Program shuts down when I try to click on options (in order to change statistical method) through the analyze link. I get a 'runtime error 50003' message and the entire program shuts down. Is there a fix for this?

The developers of the application provide some information on their website that you can use in your paper. They even recommend the text to add to your paper. You can find it below:
Please refer this software as:
Zamora J, Abraira V, Muriel A, Khan KS, Coomarasamy A. Meta-DiSc: a software for meta-analysis of test accuracy data. BMC Medical Research Methodology 2006, 6:31.
The program has been developed by the Unit of Clinical Biostatistics team of the Ramón y Cajal Hospital in Madrid (Spain). This project has been partially supported by grants FIS PI02/0954, PI04/1055 and FIS G03/090.
I used this program for my meta-analysis. I use the program for studies of use of ultrasound in diagnosis of forearm fracture. In the forest plots, I've got Inconsistency 0.0 % for sensitivity and 76.8 % for specificity. I don't understand why there is a big difference between these values. Is this caused by an internal error of the application, and is this going to be fixed?

According to a document that can be downloaded from the developer's website, the behavior that you encounter isn't that unusual. When you use the product for some cases, you might obtain big differences in results. In this case, the reviewer should investigate further the reasons why this is happening. This being your case, I suggest that you download the mentioned document. By doing this, you can find more about this matter, as well as methods on how to properly solve the problem.
