I have come across one case that the ! character in the username has caused this problem. I haven't tried to see all the characters that could cause this. The change to the temporary variable (or using another login without this character) will allow you to install and upgrade. Good luck. Scott

Does your Windows username contain any Non-English unicode characters? I have seen some cases when this has caused some problems with the InstallAnywhere script. One solution to this is to go to your Control Panel>System and change the temp Environment variable (directory) from the temp directory in the user directory (that has that Non-English character) to a location that isn't in that directory. For example if you change the location to C:\Temp. This should solve your installation problem and allow Maple to install. Since this is an InstallAnywhere problem, you can choose to change this back after you have installed Maple and updated it to 10.06. On my copy of Windows the Environment Variables are located at Control Panel>System>Advanced (tab)>Environment Variables (button). Scott

You can get the tilde not to show up either by going into the Tools>Options to turn it off (under the display tab for Assumed Variables) or running the following line: >interface(showassumed=0); Scott

The different guides are useful depending on what sort of topics you are looking for. The "User manual" is there to show you some of the main points that is available with the new interface as well as a general overview of Maple. The two programming guides help in showing some methods in creating some libraries, maplets, and programming methods. There is a brief description of the manuals found here (http://www.maplesoft.com/products/maple/manuals/). You can find the "User manual" in the help pages of Maple 10. If you have a membership for the maplesoft.com website, you can find a pdf of the manuals here (http://www.maplesoft.com/documentation%5Fcenter/). Scott

Hi AnaCoN, You likely finding the java issue when you have 1GB or more of RAM. What you have to do is to open the launch.ini file that is found in the bin.win folder. Go to the end of the file and add the following line: maxheap=700m Make sure you enter that line exactly without any capitals and no spaces. If the 700m doesn't work, please try setting the maxheap to 650m. This should set a limit for Java for the user interface and fix this issue. Scott

What the Help>About Maple is indicating is that you are using Maple 10.00 and not one of the installations that is updated to 10.04. You should be able to download than apply the update if you go to the following site on our website (http://www.maplesoft.com/support/downloads/index.aspx). I would suggest applying the update as well as going into Tools>Options and unchecking the "AutoSave" feature. If this doesn't work, could you let us know if there is any error message or are you getting error files (files with the name starting with hs_err) in the Maple 10 directory? Scott

Hi fabienc, If you open a terminal window and run 'ifconfig -a' does the output indicate that you have an ethernet card at et0 or is it set to eth and another number? Depending on the system you may need to call '/sbin/ifconfig -a' if the ifconfig doesn't work. Could you also go into the \bin.IBM_INTEL_LINUX\ and check the file permissions for the lmutil file. The file should be set that you are allowed to execute it. Scott

That (1.1) that you found in that manual is an example of a Label. This can be added to your input by clicking Ctrl+L, you will then need to put the number in (in this case you enter 1.1, not the brackets) and click OK. Alternatively you can also go to Insert> Label to get the box also. Scott Maplesoft Technical Support

It appears that the cause of the problem is when you combine the plot with the different upper limit (and the one with the dashes is the smaller plot). It is likely due to plot g with the dashes gets shrunk making the spaces between the dashes almost gone. Try changing your code to something like the following: f:=plot(x,x=0..4): g:=plot([3,y,y=-4..4],linestyle=DASH): plots[display](f,g); This would also make the combined plot look a bit nicer with plot g not ending so soon.

Can you open up a terminal window and run java -version It is likely that you have the new Java 1.5 that Apple offers with OSX 10.4 If you do find that the Java version is 1.5 (or 5.0) could you try the suggestion found here (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303526) to tell the MAC OS to use Java 1.4.

Another suggestion that will allow you to get an answer to 2 decimal points here but without changing the Digits variable (which will also reduce the number of digits used when solving your equation) is to use the evalf[3](...) function. You can try something like the following: evalf[3](solve({1.11*x-2.13*y+1.14*z = 1.23, .32*x+1.44*y+3.02*z = 4.10, 1.27*x-1.14*y+2.54*z = 5.67}, [x, y, z])); This also allows you to have this answer to 2 decimal places without changing the resposes for the rest of Worksheet.
