We can run this model in eQuest 3.64 and 3.63b on other Vista 64 bit operating system computers in the office, so we are pretty sure it is not a Vista problem. The attached file is a computer that successfully runs the eQuest Wizard model. The JPEG image shown below shows the specs for a computer that does not successfully runs the eQuest Wizard model in either 3.64 or 3.63b. Both computers use Vista and both are 64 bit operating systems. We have discovered that the error message occurs on another computer we have in the office with the same parameters as listed below. Does anybody know what is going on and how do we fix it? Waiting for eQuest 3.65 to maybe fix the problem is not a successful option.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=section1 style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Kathryn Kerns</span></strong><span style='color:navy'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=section1 style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><em><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy;font-style:normal'>Systems Specialist</span></b></em><span style='color:navy'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=section1 style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><em><b><span style='font-variant:small-caps;color:teal;font-style:normal'>BCE</span></b></em><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-variant:small-caps;color:teal'> </span><span style='font-variant:small-caps;color:teal'>Engineers, Inc.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p><p class=section1 style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black'>| Ph: 253.922.0446 | Fx: 253.922.0896 |</span></strong><span style='font-size:7.0pt;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=section1 style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Oleg Chernov <br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, November 09, 2012 3:24 PM<br><b>To:</b> Kathryn Kerns<br><b>Cc:</b> Steve Butros<br><b>Subject:</b> Equest 3.63B error on Nick's computer</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Here is a summary.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I installed Equest 3.63b on Nick's computer and he still gets "an invalid argument encountered".<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>His computer specs below.
