I have, in the past, had major problems with MED crashing on me in the middle of modeling.
MY past problems have been... 1) MED crashes after comming out of a full-screen model preview. 2) MED crashes after running for longer than... i think it was 20 minutes.
Now, it crashes every time I "copy selected" and then "paste" verticies. EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! Its getting on my nervs, if you cant tell. Please, if anyone has any ideas on how to fix any of these, please let me know.
My first thought is that it may be directX, because its as if the screen isnt being refreshed... and then MED crahses. So, i will try that first. In the mean time, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Raddaddy

My version: Gamestudio 6.40.5 (MED:6.814) Commercial Edition
My Computer: -2.4Ghz Pentium 4 -768MB PC2100 Ram -100GB HD -ATI Radeon 9250 (128MB)
The computer is aproximately 1 year old, made form scratch (kind of a budget computer)... but its not THAT old. No, I have modeled on lesser computer with no problems.

PC2100 RAM? That's rarely used nowadays, but I doubt it's the cause. PC3200 is the most common type (400 MHz - PC2100 is 266MHz) Your system specs are just fine.
Have you tried reinstalling Gamestudio?

I just reformatted my computer... so yes, everything is completely new. However, I recieved the same errors before the format. About the RAM... my Motherboard is fairly old (AGP 4X only and PC2100 support only. I actually have PC3200 in there, but the motherboard steps it down, cause it dosent support such speeds ) As you said, Ulillillia, I doubt any of those are the problem, seeing as its still about 10x over the minimum, but still... I have semi-solved one of the problems... when comming out of a full screen preview, if I immediately minimize MED, open it, and save (dont ask, it works), it will not crash. Ghetto workaround, but still would like to know whats up??? A fresh version of Direct X did nothing. Thanks again, Raddaddy

No problems here either whether running MED on a regular computer or a 5 year old lab top.
Just a guess ... sometimes a firewall or such can interfere with programs ... have you tried to turn it off while running MED?

I never run my firewall... Im on dialup, so there really isnt any point. By the time a hacker finds my computer, the IP has either changed, or ive signed off . Thanks everyone again, still having the problems though...
