Ram Cleared!

[Keith Pierce]

I have a Ti-83+/SE and everytime i make a basic program and run it, it resets the ram?

I have Calcsys on it to check the battery status, and i found out at the batteries were dead so I changed them, but after I changed them and started over on programming the calc reset again and i checked at Calcsys and it said batteries were dead, but they were new! Whats the problem here? I have no idea and i am getting alittle ticked.

are you using the TI-prgm editor?

[Keith Pierce]

yes I actually do. I program everything directly on the calc.

Probably something to do with Calcsys. I had it on my old 83+ and it really sucked. It didn't do much of anything, the flags never stayed set, and usually everytime I set an option the calc started displaying some random hieroglyphs and crashing. DON'T USE CALCSYS.

[wrigley]

The mere fact that you are able to run CalcSys means that the batteries are alright (at least alright enough for you to run a prgm without it resetting), is it like this with all BASIC prgms or just one perticular one?

If it continues, try backing up whatever prgms and apps you have onto the computer, and redownloading the os to it from the comp.

I had a schoolmate who had a similar problem (he had lent his calc out), so I helped him redownload TI-OS to his calc and it works perfectly now. :)

EDIT: By the way, I think CalcSys is a brilliant program, besides the worst thing you can do with it (in my experience at least) is clear ram, which is alright as long as all prgms except the ones you are working on are archived

Thanks but I found out the problem.

The funniest thing is though, I had it on my calc for almost a year.

Could the problem be uploading a programing and deleteling programs everyday?

[wrigley]

I don't think so, I do that every day, and I haven't had that problem with mine (83+SE).

What fixed the problem?

[Keith Pierce]

I had to reset the memory and upload everything back ok! Thanks again guys.

[Keith Pierce]

ok i got another problem. I uploaded everything back on but now i get a message when i turn it one that says. ERR:Link

the calc still works. how do i fix this error?

[wrigley]

try redownloading The TIOS as described earlier, it only takes about 5 minutes

[Keith Pierce]

whats the advantages if doing this, and why would it help? is it becuz something is corrupt? I never heard of that error until it showed up also?

[Toksyuryel]

We don't really know why it works, just that it does.

[Keith Pierce]

I did upload(OS) but this is the error i still get.

ERR:Link
1:Quit
2:Goto

But the calc still works?

How do i fix this?

Update:I contacted ti and hopefully they can fix this! Thanks guys for the help anyways. -

Another update: I found the problem. I had startup app on there before and when i cleared the ram and memory i forgot to turn off this app. Now it works yeah.

TI i still love you

[wrigley]

Rejoicing!!

[Keith Pierce]

Another problem might have been was chasm 2. I think there was some problems with the compatabilty with other apps. but i will check on it.

[Keith Pierce]

I think the apps(from ti) are the main reasons for all the problems people are having.

[wrigley]

ERR: UNDEFINED. What problems are you talking about, I have never had any problems with any apps what so ever.

[Keith Pierce]

I dont know I just heard a few people did!
