Hi All,
I am writing to see if any other FV1000 Olympus users are experiencing a
similar problem. A few months ago we got a new computer with FLUOVIEW
ver4.2a from Olympus to upgrade our 8-year old system. Since then, we get an
intermittent z-scan error. When the system gets to the last slice it freezes
and just keeps scanning. Sometimes you can press "Stop" button and save you
scan, but more often then not you have to force quite and re-start the
software. You can imagine this drives some of my users crazy as the last
thing you want is to restart your 30-minute z-scan yet again...
Olympus says that they never heard about this issue before and have not been
able to solve it so far.
Thanks,
Alex

Yep--same here--about 6 months ago.  Service visit seemed to have fixed it.  However--problem just returned last week.
