Interesting Crashes today

[Jim Terry]

This happened twice today.

I would select a lighting instrument, place it in the plot, put all that would appear would be a grayed line with what appeared to be 4 insert points.

There is no info in the object window, and all commands are grayed out.

Luckily, I can exit and even save. Upon reopening, everything is fine.......until the next crash.

Running 2010 SP2 Build 116787

Windows XP 2 Gigs Ram.

OK this is getting annoying another crash today. Seems to happen when I double click on a symbol to make it a lighting fixture.

After about the 5th insert, things go south.

Would really appreciate a little help here.

Jim,

Please contact tech support directly.

I've never heard of this problem before and diagnosing/fixing the problem via the community board will be difficult.

Thank You.

Problem is solved. While this was happening, I found my VW to be running slow.

I did 2 things with Tech Support that solved the problems.

1. Updated NVIDIA card from website.

2. Turned off GDI imaging.

Will probably go to $GB of RAM as well. 2010 is a bit of memory Hog, but it's worth it.

Thanks.
