Sorry, but I realized my reply was confusing:
I replaced the new version of xdisp on the new working HKL2000 with the old application, that way the only thing not updated is xdisp.

I had the same problem with the zoom window, so I just downloaded the older version of HKL2000 and replaced the old version of xdisp (the zoom window app.) with the new version. I'm not sure why, but it now works perfectly.

Hope that helps,

Dear CCP4bb,

 Sorry for the non-CCP4 related question.

I am running HKL2000 (ver 0.98.698m) on an iMac (OSX 10.5). On starting up the software the following message is displayed:-

"Total amount of memory found: 2041 MB (required by HKL-2000; 256 MB)

Could not check system resources

Please run commands:
uname -a
[HKLPATH]/hklsysinfo M memory
[HKLPATH]/hklsysinfo M swap
[HKLPATH]/hklsysinfo M memory limit

Error: swap amount not valid"

( On running the above commands and the output is:

For the most part, HKL2000 runs well; I am able to display my images, peak search, process data, scale data, etc, etc. However, when I try to open up a 'zoom window' in XDisplayF, HKL2000 crashes. Unlimiting the memoryuse, stacksize and datasize was ineffective. Increasing the swap space was also unsuccessful. My question is: Do I need to allocate more virtual memory or does the problem lie elsewhere?
