The version I'm using doesn't have skewb, can someone link me? I'm using Windows 7 btw.

Add a new category, name it "skewb" and then under scramble type select skewb. Not sure why there isn't a default category for this but its in there if you create it. Not sure what kind of scrambles are generated but it works

Okay so I've downloaded and verified that I have the latest version of Java, but no matter what I try I can't access the timer. I double click it and the file opens in winrar, and when I choose "Open with" and select Java, the prompt "Datavase error: IO Exception: "java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Windows\System32\puzzletimer.lock.db (Access is Denied)";"C:\Windows\System32\puzzletimer.lock.db"[90031-137]" Comes up.

I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

I'm not the author, but...

Are you downloading it and saving it to the System32 folder? If so- don't. Put it on your desktop to start with.

If not-

if you go to that folder in the error (C:\Windows\System32\), is there a file called puzzletimer.lock.db?

Yeah, sounds like you're jar file is in the System32 folder. Move it to somewhere like your documents or desktop.

Sorry if this has been asked already, but is there a possible patch in the future that will let us connect the Gen3 Stackmats to Prisma Puzzle Timer?

I downloaded it straight to the desktop to start with and still got the error, and there was no file with that name in system32. :(

EDIT: This was fixed by putting the .jar into the recycling bin, then restoring it. No idea why, though.
