Peaks Studio has limitations on the number of spectra that can be run without running into memory limitations — around 150 to 250 spectra. We are working on scalability, but for now, try splitting your data up into chunks. Alternatively, it may be the result of a known bug in PEAKS 2.0. Please upgrade to PEAKS 2.1 or better. Yet another cause may be a Java conflict with windows NT. Upgrading to Windows 2000 or XP will solve the problem. If this is impossible, try reinstalling Peaks with a lower memory setting.
