Crash on opening About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. Crash on opening // Bugs 1  |   Order by default Post by jrboddie // Oct 7, 2008, 1:24pm jrboddie Total Posts: 91 TS 7.6 would not open for me this afternoon. I would get the crash message and offer to send the report to Caligari. It was working fine this morning and seemed to close normally the last time I used it. Rebooting the computer did not help. Nothing was installed in the meantime and only used IE 7 to check the disaster on Wall St and play around with Corel Painter Essentials 4. I uninstalled then reinstalled and things seem to be working again. Is there some particular state or action that is known to cause this? And is there a workaround that does not involve reinstallation? System: Core 2 Duo E7200, Graphics 9600GT, Vista 32-bit Post by Maldrachen // Oct 7, 2008, 8:50pm Maldrachen Total Posts: 49 ive had a similar problem before, i had to delete 'default_layout.rsl' after screwing up the ui to get the ui back to default and on another occasion where it just crashed as it was starting up seemed to be caused by a error in the scene file it was trying to load at startup, so deleting 'default.ctx' fixed it.

I understand that drivers could be the culprit but perhaps not in this case because, AFAIK, I would know if a driver changed during the day and I had no problem running the re-installed program. Since I am a new user, it is more likely that I put the environment in an atypical state. I had been fooling with some things deep in the LE before closing the project. Glad to have the suggestions for deleting some of the initialization files. I will try this if it ever happens again.
