Paul Dolan Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Hi recently the only way i can exit VW 8.5.1 ON NT4 is by ending task. If i choose file - quit the drawing window closes but the program will not. It freezes and the only way i can get rid of the program is by Task manager & end task. Has anyone gotten around this problem. System = VW 8,5.1 on Compaq with 64ram & nt4 ( sp 5 ). Any suggestions appreciated PAUL Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted June 23, 2000 Share Posted June 23, 2000 Paul: This sounds as though you are running too low on system resources while using VectorWorks. This could cause the situation you are referring to. If your RAM is used up while running the program, there will not be enough left to shut the program down and therefore you will have to perform a manual shutdown. Try closing the current file first, then quit the program. If this does not work, please contact Technical Support for further assistance. You might also consider adding more RAM to your machine and verifying that no other programs are running at the same time. I.e. close any Anti-Virus programs as they foul up the VectorWorks and use precious system resources. ------------------ Brian O Nemetschek North America Technical Support Quote Link to comment
Paul Dolan Posted June 23, 2000 Author Share Posted June 23, 2000 Brian I have tried closing the file first before exiting the program but still no luck. I will however try to quit all utilities ( eg. HP driver resources ) before exiting. I will try a few more things over the weekend. Thanks for your help PAUL Quote Link to comment
