command interrupt

[jharoldson]

We have (5) workstations running CATIA V5 (win2000pro) with no problems. We have one XP workstation that is crashing when certain pulldown functions are pressed such as tools,options,units then a "command interrupt" message appears and the program locks up. CATIA opens fine, points to a license and runs as it should. I have already purged the CATSettings with no improvement. Any suggestions?
Workstation: P-4 3.06MHz, 1.5GB ram, radeon 128Mb, XP PRO SP1; HD2 licenses
Thanks,

Make sure that the environment is identical.

Make sure that all of the directories pointed to by the environment exist.

Hi,

Even on a workstation which is running under UNIX you can find this type of error. So, just be pacient and start again CATIA. Maybe next time you will be more lucky (really, I didn't find any explanation for this error).

Re-install the code. If that doesn't work, re-install Windows XP. Also, as Jim noted, check that it's running the correct environment.

V5 is written in and for Windows XP. It runs better on XP than any other operating system, so you can discount that as your problem.

Whaoo.
That was a bold statement Configurator "V5 is written in and for Windows XP. It runs better on XP than any other operating system, so you can discount that as your problem".
Should I discount windows as a problem when MS Office crashes as well as you know it's also made by Microsoft and probably developed for Windows not Unix or what do you think?
Despite my negative comments though I find that Catia is quite stabil under Win but Unix is still a lot more reliable and I heard same comments from UG users as well so that makes me immediately think that it is a OS problem maybe I'm just Paranoid. Anybody else had crashes in Windows or am I the only user of windows having crashes (I make sure to save often paranoid as I am)???

Windows crashing isn't V5 crashing. Sure, UNIX crashes less than Windows, but I won't attribute an OS crash to an application other than the OS. V5 for Unix is a port from Windows. Performance-wise and stability-wise (of CATIA, not Windows), XP is a better platform for V5 than is Unix or 2000. His command interrupt is not the fault of Windows unless the install is flawed. That's the point.
