I just got the released version of Dice and have tried using VMake. However it seems that no matter what I do the program always hangs the computer. Should the program work as it is or am I causing the problem by not setting it up right? -Jack

What are you doing? One thing that does happen which appears to be a 'hang' is when it prompts in the console window for some input. What is your configuration?

I am running a stock A3000. I understand about the apparent console hang from the documentation. However, these are real hangs,usually resulting in system alert messages and reboots. DICE runs fine when I use DME so my paths and assigns must be ok. I am assuming that VMake is runnable right out of the box. Is this correct? If not, it is quite likely that I have not set soemthing up right. Any suggesstions are welcomed. -Jack

Sounds like it might be a stack problem (perhaps DME sets a high stack when invoking VMake and your CLI doesn't). — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing

Maybe I don't understand your response or the basic premise of VMake but I am starting VMake from the CLI myself. DME doesn't invoke it. Is this correct or am I totally off base on this. -Jack

At the CLI, say "stack 50000." Now say "VMake." Is that any better than before? — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing

Thanks Dale. I'm going to start all over from scratch and see what happens. I'll give the stack message a try first though. -Jack

typing vmake in a cli should bring up the vmake window. Possibly your dcc:config/Vmake.config file is corrupt, or improperly installed ? (also make sure dcc:config/vopts.config is ok). What OS version are you using, BTW ? andy

Thanks Andy. I'm using 2.04. I'll give the config file another going over. -Jack
