Why am I unable to set drawing boundaries, create multiple sheets, and set layers to non-printing?

I am growing extremely frustrated with DraftSight.  I have been trying to perform some rather basic operations with DraftSight and it will not allow me to do them.

  1. When I try to set the drawing boundaries, the values I enter revert right back to the default when I click 'Apply'.
  2. When I set up multiple drawing tabs and save my drawing, the tabs are not saved.
  3. I can set a layer to non-printing, but as soon as I save and exit the drawing, it reverts back to its previous setting.

I have also noticed that it likes to shut down for no apparent reason.

I was upgraded, this morning, to DraftSight 2015 SP3 because we suspected that the problem was with the version I was running before. It has made absolutely no difference.

Any ideas?

It's a good thing I'm going to have access to eggnog and rum over the next several days...
