Hello Team IMPLAN - Happy Holidays! I lost my harddrive about two weeks ago and Dell sent me a new one. I am in the final stages of re-installing all my software. Last night I downloaded my IMPLAN software. It looks like everything installed ok. However, when I go to select a region and the click Continue to build the study area, the software appears to construct the study region and then immediately shuts down. No kidding, it completely closes. When I re-open the software and open that model it does not say Study Region Complete in the red rectangle and the hour glass continues to be visible when the cursor is on top of the software window. Everything else on the computer works fine - SAS, Excel, etc. - so I'm not sure what is happening with IMPLAN. Should I un-install it and re-install it? Thanks, Steve

  Since you were able to install the software I assume you have admin privileges. Are you using Vista? If so turn of the UAC and see if that helps. Have you tried making another model (note don't use special characters (like apostrophes in the name)?

  Thanks Doug - I am running Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 2. I used the default model names for my test of the software so there are no special characters.

  There could be a few different causes for that, I would recommend first uninstalling the implan software and installing the latest version from [url=http://implan.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=18&Itemid=65 ]here[/url] If that doesnt solve the issue I would disable any virus scanner that you have installed and see if that helps. Also is this your personal laptop or one given to you by your IT team? Ambrose

  Thanks Ambrose - I will try those suggestions. This is my personal laptop that I bought from Dell for my own consulting/computing purposes outside of my university.
