What are the hardware/software spec required to run MeV?
A. Supported Platforms: PC, Unix, Mac. Operating Systems: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Linux, Solaris, Mac-OS10.x. Processor Speed: >500MB suggested for best performance speed. Memory: 256MB minimum, 512MB or more improves performance. Q. When loading .mev and annotation files, the progress bar stalls. The black console window shows the error java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException. A. Try checking the “Remove Annotation Quotes” box in the mev file loader. This option will remove any quotation marks that may have been added to your mev file by a certain popular spreadsheet program. These quotation marks can cause problems in MeV. If your version of MeV doesn’t have this option, either upgrade to version 3.0 or higher, or edit your annotation file so that it contains no quotation marks in the Date field at the top. You will not be able to see these quotes if you open the file in the aforementioned spreadsheet program – use a text editor like Wordpad or Simpletext instead.
