Hi, I'm a Ph.D student in Economics at the New School for Social Research in NY City. I recently bought a student version of Mathematica (for windows)to simulate some "replicator equations" which are at the heart of my dissertation, entitled "A stochastic model of technical change". I have a 486 dx 4-75 notebook computer with 520 mb harddrive and 8mb Ram. I allocated 30mb of virtual memory. I thought this would be enough!! But it appears not to be. Every time that I try to solve a system of about 30 differential equations Mathematica responds with the following message: "Application Error, Math caused a general protection fault in module mcomm.dll" It does not give me this message when I solve the same system at a smaller dimension. I was wondering if you think that the problem is that I do not have enough memory, or simply that something went wrong with my version of Mathematica? Have you ever heard of that message appearing in other situations? What is mcomm.dll? Thank you for your time. Mariana Mazzucato T
