Why does the Windows task manager report that FRAGSTATS is “not responding”?
During a long FRAGSTATS run (e.g., a batch file), it may be unclear whether FRAGSTATS is actually running or not. For reasons that can’t be explained here, the Status Bar may not report “processing” when in fact the program is running. The surest way to confirm that FRAGSTATS is actually running is to open the Windows Task Manager (for NT-based systems). However, the Application tab will show that Fragstats is “Not Responding”. Open the Processes window and check to see if FRAGSTATS is using CPU and memory. If it is, then your O.K., let it continue running. Unfortunately, if you try to return to the FRAGSTATS window while it is still running, the window may be blank. That’s O.K. Just wait for the process to end.
