Hole Wizard stoppst workin without any reason..

[arb65912]

Hello,

I have a problem with SW2009 that drive s me nuts ...
After working for a while in assembly, Hole Wizard stops working and I get a message:" Out of memory or other type error , unable to ..."
I do not remember exactly now but I will write it down next time it appears.
It refers to Hole wizard favorites file.
I understand that the file might be missing etc. but in this case Hole Wizard works fine and just after a while stops.
I have 6GB RAM , it should not be a problem plus it happens even on small size assemblies.

I am losing a lot of time, shutting down SW and restarting to make a hole with Hole Wizard.

Please help.

Andrzej

arb65912,

I mean a new user profile in Windows. That is completely independent of SW licences. Sometimes the user profile can become corrupted and will screw up the permissions.

I dunno if this helps, but I have been using maxmem for years with success, especially with SW 08, to release memory.

Upgrade your system to 64 bit. We had the same issue with the 32 bit systems. Once we upgraded no more issues.

Found the issue with my C+++ runtime error. IT guy here said it was the SW desktop search tool. I guess SW uses an older verision and didn't agree with windows. That what he said anyways...He turned it off an my error went away.
