Dear Baskar: Try this on command prompt (run in start menu): c:\fluent.inc\ntbin\ntx86\gambit.exe [filename] sample c:\fluent.inc\ntbin\ntx86\gambit.exe newfile

the same thing happened to me. for the first few times as soon as the error message came up i tried restarting gambit. however, my machine takes about a full minute for gambit to open up so maybe try closing the error window and then just leaving the computer alone for 2-3 minutes. it worked for me.

Re: gambit installation
 

The way to open gambit, at least on a windows based machine anyway, is to click on the gambit.exe file in c:\fluent.inc\ntbin\ntx86\ folder as suggested.

As far as I know it is because Gambit is run from a dos prompt hence the need for Exceed.

This is the way I use Gambit. In fact if you create a shortcut to this file on your desktop or in the start menu this will also work.

Good luck Chris

Wierd! If Fluent really wishes to support Windows, it should put in extra effort to code gambit in VC++ and avoid all this X-Server emulation stuff or else simply accept that *nix systems are way better and support them properly. Learning to work with *nix systems is NOT a nightmare. The X window System these days when used with a nice DE such as GNOME can make life a lot more comfortable.

Lazy, that's what they are :X
