SuperMemo Forum

I've been running SuperMemo for a few days now. These are my observations:

1. Internet Explorer MUST be installed because it uses the IE ActiveX Control. Otherwise it'll be severely crippled or not start at all. The Mozilla AX Control will not work as a replacement...

2. Works very well with Input Methods (using an X-Input method (I use Nabi for Hangul) and WINE IME automatically). But you'll need to make sure you run the application under the proper language locale as stated in the FAQ. I cannot seem to delete latin characters while in Hangul mode or Hangul while in latin mode. I don't know if this is typical for Windows or apps ran using WINE.

3. Periodically the Menus will lock and thus cannot be pulled down by either mouse or hot-keys. This is probably because of some misbehaving icon-bar or other widget preventing focus from the menus.

4. I had some troubles creating a new collection, saying that it could not read particular item. It'd force the program to abort. "FATAL ERROR: Cannot Read Data for Element #3." I have no idea how I managed to get a new collection created but I did it :P

5. Everything else works perfectly as far as I can tell... it's just really slow to launch like nearly all unsupported windows applications. But it operates fast enough.

An addition to this post: seems that my answers or questions are getting their pairs mixed up. I know what debt is in Hangul and that's not it, darn it! That's ARM! What the heck? 😊
Sometimes I'll have three words in Hangul have the same english answers. Now that I know I didn't erroneously enter 😊

I'm not quite sure what is going on there... but it makes the program difficult to use for memorization.

If you look in the known issues, I describe how to deal with the menu lockup problem.

I think this is a bug in SM. I run this program on Windows and also have the same problem you describe. This never happened in SM2002.

Which SuperMemo version do you use?
