Hello everyone,

I have tried to do a interpolation using IDW and Kriging. Both give the same error.

I have previously cleaned my temp files in Windows by Ccleaner and think that it could be the problem, since I have used the interpolation before without any problem.

Anyone able to help me?

Best regards

Have you installed the latest service pack?  If this is with ArcGIS 10.0, try turning off the background processing (Geoprocessing menu > Geoprocessing options).

when I turn off background processing this works (great) but I have identical machines that work just fine in background processing.  I don't understand why some would work and others wouldn't.  They are all running SP2 for 10.
