Zeiss Confocal PC problems

[Keith Morris]

Dear Microscope User,

The PC used to control the Zeiss confocal microscope has crashed a couple of
times over the last two weeks. The System C: drive was full, so I cleared
some space and will defragment the hard drives ASAP.

However, I would advise any users who haven't backed up their data to do so
soon. If the problem returns, I'll call the Zeiss engineer, but it is likely
to be a Windows XP or PC problem rather than confocal hardware.

Regards

Keith

Hi all,

Sorry, the previous message was intended for our Microscopy Core users at

Still, good advice about backing up your data.

Good save, Keith. I'll keep that in mind. (Thanks for entertaining me today.)
