<DIV>Scott Criswell had no problems loading the file and subsequently deleted some data relating to a) the initial program module being directed to the results module and b) the 3-D view geometry settings (all Greek to me) in hopes that it might solve the problem. Unfortunately I still get the same problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I recently dug through some old emails and found that the creator of the model had some crashes while running Title 24 compliance, and it seemed to be machine-specific (as is mine). However I have a completely new computer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've been hands off for the past couple of days, but will try the last/latest suggestion: Using a text editor to change the climate inputs back to the default in the pd2. Any ideas on registry problems anyone?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>FYI I had already tried opening from the INP file, and re-installing eQuest.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks everyone for your help. Unfortunately, although the consensus has been that it's a version problem, it doesn't seem to be. Here's what I've tried so far:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-Verifying that the version the in which the file was created is the same version I'm running (It is.)</DIV>
<DIV>-Opening the file with 3.6, 3.61b, 3.61e build 5653 and 5360.</DIV>
<DIV>-Logging on as an Administrator and running.</DIV>
<DIV>-Opening it up on the one machine that can open the file, modifying slightly, and then saving under a different name.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>None of it got me any farther.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just to re-iterate, this is what happens:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-On starting eQuest: "Failed to update the system registry. Please try using REGEDIT." (doesn't happen when I'm admistrator, but still can't open file)</DIV>
<DIV>-The BDL file loads with 35 Warnings (delayed wall, weighting factor) then everything just closes without any error message.</DIV>
<DIV>-An ERROORLOG.TXT not generated.<BR><BR>>>> Eric Shadd 12/19/2007 9:34 AM >>><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks Brett, I later found out that the ERRORLOG.TXT that I included was not for this error (closes too quickly to write an ERRORLOG.txt?). I also found that on other machines, upon opening, they get the error:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>File Format Error<BR>Line Number:31<BR>Column Number:16</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will try opening with an older version...if I can find one.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
