Hi Joe, The first—and most critical—thing to check is whether or not the students who don't have the newer phages are using the correct Phamerator database. To check the current database/server settings, go into one of their Phamerators and go to Edit –> Preferences. The current server and database should be:
If those are the settings, and you're still not seeing the recent phages, let us know. –Dan |

Tamarah Adair Hi Tammy, Yes, setting up a shared folder as Chris described is perfect. (Just make sure you click "Auto-mount" as well, so it'll be loaded and ready to go each time you open the VM.) If you're using VirtualBox version 5.0 or later, you should be able to use Drag-and-Drop as well, though again as Chris mentioned it's still a bit buggy. To use this, open VirtualBox (not the VM itself yet) and select the VM just to highlight it. Click Settings–>General then click the "Advanced" tab. You should see a "Shared Clipboard" and a "Drag'n'Drop" setting. Put these both on "Bidirectional". Then launch the Virtual Machine and give it a shot. –Dan |

cdshaffer Thanks again, Chris, for all this work. I think we should definitely formulate a plan to get an improved version of Starterator out to everyone. Perhaps it's something that could be part of the Faculty Retreat/Workshop this year and follow it up with some testing. It'd be great to even fix just some of the basic errors. –Dan |

Copying Fred's stuff from another thread to here, where it's best addressed. Thanks for all your help with this, Chris! Hopefully we can get some of these bugs permafixed soon.fbaliraine" But "Andies_draft" still crashes at the same spot, stating "Startsaerator has encountered an error, please try again" as per attached snapshopt.

Veronique Delesalle I noticed this as well, Véronique. I'm not sure why, but just wanted to confirm that it's not something about your computer or setup! –Dan |

chumhoDan Russellchumho The most common problem with DNA Master is that it's not being run as an administrator. If not, then even when the update "completes", it won't really be updated. The best thing to do is to check that build number and see whether it's up-to-date or not. If not, then run an update and check the build number again. If it hasn't updated, then something else is wrong (like not running as an administrator). –Dan |

Just FYI, everyone, Debbie and I Googled the "OLE" error you've been getting, and it seems like it's a WINE error. So that, along with Kristen's last post, would seem to indicate that there's nothing wrong with the latest DNA Master version per se, but perhaps there's an issue with the way it interacts with WINE. |
