How good is the trial version

Hi ! For solving a simple 3 x 3 system of differential equations of second order Mathematica seems to bug. It solves a 2 x 2 , but it fails for larger systems. Should I rely on a trial version ?

Calculus in the Trial and Standard versions of Mathematica is the same.

Could you provide the input code?  What are the symptoms of failure?
Attaching a notebook file with the inputs and outputs may be the simple way to provide this.

It would help if you include the output of
$Version
evaluated in your Mathematica.

Thank you, Bruce.

This is a 2 x 2 system that I could solve.

However, by using those same commands, solution for this 3 x 3 is not possible, because right after
sol = DSolve[system, {Va, Vb, Vc}, x], the following message appears:

DSolve::deqn: Equation or list of equations expected instead of 230940.11` in the first argument {{(Va^\\),(Vb^\\),(Vc^\\)}=={(-1.1172+0.103897 I) Va-(0.0154234 -0.012988 I) Vb-(0.0136832 -0.0154847 I) Vc,(-0.0170535+0.0107367 I) Va-(1.1124 -0.122354 I) Vb-(0.0170535 -0.0107367 I) Vc,(-0.0136832+0.0154847 I) Va-(0.0154234 -0.012988 I) Vb-(1.1172 -0.103897 I) Vc},230940.,<<4>>,273.001 +65.1873 I}. >>

It´s funny to notice that if program 2 x 2 runs for the first tiem, it is perfect. But i I try to run it again it gives de the following message : 

DSolve::deqn: Equation or list of equations expected instead of False in the first argument {{(Va^\\),(Vb^\\)}=={(0.8 -3. I) Va-(0.6 -5. I) Vb,(-0.001+4. I) Va-(0.008 -7. I) Vb},False,False,False,False}. >>

Right after the command "sol = DSolve[system, {Va, Vb}, x]" .  I judge it may be a bug. And this same bug may be responsible for the fail/error of the 3 x 3 program ...

I have Windows 8 and my computer is pretty new .

I have no doubt that this is a very simple system and Mathematica should solve it easily. However, I tried to solve it through Laplace Transforms and the problem was similar.

By the way, I have the following version : 9.0.1.0 , Platform : Microsoft Windows (64-bit).

Equations need to be specified with Equal (==) and not Set (=), which does assignment. After correcting this, if there has already been an assignment, these variables need to be cleared or the kernel restarted before trying again.

Thank you so much. Ilian ! Now I´m gonna check the coherence of results !

Mein Gott ! It fails completely ! Solution cannot present sin and cos terms like . On the other hand, plotted graphics are completely incoherent...

By teh way, I tried to solve this same system through Lapalce Transform and result was farther coherent, although not completely...
