Hi All,
I am attempting to run PSPP on Windows 7 Professional. So far, it is
working very slowly.
I am able to open a dataset, but am not able to operations do not work as
expected.
[ background:
I initially downloaded a 32 bit version ("most recent version" on
sourceforge). I assumed that was the problem, so I un-installed and went
with the most recent 64 bit version. That didn't improve it. I went to a
6 months old version, same. I tried "set /workspace 1000000." and "set
/workspace 2500000." since I have 4 GB of RAM. It didn't make a difference.
At this point, I thought the program wasn't working at all, beyond opening
a dataset.
To test it, I would run what I assume are simple operations (frequency,
descriptive statistics). I tried GUI and syntax. (I could not figure out
how to open the terminal from the .) If I make a syntax error I get a
quick report in the Output.
end of background]
[Here's what happens:
I install, works. I open the program, works. I open a dataset (on local
drive, on network drive, by GUI or by syntax) works.
I run a command from syntax, with incorrect syntax, works.
I set a weighting variable, works.
If I run a command with correct syntax, or select one using GUI (I tried
recode, compute, frequency), it sits there. If I click on the window at all
it starts to say "not responding" on the header and after that if I Alt+Tab
to a different program, it won't open any PSPP windows at all for about 20
minutes. Then, after that, I can get the windows to open and minimize, but
still see "not responding" and no result.
When it does work the only way I can copy content from the Output window is
to use the File:export command. I can only paste content into the syntax
window from outside using the drop-down menu.
end of what happens]
Did I set something up incorrectly?
