I need to include some blank spaces in the draws.

I have started a draw and it seems to be continuing for a very long time.

I constantly receive a Windows Error Message (usually 'this program has violated system integrity').

I have using Windows xp and have a problem with 'Out of Memory' messages appearing.

Enter some "dummy" entries to the system. Using a dot or asterisk for the owner's name and the horse names will ensure that this is all that is printed on the draws and score sheets -leaving space for you to overwrite these spaces). After doing the draw these "blank" entries can be moved to any location that you wish using the 'Adjust Draw' option.

Should this happen it is OK to stop the process using Ctrl Alt Delete (hold all three keys down) and select End Task (after checking that the task is 'Campdraft Manager' in the list). This indicates there is a problem in selecting the entries and meeting the rider separation that you have requested. [If you have 100 entries and one rider has 5 horses you cannot enter 20 as the separation - we suggest 12 -15. The actual number is dependent on the numbers of multiple entires and the overall number of entries.] You can always check the resulting draw and manually move entries for a particular rider further apart if necessary.

I constantly receive a Windows Error Message (usually 'this program has violated system integrity') when I attempt to access a particular section of the system.

There seems to be an incompatibility problem with the database engine (a Microsoft product) and early versions of Microsoft Windows which affects some systems only (approx 1%). This only affects V2.0 of the system. If this should occur please contact us immediately and we will send you a different version of the database engine which should overcome this problem.

I have using Windows xp and have a problem with 'Out of Memory' messages appearing especially when I try to access the competitor list. Other items appear to operate normally.

You are using V2.0. If using Windows 2000 or Windows xp you will need to upgrade Campdraft Manager. On Windows xp DO NOT set the 'compatability mode' for the exe file as the system may not operate correctly if the compatibility mode is set.
