FINAL SOLUTION! Re: why has octave started closing the second octave's window opens? |

Everything works perfectly again.
Install octave and TAKE YOUR TIME!!! Even though the screen says install is
finished and I exited; octave was NOT finished installing. There is a DOS
window that opens and needs to have answers to paths and editors and such, no
biggie just have to take one's time to be sure when it says it's done, it IS
done.
After installing PROPERLY and disabling KernelEx; octave 2.1.50a is working as
it was before.
Now with KernelEx running I can 'spoof' websites into thinking I have a later
version of Windows running, so I can gain access to images I have always been
able to view, until the software people put a wedge in there to check if my
system is new or not -- nothing to do with viewability of the images!
So culmination for any interested people:
Take time to install and octave works great on a Win98 system that has KernelEx
installed [which makes the Win98 system look like WinXP from the outside, and
can actually run latest Flash and latest Java]
Regards,
Robert

octave 2.1.50a was installed using the 7MB binary.
To run octave, I double click the icon on the Desktop.
I tried going directly to the folder and running there, but the same sequence.
It looks like it opens the window, then octave is closed by some automatic
process.
However, could be an unreported crash error as octave tries to do something and
kernelex interferes.
Uninstalling kernelex requires special steps, not the normal uninstall, so have
to trace through very carefully.
ARRRGGGG!!!
This time the icon on the Desktop properties came up with a third and new tag
on it 'kernelex' !!!
Selecting disable kernelex I can run octave!
the window stays open and works, however there is now no history to refer to
old lines and randn() is not found. But at least I'm off on the right path!

As of Octave 3.0, compatibility with Matlab was adopted, and backward
compatibility with Octave 2.x was dropped.
No one on this list will be able to duplicate your problem.
You've mentioned a sequence of events that resulted in your Octave 2.1.50
crashing. I recommend you reverse those one at a time until you can isolate the
problem. My guess is that you've updated a library that Octave links to and
that that library is not backward compatible.
Just to be sure the problem isn't something trivial, what do you do to run
Octave ?
