[Equest-users] equest crashes

[Steven Savich]

Joe,

 

Which version of equest are you using?  Some releases are less stable than
others.

 

FWIW, recently I've used 3.61e, 3.62, and 3.62b on an XP pro desktop and
3.61e, 3.62b, and 3.63 on a Windows 7 pro desktop.  No problems so far that
were not of my own making.

 

Steven

I agree with Alex. I am running it on a MacBook Pro with a dual environment
circa 2007 with no problem. Many times I would like to blame my problems on
eQUEST but that's a separate issue.

Not to be a contrarian, but I find eQuest to run just fine. I'm running it
on a new-ish laptop (intel core 2 duo processor, 2 GB ram) and I've had very
minimal problems. Sometimes it locks up when I have an 8-shell building and
10 other programs open, but I've had that same problem with any energy
modeling tool I've used.

Does it crash sometimes? Sure once in a while. But I would say "rarely", not
"this is the most unstable program I have ever tried to use".

Just my opinion, I think the software is really great!

Luke.
Welcome to the club.
This is the most unstable program I have ever tried to use.
We have a new work station that we put EQ  into,  When we try to open an
existing program we get an error and the program crashes.  If we open the
file on another (networked) computer, we can then open the file and it will
run, sometimes.  When we try to save the file on the first computer it will
not do it. Three re-installs did not help.
I just put four hours in inputting data into 26 shells, (different
computer)I saved the file after each shell and had no error reports, I went
to run the simulation and got an error that said I had 4 file violations and
it will not run.
What helps is lots of RAM, and exit all those little TSR's  in the tray at
the bottom of the screen.  Don't run another program when using EQ. Even in
the background.
Regards
Joe
