This issue was brought up last year on ha-Safran. Apprarently, EJ has a problem running on systems with more than 512MB of RAM. The problem can be fixed by adding a Windows registry entry that instructs Windows to limit the resources available to the EJ while allowing full resources to be available to all other programs. I've included in my message a copy of the message from last year that contained the solution:
---------- Thanks to Mr. Yehoshua Israel the director of IS at Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies we now have a solution for run time error 2004. This is a problem which we did not succeed to solve properly for a long time. In our previous solution it was necessary to limit the resources of the system in purpose to use the Enc. Judaica CD-ROM which was crashing when a computer system has more than 512MB of RAM. In the new solution you just instruct the system to limit the resources available for the Enc. Judaica program without affecting the rest of the system. So here it is: If you are using Windows NT / Windows 2000 / Windows XP Copy the entire text in the following black lines into a text file and name the file with a .reg extention. Then double click the file to add the registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Compatibility\Applications\JUDAI32] "flags"=dword:0000080c [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Compatibility32\Applications\JUDAI32] "flags"=dword:0000080c Only if you are running the product on a Windows 2000 terminal server you need instead of above lines to copy the following black lines into a text file and name the file with a .reg extention. Then double click the file to add the registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Compatibility\Applications\JUDAI32] "flags"=dword:0000080c Thanks and I welcome your response, Moshe Heller Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the AJL =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
