<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>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.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>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.<br>
<br>
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".<br>
<br>
Just my opinion, I think the software is really great!<br>
<br>

Subject: [Equest-users] equest crashes<br>
<br>
Luke.<br>
Welcome to the club.<br>
This is the most unstable program I have ever tried to use.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
Regards<br>
Joe<br>
