Hy!

I am using Compaq Visual Fortran (latest version).

When I am running QuickWin application with

PGPLOT graphic library, I am getting this

Error message:

Internal error - unexpected error

file "E:forrtluildqwnbuildqwgswc.c", line 990

When I press OK button, program normaly continuoes

withno errors.

Thanks!

Robert.

Do you have a dual-processor system, or perhaps a HyperThread enabled processor? We have seen this error reported on some DP systems, and don't know what causes it.

A workaround is to add a call to SLEEPQQ for half a second at the beginning of the program.

Hi,

Several of our users havecomplained of this error (line 1051 though, not line 990) and the common factor seems to be windows xp - none of them have had a dual processor pc. Is it possible the operating system could be the cause of the problem?

Putting'call sleepqq(500)' at the beginning of the program does seem to have solved the problem though.

Might these systems have an Intel Pentium 4 processor with Hyper Threading Technology? That could do the same thing.

I am seeing the same error on a Windows 2000 machine, but sleepqq(500) doesn't solve it. This shows line 637 and if I continue with OK, line 636. My machine has an Intel Pentium 4 processor. 3/31/05

just in case somebody gets this error:

file "E:forrtluildqwnbuildqwkinit.c", line 289

it can be corrected by setting InitialSettings = .TRUE. (not "bret" or other logical variable u have). I thought of sharing ...
