Hello

I would recommend an updated virus checkup.

Subject: [ISOGEOCHEM] Isodat running problems


> Hello

> We are running Finnigan's IsoDat 2.0  system with Service Pack 1.39 to
> control a Kiel Device and MAT253, on a Windows XP platform with 256Mb
> RAM.  We are getting persistent software failures, of two kinds.  The
first
> is spontaneous termination of an Aquisition sequence, with the log-file
> message that the system has tried to start a script that is already
> running.  This is Fatal and the sequence terminates.
> The second type of failure is that the Aquisition application simply
seizes
> up.  No error message appears on the log-file and the current scripts
> appear as "running" in the ISLScript window.  In fact nothing is
> happening.  A variant of this is that when we start Aquisition from the
> main Isodat menu, it starts but after a few seconds we get a Microsoft
> error window saying that it should be shut down.  Shutting it down leaves
> Isodat in an unstable state and Aquisition cannot be started again unless
> the whole system is shut down and the computer rebooted.  Running Task
> Manager at this stage indicates variable memory use, but never complete
> usage of all the memory.
