Using Eviews 8 with Parallel and Yosemite

Postby Ale_lanza » Sat Nov 15, 2014 7:12 am

I've been using Eviews 8 with Parallel and Maverick for a long time.
Three weeks ago I installed Yosemite instead of Maverick and I have lots of problems running Eviews.
I anyone sharing this awful experience?

My configuration is:
Yosemite
Parallel 10
Windows 7
Eviews 8.1

It seems to me that there is not a regular pattern for this error. I can open and work with work files and programs. Sometime when I close work files, or run one equation or in other situation I could not describe since there is a regularity of the error, the page became gray with a small yellow triangle on top left and the computer basically stops. The only to start again is to make "Force Quit".
As far as I remember I did not have this error before Yosemite but downgrading the operating system should be pretty inefficient and not very easy.
Thanks

Try uninstalling and reinstalling EViews. It is very possible that upgrading your OS removed some files that EViews is dependent on.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled EViews. The problem is still there. I should probably (re)install the previous
operating system (Maverik), disinstalling Yosemite.
It is a long process and I would really to take advantage of Yosemite using Parallel and Eviews 8.1
I do not think id a problem between Parallel and Yosemite but rather between Eviews and
Parallel/Yosemite. I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter

When you used Mavericks, did you use Parallels 9 or 10?

Is your copy of Parallels up to date as well?

"When you used Mavericks, did you use Parallels 9 or 10?"

Not sure. Probably Parallels 9 but I might try to understand checking my Visa (i.e. when I updated the computer)

"Is your copy of Parallels up to date as well?"

Oh YES.

I am so depressed..

Based on what you have said, this sounds more like a problem with Parallels. I would contact them.

See http://kb.parallels.com/en/121895 and http://kb.parallels.com/en/122647

Although they say you do not need to recreate a new virtual machine, I would create a new one using Paralells 10 on Yosemite.
