SPSS V17 is (Processing...) forever in viewer

[Ruben Geert van den Berg]

Dear all,
 
I recently had to upgrade from V14 to V17. Although I like the 'alter type' function, I generally feel V17 is a disaster. One of my latest frustrations is that I cannot see some tables in the output viewer. Where the tables should appear, it says (Processing...) and it continues to do so until my patience runs out and I switch to my laptop to rerun everything in V15.
 
But anyway, is there anyway to remedy this slowness? Is my PC not powerful enough? Should I try to uninstall and reinstall SPSS? Is there anything else I could do in order to make V17 run more adequately?
 
TIA!

Dear Ruben,

Are you running Release 17.0.0, or have you patched up to the available 17.0.3 version? If you haven't installed the patches, please give that a try. I've opened a support case for you on this issue.

Hi, I'm not overly tech literate, especially with SPSS, but I needed to use it for my dissertation.
I worked through some statistics with my lecturer on a MAC and saved the output file to datapen, when I open it on PC all of the tables show as (processing) too, bar one. They never load and I'm not sure how to recover them if possible. Any suggestions?

I don't know anything about Mac, but I might be able to help if you still
have your original *.sav and *.sps files.  Do you have them?  Meanwhile have
a look at the SPSS tutorials on my website.

Hi there.  Try opening SPSS first, and then using the menu bars from Files to Open to Output.
