Hi Mark,

It could be your date in regional settings, or regional settings in general, that needs to be changed to us-settings.

Regards
Peter

THANKS, I'VE RESOLVED UNINSTALLING DS AND CLEANING THE REGISTRY FILES.

I had the same problem, and solved it by changing two values in the

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ascential Software\DataStage Client\Director

Registry entry.

Both the CategoryView and the JobRelFilter (apparently boolean values but which appear as string entries) were written in the local language (spanish). Since they were in english on machines where the Director was working properly, I changed those values to the corresponding english values (Verdadero became True, Falso became False).

I hope that helps.
