Maple 12

Windows XP

 

 

Looking to get help figuring out why Maple 12 won't launch.

I click on the icon and nothing. (not even a splash screen)

I have tried to change the launch.ini file maxheap command, but it still won't launch.

The fact that it doesn't even show the spash screen makes me think it is unrelated to the maxheap command.

 

I have tried to launch in a cmd window but when i type "maplew" all I get is a new command propmt.

 

How do I lock plots so that every time I execute the document the plot won't revert to default settings? Thanks Dgiznya

Can someone please explain the rational behind why this works. b := seq(x^2*Unit('m'), x = 1 .. 5); 1[m],4[m],9[m],16[m],25[m] eval(b, Unit = 1); 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 I use this method but never understood why it works. why does using Unit=1 strip the units? Thanks, DG

A couple of question on the following snippet.

Probably me doing something wrong but just wanted to know.... I wanted to assign a value to a variable... delta x but I wanted to use the greek delta with the x. (e.g. Δx) Maple doen't like it, and flags the error. Error, first argument to _Inert_ASSIGN must be assignable I know it is only cosmetic but I just wanted know if its possible. Thanks, dgiznya
