The 83+/SE, along with most calculators has to memorys, the RAM (Random access memory) and the ROM (Archive). To make it short, a program can't be ran when it's in the archive when you use the prgm menu.
To fix your problem, if the program you're trying to run has a * by it, it's archived, use the 2nd+(catalog) and goto Unarchive, then press enter, then find the archived program (the one with the * by it) and put it on the same line after the unarchive command. Press enter. Now it should work.

1) 2nd +
2) 2
3) 1
4) Hit enter to get rid of the *stars* for everything!
A * means that program is archived.
An archived program just means that when you clear your RAM, they won't go away. |

Total Posts: 1892 | well, yes thats one side-effect of an archived program is that they don't get deleted. Actually, the archive is 'Flash Memory'...which is a litle more complicated. |
