1.162 Crashing

[cnsranch]

So, I took the leap, installed 1.162, started fooling around with it, and here's my problem -

Opened a pattern in PE, click on "Edit" "Pattern Settings', get a gui error, and the program crashes. Crashed three times in a row.

Can anyone else give this a whirl and tell me if it's my system, or the program.

Thanks

Hi Jerry,

I'm pretty sure that was a common one, I don't know if they ever did get it fixed, I haven't made the leap yet myself...

Good luck,

Hey "Namesake"

I just tried it and it worked fine for me. Opened PE, opened a pattern, clicked on edit, clicked on edit pattern settings and I didn't get any error messages or crashes. Also, running windows7 64 bit.

Jerry,

You are not alone!! :(

My system was ok. Did the same - OPEN PE, Edit, Edit pattern settings, OK. Didn't crash.

I am also WindowsXP, Service Pack 3 (professional, not home), but I have 2 G of RAM, so maybe that is it.

Wish it was that simple of a solution but I believe others even have it with other OP systems. Even Michael.. See link that Craig posted for more info.

I know the software guys are suppose? to be looking into the issue.

That is just the thing. There are several people with the issue and each are running different system set-ups. Pinpointing the exact cause of the issue is difficult.

I have tested the process of four different PCs, each with a different OS, and have not been able to duplicate the issue myself...

I haven't gotten to talk to any of the engineers about it in the past couple days, so I'm not sure if they have been able to replicate it either.

Wait, looking at your screenshot in your first post, I noticed that you had a pattern on the screen. I didn't have a pattern. What are the stats for the pattern?

Also, can you crash it again, and when the window comes up, click on the link to display more of the error information, and post a screen shot of that?

That may help a little. It will give a start.

Atauer - I'm in PE when the system crashes - to clarify, I'm not creating a new pattern, I opened a pattern I already had into PE, then Edit, then Pattern Settings, that's when I get the crash.

It's happening on numerous patterns I have.

Looking at the ptn I would say it the stats are well stacked :D!

I thought the same thing until I read the name of the pattern.

It's an alligator head everyone...

More detail...

When was the last time you restarted your computer? The error could be caused by a bad section of memory. Restarting should clear the memory and any corruptions that may be stored.

HMMM..LOL

Here is my screen shot on my error.

Alex,

Have you looked at the following yet?

I've tried just about every trick suggested and no resolve...

"Guys" need to be a generic term here...I thought the same thing at first and then saw what it really was!;)

(Why are there no female smilies? Guess it's generic too!)

Nope - still crashes.....

Jerry, I did the PE thing and it worked for me. Running windows 7 64bit 2 gig ram, a new install on a new hard drive. I looked up on the internet and they seam to think it’ s a registry problem. After a computer has been used for a time, programs installed and uninstalled the registry can become a mess, I have used the original windows install disk and did a repair of windows and sometimes corrected the probem.

Problem: Gui.exe errors are caused by missing system files or broken system registry structures. This is a critical sign of an unstable system that is typically caused by improper maintenance of the computer.
Hope this helps.

Maybe a member of the forum with a MS Certification can shed some light on this.

Hi
Tha problem I had with PE was when I tried to save to patern library is when I got the crash. I then just saved it and then saved to the library and it worked ok.
