Thanks for your response. Among the many errors that I get are : (see end of email). (this one opens in a separate message window and casts a doubt on the validity of all other messages - I am not using any graphics, just a complicated (extremely) function which is integrated over three variables and summed over the fourth). These errors do not occur over the Linux systems on which the same version of Mathematica is installed. Other ununderstandable errors are : HoldBoxes[MakeBoxes[.........]]]]]]]] kind. Second - could you suggest a way in which I could do an integration using a Monte Carlo technique in Mathematica ? I have read the Mathematica book and that seems to indicate the option MaxPoints, but even on trying it with an abnormally low setting of MaxPoints with this complicated function on my Linux systems, the calculation seems to take as long. What is more, the difference between the Monte Carlo result and the adaptive recursive algorithm used by default is zero :-) The relvant statements are : value:=Sum[Integrate[....,{},{},{}],{}]; Print[value/.(MaxPoints->200)]; What is going on ? Thanks again :-) Madhusudan Singh. PS : I have mailed it to support at wolfram.com as well. ----------------------------------------------------- Front End Message (12:57:24 on 6/16/0) Mathematica has detected a possible internal error.
