Is anyone else having this problem?
A few weeks ago my GPS post-processing program began crashing every time I hit the "ADJUST" button. It does it with old projects and new.
I have a suspicion that it started after many "automatic windows updates".
I'm using a Windows 7 pro, 32 bit machine, i5 processor with 4M of ram.

I am having to use an older Win XP machine to do my GPS calcs.

You could try downloading windows XP mode for your win 7 machine (free for win 7 pro). It's a nice workaround to run older software.

Or you could roll back win7 to a time before the update, you also may want to notify Topcon of the problem.

Topcon has been notified by Curtis at Hayes. Topcon has duplicated the problem, so at least it's not peculiar to my machine.
I tried to roll back, but Win7 says unable to.
The XP mode is an idea. I'll look into that.
Thanks for the thoughts.

The XP Mode allowed the program to work for me on my Win 7 machine. I do look forward to a fix, though, so that I don't have to chew up memory running a Virtual machine

Thanks, up in Boothbay. I'm a Mainer, myself- from on the Kennebec in Bingham.
