Blender crashes

Hello all, I’m having an odd Blender problem. It tends to crash when I try to create more than one object. Example, I make a sphere toy with it, make another and the whoel thing freezes. Same thing if I delete everything and start anew. Even closing the program and bringing it up again causes the freeze. I have had this problem in 2.26 and 2.25. I am running Win2k, ATI Radeon 7200, 512 ram 60gig 7200rpm. Any help appreciated.

is this a new occurance?
(did it work before)

if it did, it may not be the fault of blender

Yes it’s a new occurence, it worked for several months. Then, my HD crashed and I was forced to reload, nothing changed. However now it jsut doesn’t work. I can reproduce teh above crash every time.

Did you upgrade your video driver? I ask because I had similar trouble in Linux with the same card and it turned out to be the driver.

If you haven’t updated it, perhaps you can go to ATI’s site and grab a new one and see if it helps.

Hope this does something for ya’!

I tried that, I also dug out my old copy of 2.23, now it works longer but crashes in exactly the same manner. I really wanan get back to blending.

i am having the same problem, and i am really desperated – if you look for my previous topic, you will see no one can help us! – i will reinstall everything again (for the 5th time, or the 6th one i guess) – and if it wont work then blender can go and fuck itself, cos i cant lose my life on a software that is not stable and that has no compatibility with the most standard kind of pc in the market – i have all kind of software here and it’s all working and working fine, many opengl apps that are FAR more complex then blender…
