No, you don't owe me :-)
As one SW engineer once said after he helped me out of a pickle, "We are all here to serve".
That I learned during the first day with 16.3 when trying to move a swath of stuff: Don't do that! :-)
It froze Capture but recovered after CTRL-ALT-DEL and re-start.
Actually Jeorg, it almost sounds like you have multiple versions installed, in different locations, and the registrations keep getting futzed up. You might just try to run each of the applications individuatlly directly from My Computer, as this will self-register teh applications. I used to have a batch file that ran each exe with a registrations keyword, but can't find it now... :-(

Let's just say I would be glad to give you advice then... ;-)

Grant's suggestion is a good one. In many cases a memory error surfaces by using a particular application while the rest seems to run just fine. I recently used memtest succesfully to find a defective memory module.
There is only on directory that holds the software. Whenever it crashes I uninstall, wipe what's possible in that directory (some stuff is rite protected for whatever reason).
I'll do that when the computer has the required time off but that rarely happens here :-)
However, I doubt it'll find anything because I often use other software to the point where it maxes out the RAM and starts using the HD. That should have crashed if there was bad RAM but it didn't.
Is that Mormon or Catholic or Baptist "rite" protected? It'll make difference :-) ...Jim Thompson
Lutheran. Of course :-)
Thank you. And I'll call if I really get stuck. So far it seems to be related to things after you left though. Heck, they don't even provide a proper uninstaller and you have to manually erase stuff, but not all the stuff. I remember that Microsim PSpice was rock-solid, can't remember ever crashing that. That is most certainly not the case with what I have now.
More like "last".
I guess he's too stubborn to use the free 'Revo Uninstaller' that I suggested a while back.
Joerg does tend toward stubborn ;-) ...Jim Thompson
That's an understatement. :(
Revo will let you remove all traces of a program from the hard drive, including things that are buried in the registry. I use it to clean up donated computers. Some programs have over 3,000 registry entries that aren't removed by using the uninstall routine that comes with the software. You load and run Revo, then click on the program you want to delete. Click 'Uninstall', and the built in unistaller runs the program's unistall routine. Then click 'next', and 'delete' as prompted to clean up the registry and remove empty folders. It's so simple that even dimboobie could run it. Maybe even Sloman or Maynard.
Yup. In my case that would almost be like taking a 9mm and *KABLAM* ... look, dudes, it's clean now!
Unfortunately that will have also killed the license. Which would be just great :-)

Your igonrance is showing. :(
And you have no clue how to recover that first so you keep wasting by time reinstalling it, over and over. That's called insanity. :(
No, it's a matter of caution. It is not prudent to hose license files off the disk.
This is the method the manufacturer prescribed.
Whatever. It's still a huge waste of time.
You tend to conclude prematurely without knowing the required details. Getting the license manager back up and running with this software can be a major waste to time. While my file/directory wipe by hand took, what, 60 seconds?

rite
Times how many hundred reinstalls?
