Ok, sometimes when I’m using Blender, it freezes all on it’s own, with no real trigger. Sometimes I’m rotating the view, sometimes I’m pressing TAB to go into Edit/Object mode, but it always freezes on that .blend, with all versions of blender…
And it only does it with ceartain .blend files…
I have other .blends and they don’t have that problem… I don’t know why blender seems to choose specific files to freeze…
How can I fix a problem like this?
I’m running on Windows ME(yes, I know, it’s crappy), and I have a Trident Cyberblade AGP(77) video card. I tried going to the website for the drivers(using the link from this website) and the website wouldn’t let me download anything.
There are huge projects that I want to finish. Other people don’t seem to have that problem.
do you mean blender crashes (exits with a windows error) or simly becomes unresponsive?
anyway i’d upgrade to winXP, at least 2k. and, if you’re willing to spend 40 bucks, invest them in a GeForce MX4 or something similar, it really pays off.
other scenarios could be that you open .blend files which were created with different versions. in most cases this isn’t a problem since the file fomat it back- and forth-compatible, but sometimes this could crash blender.
make notes on when exactly blender crashes, this might help to tackle down the problem
