Hi JD,

I have scene that, repeatably, when ever I click on an object Studio Crashes.

Only 6mb RAR'd can I send it to someone to confirm the problem, if so whom?

Yes, please send it to me (to the email in my forum profile). I'll see what's going on.

Thanks,

JD

Thanks Johh, but I'm unable to duplicate this here, using either the MXS you exported, or a new one exported here. Which version of Studio are you using? I would suspect something like that to be related to video card drivers or settings - do you use standard, current drivers? Also, do you run a single or dual monitor? Also, do you have vertex buffers enabled in Studio's Edit > Preferences > OpenGL? If so, does it help to disable them?

JD Hill is a genius!

Un-checking vertex buffers enabled has fixed the issue!

I was running 1 monitor but it did crash with 2 monitors as well.

Maxwell Studio 1.7.1 Win32 (also tried reinstalling to no effect)

PC is a Dell M90 Laptop
Windows XP 32bit SP3.0
Nvidia Quadro FX 3500m
Driver 176.04 (Quadro Performance Driver) 3d settings set to SolidWorks

Will try rechecking vertex buffers and installing below.
1/ Standard driver 178.26 released 15 October 2008
2/ SolidWorks "Certified" driver 162.65

Will try rechecking vertex buffers and installing below.
1/ Standard driver 178.26 released 15 October 2008 (Just installed works fine with vertext buffers checked)
2/ SolidWorks "Certified" driver 162.65 (Since above works reluctant to try this one for now)
