At least the user had the courtesy to tell us but no details about his/her machine.
Is this likely to be a problem with their graphics driver as the app has been perfectly stable on many systems ?
Thanks

we had the same problem too. esp with matrox cards. updating the drivers fixed it for a few days and the same error was reported again. still havent come up with a definete solution. let me know what you found out.
thanx
If this was fixed by a driver update and came back again, maybe you were bitten by Microsoft’s automatic Windows update feature which installed a different display driver screwing up the previously working installation.
Let them compare the driver binaries in windows\system32 and windows\system32\drivers of the working and failing configuration.
