Re: QCurve did not return a valid curve at quadprofile.pl 184

2009-11-12 by purduephotog

Are there any dependencies, such as dlls or other unique programs, that might start causing QTR to behave badly?

I even tried disabling all processors but 1 (I'm on a quad) to see if that would prevent the error messages.

If I open any QIDF, from any folder, and hit 'show curve' I get variations on the same error.  Sometimes it's qdotgain, sometimes it's qcurve, line 81 or l84.

Fresh install?  Yup.  4x.
