route viewer

hi guy's. route viewer has started to show error not responding, but then it will load anyway, have tried different versions but all the same. any ideas why this is happening am using windows 7.cheers jack

You obviously didn't get an answer for this Jack. If you still have a 'not responding' error, I have to ask if you have a lot of other programs loaded in memory on your PC?

Route viewer is hungry for memory space to load the route, and uses quite a lot if the route is large, (obviously). The problem with Route viewer is that it isn't very good at tidying up when you ask for a refresh/reload of the route. It does not always hand back what memory it was using to the free space list, and so gradually the amount of free memory space gets smaller until it cannot find space enough to load anything. It slows up more and more every time you reload a route, and that is when you see this 'not responding' message. The only way to clear it is to quit the program and start afresh. If you have a lot of other programs running re-start Windows, and just load Route viewer.

hi call2. thanks for reply. have messed about and put in another version which i think is a bit older, not got the not responding message again but is still slow, i have decided to live with it and not much hair left now lol. thanks for your help jack
