PE Lambda 25 with WinLab Software
Greetings,
We have a PE Lambda 25 UV-Vis spectrometer runnning with WinLab software. We were running this on Windowd NT. Unfortunately the software password on this machine was compromised and we lost admin access on this machine (We tried running in safe mode).
We uploaded the software to a new computer running XP. We set the method according to the WinLab operators manual. We are able to log in to the software, do an autozer and MAYBE one sample run before the software freezes up and we get an error message. The error message reads that the server is busy .
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thank you so much for your response.
We are using version 5.1.4 ca 2004
Reply byThanks. ver 5 has a user database that could be reset which would possibly have helped on your first pc. A blank database could be activated. All this is difficult to describe on a thread. The database should be able to be found if you show hidden files and folders, then search for a file "user.mdb".
As far as your newer pic, I am not sure. If you could answer my other questions, it may help. But as the software has been in use for so long, it can't be a software issue, but suspect a pc problem.
I hope some of this helps, but I could help remotely if it's possible.
