but I received an answer (5.4%). Same thing happens to me sometimes, too. I usually wait a couple minutes then everything works fine. I suspect it's not MMA's fault. $\endgroup$?AlphaIntegration
, evidently expecting it to work. I was simply trying to provide an explanation as to why it doesn't. Your overall problem is pretty clearly an anomaly or bug specific to your system; as VF1 suggests, I'd recommend waiting and trying again later. Or perhaps at a different location, or perhaps even reinstalling eventually. $\endgroup$
