3DSimplify crashing occasionally

[Ward]

Do you ever have 3DSimplify to crash?

I only had it one day but during that time it crashed probably 4 times.

I don't have program crashes on my computer very often at all. VERY rare.
But 3DS was crashing quite a bit relatively speaking.

Just wondering if this is somewhat normal for the software?
btw....Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit

[curious aardvark]

is this a bought version - or the PIRATE version of s3d ?

And no it shouldn't crash - but then vista is probably the worst operating system ever released. And I'm including windows 8,10 and me in that :-)

And 64bit vista - come on, di you just look up: 'worst and least compatible operating system ever' and then download a dodgy version ?

Be grateful ANYTHING runs, ever :-)

Bought....well refunded actually now.

lmao

Darn computer has been ROCK SOLID for years no matter what I've thrown at it. Go figure.
I "suspect" I picked up malware somewhere recently because in the last month I've had an uptick in stupid behavior.

Oh, a Windows Update....THAT is the "malware" that messed it up.

Software crashes happen. But 4 times a day... I'm with CA... sounds like a Vista issue...

Send the windows event logs and dump files to S3D

[Ward]

Pretty sure it's malware

Anything else crashing? Resources through the roof? If not its unlikely to be malware...

Yes, as of about 2 weeks ago, a lot of stupid stuff is happening. Yes, resources through the roof.

Before that, probably one of the best behaved computers I've had.

try running it in compatibility mode.

Simplify crashes on me occasionally when slicing, not often enough to worry about. I'm using windows 7 64.
