I just made a bit of progress. I removed ALL paths,
except for the default IDL path, and the program
worked for me, too!

What is this? Name conflict? The only paths (well,
duh!) I was using were the Coyote and Catalyst
libraries. Bummer.

I'll let you know what I find out.

Cheers,

David

It worked for me too (win7, 64-bit):

http://hrscview.fu-berlin.de/junk/idl8_crash.png

I haven't got as far as using any of the new functions of IDL 8 for real - my crashes are caused by running old code. I haven't managed to figure out whether any particular routine is causing it.

I have 7.1 installed as well.

cheers,
Greg

Yeah, I sell books for a living, so I have more
modest machines. :-)

My two graphics cards are a NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 on my desktop
and an NVIDIA NVS 135M on my laptop, both updated now
to the latest drivers.

I note that if I run the IDL 32-bit application that the
program crashes IDL with a fatal error, but doesn't take
down my entire machine. I guess that's progress. :-(

My IDL 8.1 was installed on top of IDL 8.0.1 (which I was
never successful in using for more than 10 minutes at
a time), which was installed along with IDL 7.1. I guess
I may as well try doing a clean install from disk. This
is the second report I have that it is working on other
Windows 7, 64-bit OS.

Cheers,

David

David,

... no previous versions of IDL are on this machine.

David,

The tickname is there ...

I should point out that this is a pretty starchy machine
with 24 GB of RAM and dual Hex core Xeons ... if it helps,
I could run your program at home on more humble hardware.

The GPU is an nVidia Quadro 4000 with the latest drivers installed.

Also, do you have any earlier versions of IDL still installed?

Thanks, Martin. Can you just confirm the the TICKNAME
keyword on the Colorbar function was not commented out
(it was in an earlier version), and can you tell me
what kind of graphics driver you are using. Thanks!

David

Hey Dave,

Don't know if this is good or bad news ... but the program
runs fine on my Win7, 64bit machine.
