Hi, I want only to inform Bruce and all the ifeffit´s users that I downloaded the ifeffit 1.2.10 version on my new computer that uses Window Vista software! After trying several times to load it from your site (and this is a problem of Vista!), now I have my athena, artemis and hephaestus. I must admit the program works a quite good. Ok, somethimes it crashes by itself, but you have only to close and reopen it (so, save all every 5 minutes). I hope no other problems emerge!
Hi Anna, Thanks for the information. In my (very limited) experience, it helps to install Ifeffit into your personal space rather that its default location. That way you do not need admin priviledge to run it. I am unaware of a new problem resulting in such frequent crashes. It seems highly likely that you are running into this well-known issue: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel/software/windows_crash.html If so, the work-around is quite simple ;-) There is some more information about installing our software on Vista and other operating systems at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/FAQ/Installing_Ifeffit Regards, B -- Bruce Ravel ----------------------------------- bravel@bnl.gov National Institute of Standards and Technology Building 535A, Room M7 c/o Brookhaven National Laboratory Upton NY, 11973, USA My homepage: http://xafs.org/BruceRavel EXAFS software: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/
