setster Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 I'm using Vectorworks 9.5 with OS 10.1.2. It seems to crash alot. Anyone else have similar problems ? Quote Link to comment
Keith Handy Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 I have just started (2 days) using VW9.5 on OS10.2.1 and have very frequent crashes - it happens even when the program is idle. I cannot determine whether any particular command or action causes it. One thing is certain, it isn't an extension conflict! Quote Link to comment
Keith Handy Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 I meant to type OS10.1 not OS10.2. Reading other people's problems I have 256MB RAM installed and have ensured that there are no other applications running and the crashes still happen. To those who say that it is good not to have to re-boot they are obviously not losing work in the process, and I am saving my work frequently. Furthermore, my VW files are not stored within the VW applications area they are currently self-contained and not particularly complex. Quote Link to comment
Garry Dreger Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Are you running in "classic" or "Native" mode? Do you have a earlier OS installed? [9.1 or?] If so, try opening in an earlier OS. My computer tech thinks the problem is that VW's cannot run "natively" in OS 10. Quote Link to comment
TiTaNiuM sAMuRai Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 I'm running in 'native' in OSX.1.2, and I find that VW crashes as often as 8.5.2 did before I shoved in 512MB of RAM. I, too, save frequently, since the instability is something to which I've simply grown accustomed. No biggie. VW works better now, so the retained instability isn't high on my peeve list. In fact, it's a bit better than 8.5.2 since opening and closing tons of files is no longer one of the causes of crashing. Quote Link to comment
Chad Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 We've started using vw9.5 in OS10.1.2 also, and are experiencing frequent but intermitant crashes as we cut and paste elements of old drawings into new ones. I've read elsewhere on this list that this has been a very stable setup for some people, and I'm wondering what's different between the "crashers" on this thread, and those stable others. Meanwhile, I'll just set my save reminder to 10 minutes and be thankful VW doesn't bring down the whole works when it crashes.... Quote Link to comment
