RE: BPCS Lockup W95 desktop

["Merrell, David" <DAVEM@xxxxxxxxx>]

Garry:

We are using all IBM pc's that are at least 166's with 32 meg and some more CPU 
and more memory. The users are not on the net and not dial up to an ISP. We 
have tried to through resources at the problem and it does not seem to reduce 
the number of lock ups. Having only two BPCS apps open seems to be the only 
factor. The typical user has Outlook, one or two CA400 sessions open, and BPCS.

Dave, could you give us specifics on the hardware you are using?  We are also
implementing 6.02 C/S and have experienced occasional lockups, but it has
generally been due to a specific hardware (PC) situation or, less frequently, a
specific BPCS program being run.  We've also run into rare cases where TCP/IP
using applications tangle up with each other and lock up the PC.  As you know,
BPCS, Lotus Notes, web browsers all are TCP/IP users and if you are connected
to a LAN and dialing up to a ISP at the same time, that can cause a problem as
well.

Your comment about two applications open at least opens the door to PC resource
problems.  We try to use at least P166, 32Mb RAM for a BPCS PC.

We are new install of BPCS Full client server 6.02. We are finding a nagging
lockup on the client side (W95) when ever you get more that two BPCS
applications open. We are looking for a live installation that is having or has
had this problem and may know of the cause or a suitable work around. Call or
e-mail the me if you can help. Thanks much.
