Equations problems again

Hello all,

Maybe some of you can help me determine what the problem is that we are experiencing. I have built a large assembly some in-contexted features reside in the assembly model. There are also 2 equations in the assembly model. Out of 4 machines that includes my machine, the gentleman sitting next to me, our VAR, and SW tech support, they can run this model without a bit of trouble, but on this other persons machine I can't get the equations to work. In fact on his machine the Equations when they are Evaluated, there is nothing there, not even numbers, not even "0 in". Just a blank white space. This is a very particular problem and I have all but given up. I have asked for more RAM and better video card. Still waiting to see if these items will help. But I was hoping someone else besides myself has seen this.

I don't think the model is to blame, since 4 of us can run it on different hardware systems without a problem.
Anyone else seen this or do you have a cure for me.....??

Thanks,
Scott Baugh, CSWP :)

Forgot to mention what SP we have tried this on.

SP0, SP4 & SP5, works fine on all. This other persons machine has had the same SP's with the no luck so far. Scott Baugh, CSWP :)

Are the versions of Excel and the OS the same on the inoperative system? If it is a video problem, try shrinking the window instead of viewing full screen.

We have replaced the the video card to a VX-1 Oxygen. We added 512 mb of RAM. Excel is fine, Windoes is fine. We even tired a new account in windows. Nothing works so far.

We are going to reinstall SW to see if that makes the difference. Scott Baugh, CSWP :)
