Quindos 6 crashing

Does anyone know why Quindos is crashing? When in a program. Qounidos will just closes.Confused
  • Quindos6 may be 'crashing' because of an incompatibility with the computer/hardware/OS. Most likely the version of Quindos you are using pre-dates the computer you now have. (Use the command VERSION to see what version of Quindos6 you have. You will be show a string like 'QUINDOS V 6.00.3324' where the last 4 digits denote the year and day of the year. The example shown indicates the 324th day of 2003.)

    Older versions of Quindos6 are not compatible with new hardware/OS options like hyperthreading or dual core processors. Your options are 1) to update to a newer version of Quindos6, or 2) better yet, to upgrade to Quindos7 or 3) disable OS features such as hyperthreading.

    This may not be you case, but with limited infromation from the posting, I can not tell for certain, so I can only reply with a likely cause. Either please explain more (when does it 'crash', what version of Quindos6 are you using,...) or contact me (and please leave your name wth your number).

  • This is the verizon we have QUINDOS-V 6.00.3324.
  • That does explain alot. We just upgrade to a new computer for PC-Dmis.
  • Since you upgraded the computer, without upgrading Quindos, then yes your problem is that the 'old' version of Quindos6 is not compatible with the 'new' hardware. (And how could it be. Your version of Quindos6 was written back in 2003, before hyperthreading or dual core processors were offered as standard with our machines.)

    Again, either update the version of Quindos6, or upgrade to Quindos7.
