Dear support,

This is the kind of error message I do get whenever I duplicate a chart; ''Error creating memory device context for chart''

1. Please what does this mean?
2. What could be the cause?
3. How can it be resolved?

Thanks...

This is an extremely rare error and indicates an operating system-level problem.

What version of Windows are you running?

We need to add some additional logging to determine exactly why this error is occurring. We are going to do that. It should be out later today.

We are going to be releasing version 1284 later this evening which will report this error with more details so we have a better understanding of why it might be occurring.

You will also not see the message frequently. It will only occur once per chart.

In any case, this does indicate a lower level operating system problem most likely but we will confirm that.
