I hope someone is more familiar with this program than I myself am.
When running the MSD Chemstation version E.02.00.493, upon selection of a peak and double right clicking to view the mass spectrum, I then try to run a NIST MS Search to identify the compound.
Normally MSD chemstation would load the NIST MS Search 2.0 D program automatically and complete the search. However instead I receive an error message of: Program launch failed: nist$.exe/v15/instrument.
If I open the search application manually, the spectrum is forwarded, and searched for, but it won't run automatically when I perform the search, does anyone have a clue on how I can solve this issue?

It sounds like you have a corrupt file somewhere. Has it always done this, or did it just start?

thank you for your help. the solution was just a simple reinstall.
