[Scilab-users] Scilab/xcos 5.5.1 not working with Win XP

[John Pote]

Hi everyone,

I have installed Scilab 5.5.1 on my Windows XP box. Initially I had 
trouble starting it up because Normaliz.dll could not be found. A copy 
of this dll is now installed on the computer and Sci lab starts up as 
normal.

However, although xcos starts ok it does not run. I can drag some 
functional blocks from the pallet to the design window and connect them 
together. But when I run the simulation a graphics window opens but does 
not render properly. Some of the original window remains visible at the 
bottom edge of the graphics window. No graphs are drawn and the 'run' 
does not end. Anyone any ideas how to fix this problem?

PC: Win XP Professional with service pack 3 (32 bit). 4 GB RAM. Dual 
screen operation on an ATI Radeon graphics card.

Any help appreciated as will not be able to use xcos until this problem 
solved.

John
