Instalation

Unread post by micos3 »

Hi! This will be a long but complete description, thanks for ur pacience!
I'm still working with TS 2006 wich is completely absolete but does "almost" everything we want. It is good enough to work but is limited, and once we continue to evolue in machines we are having some recent problems that i imagine it gonna worse for now on. So to prevent that, i've installed the TS 2008 for first time with all the updates. I've saw a post in here with possible problems and to prevent any problem i've checked all updates for my graphic card too.
Well it crashes and crashes again. I've copy a file that belongs to TS2006 topzdft.cfg, and it started to work. Is more hard to crash but when i open files of 2006, sometimes works fine and sometimes doesn't give me all the options forcing me to restart TS or file :x .
I have had the same problem in 2007 and lost many time trying to solve it, wich i gave up thoughting that was missing some thing or have been made some mistake :oops: .
Once this problem is being repeated i might be doing something wrong or is missing me some thing or some knowledge.
We are using more frequently some sheets in production, wich i've lefted some time ago in forum CAM, and in this version, i open it and it lastes 5 min open, then it crashes... :roll:

Can someone help me?
I hope it wasn't too confused

Thanks again

Hello,

it is not especially a "good" idea to keep your config from TS2006 to TS2008. Sometimes, some keywords are also obsolete, and can make give you some conflict in the use of your software.

If you are using a x64 system, you can also have some trouble with the sentinel driver, especially if it stop 5mn after the starting:

I hope it helps,

Thanks for ur tip.
I'm working on 32b system, on XP.
For now is running but it stills failing sometimes, i leave here 2 images when does work and when it fails, are images from same piece, and both when i click with mouse right button on program roughing the 1st one.
I don't know why but sometimes i have to restart and restart the TS 2008 till appears normal option. What can it be :roll: ?
I've now only worked in TS08 from beginning till end. In yet, i've build the same sheet in 08 that i use in 06, all in 08, with 08 keywords, and when i open it it crashes almost immeadiatly. :?:
