Agilent chemstation launcher not responding update#

If anyone can shed some thoughts on this, I'd appreciate it as we don't want this to happen again. Somehow, everything seems to be working fine again, not exactly sure how the problems got fixed but essentially we had to recreate our original methods.

At one point I thought that maybe a Windows update had messed up ChemStation since both of our GC-MS systems experienced this run method errors pretty close together in time (in the past 2 weeks). 1 method worked just fine that I tried, but after I edited this working method to change the oven ramping condition, the run method error came back. Another weird observation made was that 3 saved methods were corrupted, would give a run method error when doing a single injection or a sample list. Has anyone else experienced this problem before? Methods becoming corrupted for no good reason, simply because you made an error on your sequence list? A similar problem was noticed recently on our 6890 GC - 5973 MSD system when a sequence glitch corrupted several of our methods. It appears that if you make a mistake on a sequence list, the method becomes corrupted. Both of the methods loaded in the sequence list were subsequently unusable after this run method error. The first method ran fine, and the second method accidentally had the wrong column length entered into the method and the sequence list halted, generating a RUN METHOD ERROR. The second time, two methods were loaded into a sequence list. On one system, our 6890 GC with 5975 MSD, the run method error message was displayed after changing out an ALS. This has happened to us recently, twice, on two different systems.

We are experiencing issues with some of our GC-MS methods becoming corrupted and no longer useable.
