I have just downloaded MLwiN 2.23, however when I use one of the LEMMA worksheets to for instance make a graph the programme gives the following error:
Run time error '-2147417848 (80010108)':
Automation error
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.

It does first come up with the graph, but the programme then comes up with the error and shuts down. It does this for instance when following the instructions on page 7 of practicals (make a histogram) for module 3 using worksheet 3.1, but the same happens when using another of the worksheets.

I have removed and reinstalled the programme, but that has not made any difference. My laptop runs Windows XP and should therefore be compatible.

Any thoughts on why this may be, and what I can do about it?

With thanks ,

Unfortunately I don't know exactly what is causing this problem as it is occurring in the graph component, which is provided by a third party. It may be that this component is conflicting with something else installed on your computer, but this would be hard to track down. One thing to try would be to start MLwiN as an administrative user to see if the problem occurs there too.
