Shoaib, Do you have any experience with virtual machines? You could run it on a stable earlier version of Windows that you previous used before upgrading. Virtualbox and Linux would completely free and you could probably be up and running in less than an hour. Just a thought, Chris

Thanks Christopher for your kind reply, Actually, virtualbox or alternative OS would be my last resort in case I could not solve this issue. I would prefer to somehow solve this issue under Windows8 x64 to keep my system simple and take maximum advantage of updated hardware. Thanks,

Hi Matt, Shoaib (and Bruce lurking in the luminiferous ether), I have 8.1 x64 on my laptop and just upgraded to 0.9.19 - clean install. I can offer some additional details on this problem. I read in a file in DAthena, extracted the chi(k) and saved the project. All buttons worked. When the file

Installing 0.9.19 overtop of 0.9.18.2 and Athena works fine. Installing 0.9.19 clean (deleting demeter directory under appdata/roaming) 2nd attempt to open file in DAthena results in only 1 mini-graph. Ranges are 0 for Emin/max, kmin/max, Rmin/max - putting a valid range restores full graph

Hi all, I have also had an impossible time trying to get the demeter package to work on Mac, but I am happy to do any tests if anybody thinks they have a solution. I am running 10.6.8. It's been a while since I've spent a lot of time trying to get it work, but I recall the pgplot port working

Out of curiosity, I installed 09.19 on a fresh Win8.1 64bit under VMWare. No problems during installation. I opened the cyanobacteria.prj data from Bruce's sample data repo in Athena. After clicking around a few times (specifically, clicking the green arrow and the magnifying glass+red curve

Apologies, I should've put all this in 1 message. I just wanted to make really sure that things are indeed crashing where we think they are: I reopened Athena, loaded the cyanobacteria.prj again, grabbed the plot log (no warnings/errors/crashes have appeared in Athena at this point, although the
