[Gate-users] Re: Run time error

[Bryan McIntosh]

Alan,

My lab also runs GATE in VMWare, and my colleague had the same problem
last week.  It turns out that his output files had grown large enough
to fill his virtual machine's hard drive, and the error appeared
because GATE couldn't write its output.  Try increasing the maximum
size of the virtual drive, or move some large files off the VM.
