program clash while running program

[evs123]

Hello,
I was running a program at home. At half way through, a Microsoft window error message pops up. It's really strange in that I ran the exactly the same program at office (running off Eviews 7.1 enterprise), and there was no problem. I don't understand why such error message would come up just because I was running Eviews 7.1 at home.

here are the window error messages (some usual words when program stops working)

"Eviews has stopped working
->check online for a solution
-> close the program"

Problem signature:

Can someone please help? Much appreciated.

While not an explanation, have you updated EViews with the most recent updates?

[evs123]

Thanks Startz.

Yes, I updated Eviews frequently whenever patches are releases. In fact, I just updated my Eviews to 10 minutes ago, before that clash problem occurred.

I also tried inserting "stop" at different places in the program to track down which command was causing the problem. I found that Eviews stopped working (pop up that error message) at the last line below (generating residual series). If I have that stop command in between lines like below. Everything is fine, Eviews works through until that equation command line without problem. But if I take out that stop command, Eviews just clashed. It seems to me that the last line of generating residual series must be causing the problem.

.....
equation eqLR1.ls lrentn=CLR1(1)+ CLR1(2)*lhp+ CLR1(3)*r
stop
eqLR1.makeresids ecta

What you're doing looks right to me...I guess an official answer is needed. If you can, post your workfile together with the program that dies for the EViews folks to look at.

Exactly as Startz says - could you post the workfile and the program that causes the crash?

[evs123]

Here are the codes which caused crash. As you can see, I have "stop" in between the last and 2nd last lines. In this case, the file works without crash. Once I remove "stop", the file just crashed. Help!!!
