Re: Shared memory not initialized...

Thanks, I'll look into the config... But in defense of W2K, it works great, as long as you don't attempt to use it for anything that could be considered useful.

Nope, everything appears to be set up correctly. INFORMIXDIR=d:\\informix INFORMIXSERVER=ol_aries ONCONFIG=ONCONFIG.ol_aries PATH=d:\\informix\\bin;%PATH% INFORMIXSQLHOSTS=\\\\ARIESDBTEMP=d:\\informix\\infxtmp CLIENT_LOCALE=EN_US.CP1252 DB_LOCALE=EN_US.8859-1SERVER_LOCALE=EN_US.CP1252 DBLANG=EN_US.CP1252 mode con codepage select=1252 This is from the ol_aries.cmd file, and I've check the actual environment variables and they all match. Informix does appear to be taking up the memory, but I just can't get to it. I can't do a backup either, which means the database gets locked up after a few minutes. Whatever it is, it's REALLY starting to piss me off. Daniel Marshall wrote: > Thanks, I'll look into the config...
