I've installed QCAD using this URL "http://www.qcad.org/archives/qcad/qcad-3.12.5-win32-installer.exe". I run program using superuser account on my PC, and I switch off trial addons (CAM, Pro). Then I restart program, but she lose ability to open *.dxf files :( Message "import error" appears.
I try to rename corresponding *.dll files in ..\plugins directory from *.disabled to *.dll, and ability to open *.dxf files return until addon "Pro" expires. Sorry for my English

I cannot reproduce this problem here.
Did you use the buttons in the trial widget with a cross on them to disable the trial plugins or rename some files manually?

Please leave the plugin plugins/qcaddxf.dll active to support DXF import / export through dxflib (this plugin in part of the QCAD Community Edition).

I've used the buttons with a cross. Renaming *dll files by hand I've tryed to check, if QCAD uses "qcaddwg.dll" instead of "qcaddxf.dll". It seems like this. Today I've cleanup windows registry from all QCAD traces, but this gave not effect. I'll try to install QCAD on another machine and will report :(

May be dxflib is corrupted in my installation? May I check this?

... forget to note: after switching off addons in "program settings -> Save as... -> Default Format" menu missing any format (slide-down control element is empty)

The problem has solved. Cyrillic symbols in a file name is a reason of *dxf disfunction. Andrew, thank's for sharing my problem :) Good luck!
