Error when running heteroscedasticity testing for VECM

I am attempting to run the white heteroskedacity test under residual tests for a Vector Error Correction Model and constantly get Positive or non-negative argument to function expected when I attempt to do so.


What could be the reason for this?
Any Advice?

Could you provide the workfile? Also version and build date of your copy of EViews (Help->About EViews)

Ohh Gareth, before you go.
Do you think that this would be an issue due to a bug in the software
or
would it be due to my dataset?

Do you think the fact that I used so many variables is an issue in causing this?

The error is because of too many variables/too few observations. We should probably have a better error.
