Angry Stop Working on Save

Hi, Every time I go to save a project the programme stops working, I've had the software for a couple of weeks and this problem has just started. I've reloaded the software and still get the same result.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit
with a ASUS HD6770 (Radeon) 1GB Video Card
Intel(R) Core (TM) i3-2100 CPU@3.10 GHZ

Any clues why it might crash and loose all my work?

Thanks would appreciate the help

Never heard of this one before.

Does it crash with a simple cube model being saved or is it a specific model that is causing it?

Hi Andy

After it did it a couple off times of trying to save some complex shapes I tried using a simple cube, again it crashed...so I went back and deleted the whole programme including the original download. After uploading a new version (2nd time) It is working ok again and I'm able to save

I am now wondering if operator error is the culprit or my windows? Anyway good news is I'm up and running again and loving the useability and simplicity of AC3D. I just need to keep saving my work at regular interviews in case the bug appears again!

it might have been two versions installed into the same folder or it could be a problem with the graphics card drivers, when the screen is forced to refresh after the save dialog is closed. Some drivers are designed and tested in single-window (game) mode and don't like the desktop environment. You could try updating your drivers.

If it doesn't crash when pressing control+s but does crash when using a file dialog to give a file name then that may indicate the problem.

Other than that, let us know if you experience it again.

Thanks for your kind comments - enjoy!
