st: factormat STATA 10

Hi,
This is regarding factormat. I have an 88 by 88 co-variance matrix. In the 
n(#) I input n(4) as I have a panel of 88 firms and 4 years. I get the 
error message about too few observations.
Is there anything I can do to get STATA to perform the factor analysis? If 
not, can someone point out exactly where STATA fails (e.g. is there a 
matrix that it cannot invert) so that I can figure a way around it. I went 
to the Stata 10 manual and it did not have any formulas for factor mat.
Thanks,
