Javier/Dan, We solved our Win7 problem. We had bought the machines without the OS installed because we have enough licenses. After several frustrating hours, we went back to Dell's support page and repeatedly ran several driver update programs for our specific models. Group installs always quit before finishing. Installing one driver at a time at least got them loaded. We just kept running the update programs until no more updates were available. This morning ran several long, complicated portions of the database with no problem for over 15 minutes.

I have been trying to figure out this issue with no luck for long time; I get this issue with 3 workstations running Win 7. A couple of week ago I did a complete upgrade of Windows and drivers on one of the computers where auto-upgrades had been turned off and it seems to have helped but not completely eliminated the problem. I keep thinking it is a video driver or a network issue but they do not have this problem with any other software, only the compiled version of R:base. When the application was flashing, I went to the Windows Task Manger and was able to get a "dump" for the dead application but I have not been able to find a software that allows me to look at the "dump" file and analyze the contents. BTW, the 3 workstation are Dell.

Moving from XP Pro to Win7 Pro with new desktops (i5- 3470 Quad core, 8 GB memory), and fast managed switches. The compiled database (64 9.5, latest updates) is on the server. XP machines run the database just fine. On the new Win 7 machines the same database lasts about about 5-8 screens in. Then it seems to flash 4-5 screens and exits all the way out. This never happens on our XP machines. It does not seem to matter which menu item is selected. I am running XP and Win7 machines side by side through the same switch trying to figure this out. Where do I look to resolve this? Tom Frederick President/CEO Elm City Center 1314 W Walnut Jacksonville, IL 62650 W- 217-245-9504 F - 217-245-2350 E - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
