I'd say goto xlights.org and click on the blue button on the right to get into the zoom area.  See if anyone is around to help.  If not you can join the Official xLights Support Group on Facebook and ask if anyone can jump in there to help.

I have been doing some looking at my computer. I am running openGL 1.4 which is the max.(see screen shot)
Does this mean that I need to upgrade my computer to play happier with xLights?

It should be able to run fine with OpenGL 1.x just go under Settings and make sure OpenGL is set to 1.x.  Then go back and re-read my last 3 posts.  There have been several things I've suggested that you did not let me know if you tried.

Computer is a
Dell Optiplex 755 desktop running windows 7 32 bit
Went to the Zoom Download & downloaded clicked join audio & because I do not have a microphone could not figure out what I was suppose to do. Closed & then went to FB which I DO NOT DO but signed up anyway & was just approved to join. So now we will see what happens.
I still think it is a setting in the program my computer does not like causing the problem. I went all the way back to ver 35 & tested it & still locking up when effects are changed.
For now I have given up on the text till I can figure out if my computer will ever work with xLights. What I have been able to do with xLights is so much easier then LOR not to say way cheaper even with a donation.

Yeah you already told me what computer you had but in the same post where I asked that I gave tips for selecting effects.  I'm not clear whether you've been able to select an effect yet.  Also you didn't say whether other effects are working fine like a simple Butterfly.

Something doesn't sound right with it.  Effects do render whenever you make a change so if you had a really long effect it could show lag after a change.  Most effects render really fast.

something in my computer does not want to play with xLights. Wish I could find someone in my area of Florida to come by & see if they could figure what the problem is.

Did you change the OpenGL setting to 1.x and restart xLights?

You can install the app on your phone as well and use the mic on that, and the software on the PC to show your screen.  You can also dial in on your phone as well.

Ok I don't believe its an OpenGL issue causing all the problems then.  Did you ever work on figuring out if the selection zone was offset?  Like if you click just to the right of the icon does it select the effect?
