[Dr.Wael Deeb]

Hi Jim,
It won't fire up under the Arena GUI
I use the following command line:

-n -X -H 512

Here's what it shows:

Hi Doc,

'ipc-daemon2.exe' needs to be running/resident in memory so double-click it first. If you take a look at the batch files I did for v3.7
you should be able to get the engine running automatically in Arena from a bat file.

Jim.

Did you start the shared memory daemon called ipc-daemon2.exe
?
