I am a new user learning program Mark. I am reading through the "gentle introduction"; and using Mark 6.0. I am having trouble completing the task 3.4. I have done all of the steps up until clicking the "OK to run" button from the run window. When I click on "OK to run" a small window appears titled: Info. Saying: Use an identity design matrix since none was specified? YES/NO
I have tried clicking YES, resulting in ERROR Code 4 [ ]
NO, resulting in no output produced.
In the Design pull-down menu I have:
1) Selected Full-Run,run -- Sin link function is not able to be selected
2)Selected Identity-Run, run -- Error Code 4 [ ] IGNORE/ABORT click ignore, Error window: Error opening file mrk3878y.tmp OK, ERROR MODEL: Could not parse output properly in file mrk3878y.tmp for model
Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the forum. For these sorts of issues, we need to know a few things in order to help:
1. when you say task 3.4, what are you referring to? A section in chapter 3? Be as specific as possible (page number, sample data set), etc.
2. you mention MARK 6.0. Good - knowing the version always helps. But, we also need to know something about the compute environment (what version of Windows, for example).
3. if you're just working through chapter 3 at this point - stay away from any of the design matrix menus. In fact, stay away from any menus. Chapter 3 is a simple stroll through a very basic introductory analysis.
All of the examples in the 'gentle guide' have been tested thoroughly - 100% of them for MARK 5.x, and an increasing fraction for MARK 6.0 as well. And, chapter 3 works with the 'dipper data', which is so well-tested some people can almost recite individual encounter histories (not me, of course).
So, chances are pretty good its some sort of 'error at your end'. The various error messages about .tmp files are consistent with this.
