R 2001 Crashing Constantly
R 2001 Crashing Constantly
(OP)
Hi,
We have recently purchased a new machine....
We have installed R 2001 on it.
Whenever I access any text function via mapkey or via right click - Pro/E crashes.
I get the following error file: "Raising Signal: Signal number 11"
We have tried the following:
1. updated video card drivers
2. swapped video cards
3. re-installed 2001, after cleaning the registry.
Still, Pro/E crashes whenever I try to either; create text as a datum curve or, access ANY text function in drawing mode.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Also,
Both the old and new machines have XP Pro 2002 - service pack 2.
Thanks.
JW

Thanks - an interesting possibility however, we are using the same config.pro file for both our working and dysfunctional installs...
Thanks again,

I would also check your mouse drivers because I have seen many problems in other forums based on this topic. specifically
Mouse Crashes
Look at Mindripper's posting and the following one.

Thanks.
I will look into the XP thing...
Same mouse and keyboard (literally) - both machines.
Cheers,

Worst case scenario, if you are not using a video card certified for use with proE then set the graphics config option to win32_gdi. It will be much slower, but at least it will work.
You could also try as an alternative, leaving the graphics option set to opengl, but turn the graphics acceleration down a bit in the windows display manager.
Good luck,
Steve

One other thing you might want to try is one of the numerous free utilities that clean fragments of old drivers and files from your systems registery.

Thanks for your efforts...
It would seem that the computer we were trying to do the install on - had previously had a Wildfire demo installed.
Even after cleaning the registry and starting over, 2001 would not install correctly.
We have since done an XP system restore, to a date before Wildfire was installed. It worked!
Thanks to everyone for your input...
Cheers,
JW
