Hello everybody,

I have installed VStar, the newest version, since it featured period and frecuency error calculations according to Foster 2010. After installation it ran very well, but I have been trying to launch it again and simply is not doing a thing.

Does anyone have the same problem? Can someone tell me how to solve this issue? I will appreciate very much.

Clear skies!

Load problem

Hi Enrique

Sorry for the delay in replying.

If you installed VStar via the Windows installer, could you run it in debug mode as described here and tell us what you see?

VStar in debug mode

Hello David,

Now forgive me for the late reply. I ran VStar from the Windows menu, on Debug Mode (from the VStar group), but no error showed up and I could use VStar normally. After that, I started VStar normally and there was no problem at all. What I think is that when VStar was not loading, the memory allocation error might be causing this malfunction as described in the github link you have shared with us, but I am not sure if this was the problem.

Thanks for the assistance, David!

Clear and dark skies!
