S1PXRF software/computer compatibility problem

[TSmith]

Hi folks,

I think I have a computer/software compatibility problem. Harvard doesn't support the operating system of the HP laptop that came from Bruker with our analyzer (Windows Vista). I would ideally like to run the S1PXRF software on a computer connected to our intranet that gets regular backups, but I can't connect this HP laptop because Vista isn't supported. They are willing to install Harvard's security protocols, but they have to strip it down and reinstall everything. I'm ok with that if I can run the software on another laptop as a backup, but I haven't been able to do this successfully.

I installed the new SPX1 software on my Dell laptop (running Windows XP Professional), but I keep getting an error message when I try to set up and run the analyzer. When I click on the red button to turn it green I get this message.
"Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set"
When I hit the OK button, the program closes.

Any suggestions? Is it that our operating system is just too old?

Did you download the latest version from the bruker-axs web site?  That's. Solved the issue for me. I run the unit on three different computers.  Good luck
