TestStand hangs and closes the sequence editor whenever I try to access Help.

[Sud]

I'm having trouble whenever I try to access TestStand Help... in the help menu, the "contents" and "search" tabs work fine, but the "index" tab is the one that is giving an error... when clicked, it gives the following error and closes the application.

"AppName: seqedit.exe AppVer: 3.5.0.725 ModName: itircl.dll

ModVer: 5.2.3790.80 Offset: 0000800a"

Can anyone identify the cause for the problem?

Hi Sud:

The problem you are seeing seems more of a windows error and not a TestStand one. Please see the following instructions that might help you:

To resolve this problem follow the commands listed below to register the file itircl.dll:

• Open up a DOS Window by going to Start --> Run.
• Type cmd in the text window.
• Type: cd c:\winnt\system32
• Register itircl.dll by typing: regsvr32 itircl.dll

Thank you

thank you Nandini...

I noticed that the problem was with my Windows OS...

TestStand works fine. I tried to register itircl.dll by following your instructions.

but it has not helped... I'll try to get the Service pack for winXP upgraded.

cheers, Sudarshan.
