Chromatography Forum

I get the following error when I try to print:

"Error 16178 occurred in Command Draw in macro DrawChromReg at line 452 in file C:\HPCHEM\CORE\SIGMA.MCX: [Graphics-Window]: could not create window."

No chromatogram is visible.

Also, I get a PRINT 300 error when trying to print.

Any ideas?

Have you tried to restart ChemStation? Reinstall?
Is your problem joined with one data file or file independent?

I restarted everything - system, printer, computer - and the problem resolved.

Thanks!

90 percent of all problems with Chemstation can be solved with restart of computer (and instrument). When problem persists, try to create new method from default. During my analytical career I saw several problems with corrupted ChS files which were identified with Installation Qualification tool. But sometimes only reinstall helps.
