Repeatable VW 2014 crash


Recommended Posts

I had this problem randomly with 2013, but it's consistent with 2014.

While working in a file

Click File/open/ double click file name- CRASH

It's consistent with my machine, but not for other people in the office.

That makes me think it's a setting or hardware issue.

It's a fairly new machine.

It's really frustrating. Even though I save a lot I lose a little work, and lot of time.

Now that I'm done posting and restarted I realize I've lost about 45 minutes of work.

yeah I know I should save more often.

I fear every time we upgrade VW.

Here's my official 2 middle fingers to VW2014

Now I'm going home.

I'll try again tomorrow.

In addition to trying the above suggestion, I would recommend installing the latest driver for your graphics card (I think you are currently at 276.19 from the info provided, the driver below is 332.76), then rebooting:

After that and the preference reset, if you still get the same consistent crashing, contact tech@vectorworks.net and we will get you sorted out.
