RE: [Ifeffit] Trying to get started
Doug, Scott,
This may be a brand new bug in the Ifeffit 1.2.5 download. I am also using XP, and it was working fine under 1.2.4. I downloaded 1.2.5, and when I try to import any data (even the example files that come with the package) into either Artemis or Athena, they crash when they try to display on the graphics screen. To be specific, I can see the data get read in, but when it gets to the stage of graphing the data, the main Artemis or Athena screen vanishes, the program icons go away from the task bar, and the graphics screen remains, but it is blank.
The very same thing happened to me on a Windows 2000 PC. I tried to remove and reinstall completely Ifeffit 1.2.5, but it didn't work. Then I removed Ifeffit 1.2.5 (including erasing the folders by hand once the 'uninstall' software was run), and installed Ifeffit 1.2.4: same trouble. And Ifeffit 1.2.2: bis repetita non placent. Finally, I had to dig out an old Ifeffit 1.0075 version (sigh...) Also, these problems appeared after I once ran the Ifeffit Updater 1.0. I wonder if there is any communication problem between the updater and the Ifeffit package, or if the new Ifeffit packages are writing files that can be neither removed upon uninstall, nor overwritten on re-installation. Best regards, Michel Schlegel

I did not have quite the same experience as Michel on my Win2K machine, but I may have done something slightly different. 1. I uninstalled 1.2.5 using the uninstall menu item in the Start menu. 2. Then I deleted the C:\Program Files\Ifeffit folder that got left behind once the uninstall was done. 3. Then I downloaded the 1.2.4 installer package from http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/src/ 4. Then I installed 1.2.4. 5. Then I ran athena (version 0.8.023 is what comes with ifeffit 1.2.4 -- not too out of date!) and it seemed to work ok. I did *not* allow the updater to update beyond 1.2.4, which would (I presume) return me to square one. Of course, your athena and artemis configuration files and most recently used files will be lost doing what I did. (Unless you back them up first!)
