Thanks, Bruce,

I'm sending a couple. One is new that I didn't do any fit. The other is old that contained my fitting. Both of them can't open in my Artemis.

Can you humor me and send me one of your .fpj files?  I would like to examine its contents.

Thank you, Bruce,

This is the complete log file:

C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Demeter/Fit.pm line 1550."

  or this very last sentence will change to

"Can't call method "group" on an undefined value at
C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Demeter/UI/Artemis/Project.pm line 466."
if I open a different .fpj file.

Because the first few lines were similar to what I saw in Athena log
file when Athena is working, I didn't cite these.

Thank you very much for double-checking it!

I did try to check the permission of that folder by adding a file into
that folder and extracting a zip file into that folder. Neither had any
problem. I do have permission of that folder.

I also tried to open my files in Artemis installed on several other
computers in my workplace. Other computers didn't work as well. I guess
it might be a problem with the operating system/software conflict in my
workplace? I didn't install any other software by myself. All the other
updates for antivirus or Windows 7 are automatic through workplace
system management that I don't have control. I might be able to call IT
support tomorrow to see if they know anything about the system that
might have conflict with Demeter.

"Without being able to watch this on one of my computers, I can only
guess what the problem might be by examining the two lines of code you

I am wondering how to examine the two lines of code I cited. Maybe I
could talk to IT support about the code and see if there is anything
they or we can do to fix that.

Really appreciated for your replies! I know this is a very personalized
computer problem, not related to your software, which might be beyond
your duty to fix. So really thankful for your help!

        or sometimes:

        "Can't call method "group" on an undefined value at

        C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/__Demeter/UI/Artemis/Project.pm line

        466."


    Are you quite sure that is the only text in the log file?

    Demeter first writes several lines about the environment in which
    Demeter is operating.  The error message is almost always followed by
    several lines of backtrace.  All of that provides context for me to
    understand the proximal cause of the problem.  If you extract a part
    of the log file, then that context is lost to me.


        Demeter also seemed to work fine last week and only stopped working
        yesterday. I didn't update anything on my work computer, so I don't
        know what is causing the problem.


    Artemis worked on that computer last week and does not work this week?
    And you did nothing to change the computer?  Something doesn't add up.

    Did your anti virus software update?  Did your institution's system
    administrators perform an update?  Did you install any new software?
    Anything?  It's hard for me to understand how the behavior of the
    program can change simply by walking away for a few days.

    Without being able to watch this on one of my computers, I can only
    guess what the problem might be by examining the two lines of code you
    cite.

    My best guess is that something is preventing you from unpacking the
    project file.  An .fpj file is nothing more than a zip file with a
    different file extension.  It gets unpacked in %APPDATA%\stash (where
    %APPDATA% is the location of the log file).  That means that you have
    to have permission to write files to that location.  So, my best guess
    is that something is preventing you from writing to that space.  I
    have no guess for what the cause of that is.

    So, check the permission of that folder.  Try making a file in that
    folder by hand.  Try extracting a zip file buy hand into that folder.

    If not that, then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.
