2773.0. "Can't start FILEVIEW from the Session Window" by NAC::R_POIRIER () Wed May 16 1990 15:14

    I have a problem when trying to start FILEVIEW from my session manager
    window.  When I select CREATE FILEVIEW WINDOW the session window
    displays "Starting FileView".  A few seconds later I get the following
    message:

              FileView stopped : no condition handler found.

    I've had this problem since I installed VMS 5.2 on my VAXstation 3100.
    (approximately 6 months ago!)

    I can get FILEVIEW to work by spawning DECW$STARTVUE.COM from DCL.

    However, I have been having some flaky problems with my windows and
    do not trust that my work around is safe.

    I would like this issue ASAP since it is driving me CRAZY!

    Help?

2773.1Check login files.UTRTSC::CAHILLThu May 17 1990 06:436
    Try checking your login command files,maybe for an INQUIRE,if nothing
    obvious is found bypass the login files...
    
    Usually a good place to start.

2773.2Yeah I finally works!NAC::R_POIRIERFri May 18 1990 17:149
    
    Thanks!!!!
    
    I had a .com file executing from my .login that was using an INQUIRE.
    
    What relationship would an INQUIRE have with starting FILEVIEW and
    why did that cause the problem????
    
    
2773.3See other articles...UTRTSC::CAHILLMon May 21 1990 04:5113
    There has been alot of discussion on this in this notes file,and many
    others..see note 620 in the DECterm notes file.
    
    I'll leave it upto the "specialists" to answer the quaestion in more
    detail.
    
    Hope that helps a little.

    BTW. The behaviour regarding INQUIRE has changed for V2.0 of decwindows
         (VMS 5.3).
