Aongus,
I apologize for the delay in getting back with you. I have been trying
to check on drivers for your card, but haven't had much luck.
Can you describe in a little more details what happens? You are loading
layouts and eventually you get a GPF or page fault? Does it occur on
the same layout all the time? Does it occur after loading the same
number of layouts or just at random after loading more than one layout?
Does it occur on a layout that has mixed data? By that I mean daily
with weekly or monthly? Daily with a composite included? Do your
layouts contain lots of indicators or none or just what?
We had a problem with an early release of 6.52 and certain types of
layouts. Perhaps that is causing your problem. We have new patches
available on the web that fixed all the problems we could duplicate. We
have not seen any problems specific to SP4 except the problem within The
DownLoader caused by Microsoft writing over a couple of our registry
entries so I really don't think it is SP4 causing it, although I never
rule anything out.

Subject: 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
Aongus Flood
