RE: Still blowing up with patch 6.52

Many thanks for all your replies and to the Equis Support group.

In anwser to Bradley's question, why install the SP4 patch.  As a software
developer and doing some work at home, the current development environment
requires it.  I could install 6.52 on a Win98 partition and this would
probably work.  However, I would loose a processor among other things.

In answer to Equis for more information....
1. My video card is a Diamond Stealth (S3 Vision 968 Chipset)VRAM using the
s3.sys(4.00) driver and s3.dll(4.0.0), selecting a monitor type under NT4
isn't an option.  But the monitor is running at 72Hz 1152x864 in 64k colors.
2. As for the MFC dlls.  I have the latest MS Dev Studio 6.0(SP2)  The
latest Equis patches were applied after MS Dev Studio.  I also have a full
set of symbol files for NT4.  If you would like, I can download symbol files
for Metastock and have DrWatson attach on the crash.  I tried once tonight
to attach with DrWatson but it failed.

I'll try again tomorrow night, but if you would like further details contact
at aongusf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or aflood@xxxxxxxx

All the best
Aongus

Subject: Still blowing up with patch 6.52


I have installed every recommended patch from Equis to date.  Yet when I use
layouts, eventually the program will generate an unhandled exception and go
down in flames.   The older version on the CDROM (6.5) did not do this.

The OS is NT4 (SP4).  Is there some magic that needs to be applied for this
to be fixed.  Does anyone else have the same problem?  It seems to me the
best course forward is to re-install the 6.5 from the CDROM, at least this
is stable and TESTED.  I am aware that layouts in 6.52 trash the format of
the 6.5 layout, something they don't tell you with the patch, making going
back and forth time consuming.

If Equis would like any further details on this issue, I would happily
oblige.

My regards
