Rép. : SPSS 15.0.1 freezes sometimes

[Philippe Naud]

Hi

I have exactly the same problem then Frank. But until now, every time I
try to open a syntax file by double-clicking on it when SPSS is not
already open, SPSS freezes. My software and hardware situation is the
same then the one describe by Frank below.

I hope this bug could be fixed soon.

Hi

Unlike San I am using a site licence version of SPSS 15.

I am having problems with SPSS 15.0.1 freezing on startup during the
license check (sometimes). When it freezes, I can't even use Task
Manager to cancel the process and need to reboot the computer.

I am starting SPSS by double-clicking on a .sps syntax file.
I am using a site licence version of SPSS.
I am using SPSS 15.0.1
I am running Windows XP Service Pack 1.
I am using a high-end computer with lots of RAM and disk space.
I am using a Novell NetWare server (this is where the syntax file is
stored).

I have reinstalled SPSS 15 (and the patch) and the intermittent
problem
still persists (most times SPSS starts without any problems). I can't
seem to be able to find a specific cause. Generally I am not running
other applications at the same time.

Has anyone else had problems with SPSS freezing on startup and/or can
offer any solutions ?

Cheers

Frank Milthorpe

Hello,
We have a commuter license. When ever SPSS crashes I had to restart
the PC to start the SPSS again! Otherwise it SPSS can't get the
licenses!

Anyone knows a way around this?
