Hey i found a "workaround"!!!! its a little sh..ty, but for me its ok.. i installed both, mathematica 4.2,and 4.1 to different folders!! then i copied the whole documentation folder from 4.1 to 4.2, first renameming 4.2 docfolder to anything.. if you start 4.2, and generate the help index, you have the old documentation, but everything else is working just fine :):) nice greetings, people from Wolfram, finding out what subfile in documentation causes the crash is YOUR work, not mine!!!! bernhard Bernhard wrote: > Hi, > i have the exactly same problem. > i tried re-rename my admin-accoutn back to "Administrator", since i > changed it once to my real name. no effect... > I have Win2k, 512MB ram, 8 gb free disk space, > sp3! > Nvida geforce mx 440, and athlon xp 2000+ > soundblaster live value, asus a7m266. > realtek network card, 10 mbit > > i had mathematica 4.1 installed, deinstalled, installed 4.2 > it crashed saying it coulnd create start menu entry. > i didnt care, and made one myself, to problem.... > > there seem to be quite a few people out there who have this problem.: > > a guy posted something in year 2002 already.. > found it on them mathgroup forums on wolfram page > aswell in this forum: by Eri 08.02.2003 > > so somebody, please solve it!!!! > maybe people who have the same prob, please give their hardware/software > description, maybe it only occures on athlon or something?? > > So lets find out!! > cause i really enjoy the faster File Import, that's a great thing!! > > > Bernhard > > > Fred Fred wrote: > >>Hi, >> >>I'm running Mathematica 4.2 (Win2k, 2GB RAM,2GB swap >>file, sp3, administrator's rights) and I'm unable to >>build the help browser; Mathematica freezes and never >>ends, I have to kill the task.
