9. Keeping Your Computer Happy Don’t open too many windows –Guideline: two browser windows + two open Excel files Data tables – don’t make them too big –Freeze simulation results –This has caused problems in the past… if you do not know how to, ask your proctor before your computer crashes Solver: –Always save before using –Taking more than a few seconds? Usually means your model or solver settings are wrong Use escape key to stop If it is sluggish and you are confident in your model have the proctor reinstall it for you
