x64 Operating System

[dmw123]

Is anyone using PTree with the Windows x64 operating system? I am using it in a multi-user environment and have a small problem. After calling PTree they said x64 was not supported. Lots of help.
When I first start my computer and then start PTree it hangs up. This will happen the first 2 or 3 times I try to start it, then suddenly it will start. However it thinks there are other users logged on so I can not perform any single user functions, like changing the accounting period. Does anyone have a fix for this?

The primary cause of file locks failing to be released in a multi-user or network environment is due to Windows Write Caching feature. Disable Write Caching on all local drives. Further, check and increase the FILE statement in the Windows CONFIG.NT file.

Right click on My Computer, select Properties, Hardware, Device Manager, Disk Drives. right click on disk drive and select properties an then POLIICES in the case of Win XP. Remove the check mark on the third section labeled "Enable Write Caching ..".

Go to START, RUN and type CONFIG.NT. Open this file using Notepad if prompted. Go to the last line which will read FILES = 40. Change this value to read FILES = 199 on workstations, and FILES = 250 on the Server or Host computer.
