That looks very familiar to a memmory leak. I suggest removing any plugins, shut down truespace and reboot. if it still happens, uninstall truespace. reboot, reinstall.

For what it's worth, I started getting those errors a lot a couple of years ago, first in trueSpace, then in other programs as well. It turned out that one of my memory modules had become faulty. I replaced the memory, and the problems vanished. Just something to keep in mind. :)
Hope that helps!

service pack for TS? also i'm starting to have problems rotating objects they start to rotate but then stop or don't rotate at all, i removed some plug-ins that were for TS 5 or 4 and that seems to have stopped some of the memory leaks now this "rotation" thing is the new prob, i downloaded a program called "memtest" that chks mem modules but it takes forever, i'm not too thrilled about plucking ram sticks out one at a time, you'd figure you have 4 Gigs of ram and everything would be sunshine :)


i find that rotation on the X and Y axis have the most trouble and as far as the ram you'd think a mobo designed to run on PC 2100 modules would do just that :)




any comments are welcome

Check to make sure you do not have grid snapping enabled, as this might make it appear that things are locked in place if you have large snapping increments set. This tool looks like a grid and should be somewhere near the "Object" tool.


If that doesn't work, then if you have a mouse with a ball under it, check to make sure there's not too much buildup on the rollers.

I once had bad memory modules and blamed win XP for it, but it turned out to be the RAM. Just run the check over night to be sure.
