C. Andrew Dunning Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Good morning! I'm having difficulty with VW2008 crashing when rendering on one of my machines. VW simply ceases to exist. No lock-up of the screen content. No shut-down process. No error messages. The problem seems to be Workspace-related. W. any of the "stock" Workspaces, all seems to work OK. W. a Workspace imported from VW12...crash. W. a Workspace created from scratch (w. only a couple of menu items)...crash. W. a modified "stock" Workspace...crash. W. a Workspace created on my other machine...crash (though all works as it should on that machine). This is all w. a simple, single extrusion of a rectangle as a test object. My O.S. is Windows XP Pro. The machine in question is a Dell Inspiron 8600 w. 1 GB of RAM. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment

C. Andrew Dunning Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Oops. That would have been helpful to know... Fast RenderWorks Fast RenderWorks with Shadows Final Quality RenderWorks Artistic RenderWorks Custom RenderWorks Fast Radiosity Final Quality Radiosity Custom Radiosity Also, when I restart VW, "Architect Classic" (the first Workspace on the list) is active.

C. Andrew Dunning Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Chris - Quicktime 7.2. Katie - "W." means "with". Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Oooh .. I'm used to "w/" as the shorthand. I learned something today! Quote Link to comment
