Hi Laurie,

 

When you say running from a Netware Server or running from a Windows 2003
Server, I presume you mean that you are using these as file servers, and you
are actually running the applications on some client machine.  I really
suspect this is what you are doing, and if so I do not think it is simply a
memory issue as you are not executing any DP code in the memory space of
these servers but only in the client. If the client is exactly the same as
when you were previously using Netware then I would think it is either a
locking, file handles, permissions issue or some other vaguery of the
Windows networking

 

By the way everyone, I have just become a daddy again. Mum and baby boy
(Robert) are doing well, 3.5kgs (7lb 12oz), 53cm (almost 21 inches), lots of
dark hair (no metric-imperial conversion J), blue eyes. (likewise). 

 

Like 2 of my other 3 boys he was late, but this one needed a c-section. 

 

Bye

Brian

Hi, Tim,

 

Thanks for your response.  I am already using the /w-50K startup switch,
which had worked fine for years until now.  :-(

 

(You were probably the person who told me about that years ago - thanks!)

 

I'm not sure if it's a memory issue or not, but it just seemed to me that it
might be.  The only other time I have had a problem like this, I finally
figured out that the PC that it was happening on had a non-Intel CPU that
was apparently overheating, and that was somehow causing it to suddenly
whack out while running complicated macros.  However, this is now happening
on all the PCS on my (Windows 2003) network, not just one.

 

Do you have any other ideas of things it might be?

 

Thanks!!

 

Laurie

Laurie,

 

Have you tried using the command line option to increase the memory
available for macro execution?

 

If I'm remembering correctly, the command line was /w-xx where xx is the
number of kb to allocate for the macro processor.

 

Try starting up Shell with the following command line:  mc /w-30 shell

 

See if that makes any difference.

Hello, all,

 

I have some DP apps that I have been running for years off a Netware file
server with no problems.  Now I have to make them also work on a Windows
2003 server.  (All workstations are running XP Pro.)  When I run them from
the Windows 2003 server, the shell macros for my DP program are crashing,
and I have the impression it is because they are running out of memory in
the DOS window.  What happens is that after a short time running, it starts
typing garbage on the screen instead of what is supposed to be typing, and
shortly thereafter it just freezes the screen and gives up the ghost.

 

The macros are rather large - In the past I have broken some of the macros
up into smaller sub-macro files in order to get them to work when there have
been apparent memory issues, but doing that again doesn't seem to help this
time.

 

All memory settings seem to be the same on the workstations.  The only thing
I can see that seems to be a major difference is the network client.  Does
anyone have any suggestions as to what may be the problem or, more
importantly, how it can be fixed? 

 

Thanks!!!

 

Laurie
