I am no tech expert, but I know one of the common problems with Tracker and Java is that users tend to use the wrong version. Tracker is an older program and requires the 16-bit version of Java. Both versions of Java can exist on a computer at the same time, so if you do not have the 16-bit version, download and install it in the directory with Tracker.

There could also be security issues with trying to run Tracker on your system if it is a corporate network. Dairy\OneDrive\ seems to suggest it might be.

I was confused also when I got that. Did you go into the nomap setup file and put in the save folder and file of your game. It will hang there if you don�t

delete all the files that start with trackerdb and try again. The trackerdb.lck is a file that is created when you
open tracker and prevents you from opening it twice. It is supposed to delete it when you exit tracker, but you
have done something that has bypassed that.

I get that sometimes. Close everything and reboot and try again.

I don't see how that will help. People have been telling me to reboot for memory problems but when I hit myself in the head with a boot I still can't remember!

I am definitely not tech saavy, but I am also having an issue. I wonder if it's because this is a newer computer, and I do not have 16-bit Java. Where can I download 16-bit Java? I can't seem to find it on the internet, and definitely can't find it on Oracle. What version of Java is 16-bit?

On the tracker instructions page there's a link to the Oracle page that has the older java programs....GP

Looks like the DB lock file was not cleared. Perhaps a crash of the program. If you only have one turn loaded, I'd delete all of the trackerdb files and start over.
