Paul Kicad can’t open a NEW project at all Eechatic is freezind on both computers Windows 10 and Windows 7
In my eeschema file is at line 234 canvas_type=1
Change it to 2 as fred4u suggested and tell us what happens.
Another possibility:
Is it possible you installed on both PC’s from a corrupt download?
How did you install KiCad on these machines?
Fred as you can see on my files demonstrated above ia have nos line with
canvas_type= …
I installed Kicad on these machines via internet Kicad web Site
So add the line to your “eeschema” file:
canvas_type=2
if you don’t have it already.
This solutions seems to be the best one dot i eleminate the Eeschema files existing and create a new one
or just add the “canvas_type = 2” in the lines existing in the existing files ?
Just add the line on the top of “eeschema” file
Yaaaaaaaaaa hooooooooooooooooooo my problem have been resolved !!!
Fred where are you from ? I am from Québec i whoul like to send you a special thak by post

Glad you get it working 
Fred where are u from ?
I have a gift to send to you
Europe, so a bit distant from Canada.
If you really feel you want to give back, consider even small donation to the project:
https://funding.communitybridge.org/projects/kicad
We all will benefit from that
Out of curiosity, can you now change canvas (F9, F11, F12) normally?
No pedro Eeschema still freezing when i use F11 , and dnothinf happen when i use F9 , F12
oups dnothinf = nothing
Then the problem is related to opengl. Maybe the drivers of the video card.
