Re: st: Win XP and Stata--was Stata for windows

[Elizabeth Allred <lizard@hsph.harvard.edu>]

Yes, indeed, Windows is just not going to go away. I started my computer 
career on IBM mainframes and then UNIX machines. Dealt with DOS and live 
with Windows. You just get used to what you've got.

That being said...on to the Win XP problem mentioned a few weeks ago. To 
quote Ben Jann: "The problem is as follows: Sometimes, Stata cannot be 
started up. To be precise, Stata actually starts up (i.e. wsestata.exe 
is listed under "Processes" in windows task manager and windows cannot 
be shut down before wsestata.exe is terminated manually) but no Stata 
windows  appear..."

Any ideas/solutions for this out there. Some days I have to reboot 3 or 
4 times before I can get Stata to start up correctly.
