Exactly - which is why I requested posting the MARK version number (and other technical bis). 9/10 times the problem(s) people report reflect bugs that have been squashed in recent releases of MARK. Knowing which version of MARK the user is asking about helps pick those out right away.
However, I would also point out that this is noted explicitly in the MARK FAQ - from which I quote:
9. MARK isn't working - I keep getting a <insert weird gibberish code> error message - what should I do? Well, first, don't panic. The next thing you should do is re-install MARK, making sure you're using the most recent version of the software (see above on where to get MARK). When re-installing MARK, make sure that (i) you first completely uninstall the old version (using the Windows Uninstall Programs method), and then deleting the MARK subdirectory that was created when you originally installed MARK, and then (ii) installing MARK from the most recent build. If after re-installing MARK you still get the same error messages, try a different analysis. If the error is 'analysis-specific', then it may (or may not) be related to your input file. Have a look to see if there are any problems with it. Then, if none of the above works, post your question here.
I suspect strongly that if the person posting the question had tried this, then the problem would have been solved.
