I like to know a bit more about

a) what are you doing by idl before it breaks down
b) what kind of hardware do you use
c) are all of your systems having same configuration of hardware and
software
d) what licence of haspnt do you have?
e) what kind of printer/driver do you have

We are having a lot of IDL installations on win nt40. They are very stable.

They are more stable as our usage of IDL on IBM aix workstation.

I presume you have plenty of virtual memory? I have a GByte on
a hard-disk partition that I give over to swap space. Windows
is weird, weird, weird. But I have to say that when I get a
software combination stable I almost *never* crash. I just
live in dread of having to update *any* software at all.

Cheers,

David

Dear IDL users,

I experience quite the same problem with WinNT 4.0 (service pack 6a) and
IDL.
The breakdown is not after 10 minutes but after 1 or 2 minutes of intensive
IDL
operation (I work with large files). I tried to change the display driver,
the driver
of the sound card, the driver of the network card, the HASP driver, etc.
but IDL still crashes.

In some cases the whole NT is crashes (blue screen). Can anybody help me?

This makes almost impossible for me to work with IDL.

Other software (eg. MS Word, Netscape, Corel software, etc) does NOT
crashes, only IDL does..... Frustrating.

Best regards:

Zoltan BARCZA

Don't you just love Windows (What would you like to re-install today?).

Ah, you like resolving the problems of running libc5 executables on a
libc6 system? Interesting (in a Chinese sort of way).

Linux also has it's own little quirks. Like trying to find the correct
monitor/video settings to get X to run in 24 bit colour on an LCD
panel...

Now I got a new "Licence Key" from creaso.
Same procedure: 10 min -> Dr.Watson

I installed IDL on another WinNT, SP4 - machine
Same procedure: 10 min -> Dr.Watson

Frustrating!

I know it is tempting to blame IDL for this, but
after a long, frustrating weekend getting my
Windows NT 4.0, SP4 machine back together after
installing a new device driver, I'm not so sure.

Last week I installed an updated graphics driver.
Soon after I noticed a fatal error every time I
tried to connect to the Internet. Absolutely
reproducible. I de-installed the driver and
re-installed the previous one. No help. I
re-installed the Dial-up connection service,
which is the code causing the error. No help.
I re-installed *all* my network services. No help.
I went back to the very first graphics drivers and
installed all up to the last update. No help.

Finally, it's about 2:30 AM and I say to hell with
it and I re-install the updated driver that caused
me all the problems in the first place. Bingo. Problem
solved.

AAAAAAuuuuughhhh!

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say I'm reading Linux books even as
we speak. :-(
