Hi Tom Good, I can assure you that I can run much much larger datasets. So that can't be the problem.
What I am thinking on: - are you running as administrator or with restricted rights on MSWindows? - which version of MSWindows is it, Starter, Professional, Ultimate etc. MSWindows 7 has several versions maybe there is one with so much restrictions that it is hardly possible to use it for work. - are you able to write on the temp directory and is there enough space? - if you start psppire from a commandline with, most likely "c:\program files\pspp\bin\psppire.exe" and then do the things, are there any messages in the console? - with "start" "all programs" "pspp" "examples" you land in a screen with .sps example files. What are the results if you run them? Have fun 2012/2/24 Tom Gillaspy <[email protected]> > I seem to be making a bit of progress.
