Question: Typesetting:-mparsed(...) error on latest 2018.2.1 version

Hi

I've just upgraded from v2017.3 to 2018. It worked OK until I installed latest service pack 2018.2.1 (server license provided by my University). Ever since I cannot use Maple. Anything I type I get Typesetting:-mparsed(...) error and the text/command I typed.

I’ve contacted our software tech support and they told me to change the typesetting level from advanced to standard and it did fix the problem.

But why does it happen in the first place? I’m running Windows 8.1 64bit. Out tech support told me to has something to do with 3D display issue on my machine and told me to bring my laptop on Monday to see if they can resolve the issue.

Anyone else have this problem? Why didn’t it happen with older Maple versions? What am I missing by using standard typesetting instead of the default advanced?

Thanks
