Have you scanned your system for viruses lately?

Yeah sounds like something is wrong with your system. We have thousands of users without that issue. sometimes you might need to reboot. Windows is important to reboot daily I find.

You may be right. It does sound a little strange. I have so much installed on my system, I can't have anything wrong with it. It would be too much trouble to redo. It is a win7 16g 2T 7core unit.

Thanks for the observation. But, if one of you could simply run my program and test it on your system, I would be much abliged.

Thanks,

Arch nemesis ...Wheaton! ! ! ! , oh wait....... Windows!!! Yea windows gradually caches up errors and visually continues to run but the more time that goes by without a reboot the greater the risk. Try Avg some swear by it if you don't want to give a antivirus company your hard earned money.

I don't use any anti virus... But then again I only have like 4 programs installed. I find windows works best without any "helping utilities" that claim to make it better I also reboot every day.

The apps I have installed are pretty basic: Visual studio Melabs programmer Picc compiler Altuim pcb designer Ms office Adobe photoshop Adobe premiere Tight vnc Saleae llc logic analyzer And for watching movies I have shark007 codec pack

Lol pretty basic install!

Dunno what else you'd need when u build robotssssssssssssssssss

Not to jump on a soapbox, but I find required daily reboots to be a sign of unstable hardware or overheating. My desktop (which is 5yrs old) regularly runs 2-4 weeks straight between reboots & I hammer on it daily (as I type, the taskbar has 41 items on it), & it's running XP Pro! Half the time I only reboot cause of a software install or update. The secret is build it yourself with parts you've well researched as good/stable parts (system OEMs just don't care if there machines are that stable), insure it has great air flow to the right spots (modding the case if needed, I added a top exhaust fan port & fans in the side door blowing fresh air directly at the CPU & vid card, in addition to its factory front intake & rear + PSU exhausts, all 120mm fans with filters on the 3 intakes) then torture test the heck out of it with Prime 95 while watching the temperatures & voltages (I run this for 24hrs minimum). On this build, the video card later failed & some of the PSU voltages were eventually discovered to be off nominal and were replaced with better parts.

Well, guys, Thanks for suggesting the virus scan. I had 12 Infections and it took the scanner 6 hours to find them. They are all gone now. But, my program is still doing the same thing. My computer is realatively brand new and has never had these type of problems before.

Hello I was having the same problem with my copy of ARC the way i fixed it was i put i copy of all the ARC files in to my ARC folder under my documents in where ARC saves the your projects as it seems to look for the program files in the same folder that the project file you are running is in if that makes any sents
