Studio STILL Crashing

TurnipTruck

So I just did a complete Windows reinstalltion on my PC. It's XP SP3. The first time I went to connect to a master in Netlinx Sudio...CRASH!!!

Certainly someone, somwhere must know why this happens!

If you tell me the secret, I promise I won't tell anyone!

I was working with a dealer today with this happening, every time he went to connect NLS to the master, whether by the PUSH NOTIFICATION or tree, crash. He noted that he had TPD4 open too, closed that, then the crashes were gone entirely. Not sure if this helps you but for him it was an unexpected interaction. One that I don't have a problem with on my system, so ... good luck.

It still happens to me all the time. I usually find that it occurs when I have debug open with a large structure on display. Ocassionally I don't even get the warning and everything just vanishes. Sometimes it also crashes immediately when I re-open it.

I'm pretty sure this happens regardless of TPD4 being open but I'll pay more attention the next couple of times to see if that is indeed the case. I know there is the interaction where TPD4 will crash sometimes if NS3 is open, ususally after an NS3 file xfer which subsequently causes the TPD4 connection to the master to drop when it reboots.

I pretty much just except it's going to happen occassionly.

I've found that if I close a large number of files rapidly (or allow NS to do so when opening a new workspace) I've got a decent chance of seeing a crash. I haven't noticed if this correlates with TP4 being open though, I'll have to keep an eye out for that going forward.

I can confirm that it doesn't matter whether TP4 is open or not with those crashes. The crashes are a bit of an annoyance, but I've (unfortunately) gotten used to it as well.

This is pretty much the only time I see NS3 crash on Win7.

Surprisingly I have seen quite a few more crashes on XP than 7. I can usually get the crashes to stay away for a while by deleting all of the "Duet" temp folders (usually 40-50) in AppData->Local->Temp.
