However, if you can remember or have seen it elsewhere - did/do tote prices for the same horse show different on different Analysis screens? Ted

Secondly, migrating to 64-bit is a good idea. Some users will have to upgrade their computers but it's time. Chip manufacturers stopped making 32-bit processors a decade ago. If they want to run their old Sartin programs, which I'm sure are 16-bit, there are several ways of doing that, e.g. dual-boot into a 32-bit version of Windows or use VirtualBox and run a 32-bit Windows in a virtual environment. And thirdly, I have given thought to the cause of the RDSS lockups, some of which I've shared with you in PMs and emails. I have an HP Workstation running 32 GB of RAM. It's a beast and nothing should crash it with that much working memory. While I am not familiar with PowerBuilder, having never programmed with it, my guess is that upon startup, RDSS is asking the OS for a certain amount of memory to work with and then two things are happening: (1) after it's completed a task, e.g. assembling a card, RDSS is not releasing the memory it used and is no longer using (i.e. the infamous memory leak) and (2) it's not requesting more memory. By starting multiple instances of RDSS, more memory is being requested by each instance and the result is no crashes. Years ago, when I was working on a computer science degree (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth with flip phones), I wrote rather modest programs in an early version of C++ and they would crash everything, including the OS. Remember the Windows "blue screen of death"? The old C++ was the worst when it came to memory leaks. Well, those are my ruminations before a second cup of coffee, for what they're worth. I appreciate all the thought and effort you put into RDSS. |

When I tried to open RDSS today, I got the following message.
Database error code -1 Has anyone else had this problem? Rmath |

Is this related to any change you made to the location of your database? Per this long-standing FAQ: http://paceandcap.com/forums/showpos...59&postcount=8 If not - try uninstalling RDSS2.1 then reinstalling. Something about how RDSS is attempting to access the database it was instructed to is not working, or the database became corrupt (which would be the first time I can ever remember such a thing happening ...). Ted (I moved this post from the original thread, as it's not related to that major one-day event related to the old Supertote, from earlier this month .)

PL problem?
Today I downloaded aqu. I ran profitline on the entire card and then assembled the entire card. I could not connect with the toteboard. Had to download file again and go race by race to be able to connect to the toteboard.

You could not connect with the tote board, but then you were able to connect to the toteboard race by race. What is is you were trying to do, or thought you ought to be able to do, which you could not do? Could you please try restating this report another way? For example (just guessing): after the last race is Official (say in the evening), I often retrieve PL and Mutuels for the card, then Assemble ALL races, which process fetches Scratches all races, closing tote odds and Mutuel prices all races, assembles all races and chooses auto-pacelines - so I can review how well Rx did in conjunction with tote odds and ratios relative to payouts. Were you trying to achieve anything remotely like that? Something different? Ted

okay, I will try to be more coherent. About 15 minutes to the first post yesterday, I downloaded the AQU card. I used Profit Line first and got the little red dots on all the races. I then assembled all the races. I then opened up the first race and It would not connect to the toteboard. Eventually, I cleared the cache and started over, this time doing PL and Assemble one race at a time and everything worked fine. I hope this clarifies this enough so you can understand what I did and what the problem was.
