"Sight" Survey   (SS02)

Sharing Violation errors

If "Sight" Survey issues a Sharing Violation error when it first attempts to load into memory, it is most likely because neither the DOS SHARE.EXE or Windows VSHARE is loaded into memory. If you allowed "Sight" Survey's Setup program to install the VShare device, you simply need to restart your computer for VShare to be loaded into memory, then restart "Sight" Survey. If you did not allow "Sight" Survey to install VShare, you will either need to install it manually or re-install "Sight" Survey and allow it to load the VShare statement for you.

To install VShare manually, you must edit the Windows SYSTEM.INI configuration file located in the Windows directory. To edit the SYSTEM.INI file, click Start, select Run, type SYSTEM.INI and press Enter

The file should open up in the Windows Notepad or WordPad editor. Under the [386Enh] section, add the following line: DEVICE=VSHARE.386  Save the changes, exit, and restart Windows. You should now be able to run "Sight" Survey. 

Note:  File Save errors may be caused by a sharing violation

A sharing violation may also cause "Sight" Survey to abort a file save operation.  If you are performing a file save, and the program gets to 70% and then locks up or otherwise stops, follow the above instructions to install VShare manually.
