overzealous or badly configured antivirus software might shut down a software like QCAD when it's trying to access the file system or certain directories. This should be configurable in the preferences of your antivirus or other protection software.
Here's a list of software I found that is known to interfere with the Windows file dialog:

Re: save and save as
We tried all that you suggested with no luck. Please refund my fee I have deleted Qcad from my computer and will be using a different software. Thank you for trying to get it functional.
