E-DataAid crashing

[Michiel Spape]

Hiya,
I always found E-DataAid to be exceptionally stable. Also, I'd be amazed if updating to any other E-Prime version will do anything - as far as I can see, the only thing that's different between 2.0x and EP1 in terms of e-dataAid is that it saves the same files with an added 2. These can be interchangeably opened, so one wonders what the great use of the 2 in the name is, there. 

My immediate thought would be there's something either wrong with your e-dataAid install (so reinstall), or the data-files themselves. I think the first step the people over at PST will want to sort out is whether there's a problem with your E-DataAid (presumably with its install then, perhaps missing .net components or whatnot), or whether your data-files are somehow corrupted. Have you checked yet whether anyone else can open them? Have you tried re-making the .edat files with E-Recovery? When exactly does E-DataAid crash anyway (during opening of files, during some analysis, &c.)?

As a side note, does anyone else think e-Prime should, in this i-Age, change the name? I'm personally of the opinion that Me-Prime sounds better (although perhaps a bit too late, as YouTube, MySpace and YouGov have all lost that glossiness... Gee-Prime and /i/-Prime will probably end up to be rather costly).
Best,
Mich

Hi David,

I sent PST a support request but I was hoping one of you E-Prime gurus
here had some insight so I don't have to wait two weeks for a reply
(not meant as a dis to PST, just impatient).

Also, thanks for the heads up concerning .90.
