Invalid Popup Reference

I started Carlson Survey 2014 up today and not all of the tool bars are loading and the following message is in the command line: Invalid Popup Reference.

I did start the program by double clicking a .dwg file (my own) rather than opening Carlson then opening a drawing.

Anybody know how to fix this?

I'm not sure there is a real fix for it. I've reported issues with double clicking dwg files since Survey 2004 and have always had strange behaviors. Sometimes old versions of Survey would launch instead of the current version, sometimes the splash screen from 2011 would pop up and 2012 would actually load. Other times it would not completely open etc. Best advice is to open up Survey directly and then open the file from within the program. There are lots of cobwebs if you have had previous versions installed.

Heck for that matter I've got Survey 2014 installed on a brand new Win8 computer and it still doesn't give the proper splash screens when directly clicking DWG files!
