Oh, before I go further, unless you're comfortable with what is in the
other tabs, DON'T EVEN THINK about changing aything in them. :^)

I'd like to double this statement from Jim. If you don't know EXACTLY
what anything on the list does, DON'T DELETE it! You could trash the
O/S and it's I/O functions good.


Check this out, Larry. It lives in Control Panel and is only about 100k
Freeware. More versatile than msconfig

Startup Control Panel

There are lots of Registry editing programs that automate the process.
Isn't it odd almost any program works better than the utilities that
come from the biggest software house on the planet....

You still brag about the gigabytes of the intellectual property of

Hi Dennis,

It's Maxsea 10 which is very recent and developed for XP but ver 7.2 has
the same problem.

Further the big computer runs fine and never any problem at all

As i have said i have two computers both with XP Pro and on one no problems
at all.

If by diagnostic mode you mean 'safe mode', that was NOT
suggested. Safe mode is good when you installed a driver that
conflicts with your system so bad it won't even boot. Then you can
go into safe mode to uninstall the program or delete the device
drivers.

Maxsea is a pretty old programme, and Win XP wasn't invented when Maxsea

was
created.

I think the incompatiblity is with your OS, since you seem to have ample
memory and disk space
plus a P4 processor.

I can run Maxsea on Win98 on a P2 laptop no bother, so it must be the way
Win XP allocates memory, i.e. a coding conflict within XP and Maxsea.

Is this the latest version of Maxsea?

Dennis.

Memory problems
 
To understand the problem, we need to isolate it - when did the problem
begin ..
Questions about the machine with 1024 MB ram
Has it always had this much memory ? or did you add more to it?
If you added more, then:
- did it work fine before you added memory?
If so, there is the possibility of different memory speeds between existing
and new. I suggest you go to the memory mfg web site and look for tips (eg
www.Kingston.com has several notes on this issue. As well, you might want
to play with your bios memory speed settings.

I can load without problems the program on the older computer "B" with so
much less memory



I can't find what the problem is any help will be appreciated.

If it's RDRam memory, the 2 sets of 2 banks should be populated by the same
speed memory modules, (say PC800), but the individual slots of bank 2 may
have larger or smaller capacity modules than the slots in bank1. In other
words, the make and type of the modules in bank 2 should match each other,
but only the speed has to match the modules in bank 1. Worth checking! This
is why they are almost always sold in pairs.

Memory problems
 
Hi All,

Thanks for your help, The computer is new 2 months old only, the mem chip is
a pair and I have done mem. check as well and could not find a problem.

I have the same problem with an old Maxsea ver.7 program and with the new
ver 10. and again no problem on the other old comp.

I will be away for a few days with my boat for some serious fishing.

Be back on Thursday

Cheers

Find the Maxsea object module. Select with single left click, open menu
with single right click and left click on properties. In the second tab
play with the compatibility settings and see what happens.
