I am using animator pro and am having trouble with the aniconv utility. I have tried to use it to load tiff files made in a number of different programs including aldus freehand and scan gallery. My system lock{ up every time I try to load the tiff; I get the following message: Abnormal Program Termination: Page fault cs:EIP:000ch:000024CAh. I am urgently in need of a solution, any answers?

This error message, Abnormal Program Termination, can usually be traced to a memory conflict. For troubleshooting, why not boot up with no config.sys or autoexec.bat. Load your mouse, then try your aniconv operation. If things work properly, then you should look in the config.sys and autoexec.bat for the line that introduces the error. Also, you should try CHKDSK /F on your aniconv drive. There are times when a chkdsk Lost Allocation report will explain erratic behaviour. Cleaning up the Lost Allocations may allow ANICONV to function properly. Good luck! Nik

Nik & Jennifer, Try creating an ani & aniconv.bat as follows example: cd\ani ani -m 5333333 this will exclude enogh memory for it to run.
