Don't forget that hardware and software can both cause problems. Video
cards (or the lack thereof) can cause major problems with CAD software, be
sure you have a video card with an appropriate amount of RAM and one that
is made by a popular manufacturer. On-board video is not the best option
most of the time.
Also, the operating system is important (all updates, etc.) but other
software installed on your computer can cause problems as well. A major
issue is anti-virus software that uses a lot of memory/CPU cycles for its
continuous monitoring.
Most software crashes can be attributed to a lack of RAM or a lack of
virtual memory. Either of these can be alleviated by running fewer
programs in the background.
As for my experience using Carlson, I have very few crashes. The ones I do
have are mostly my fault. I've noticed that if I try to draw points in
layers that are frozen, it will crash every time. So I just pay attention
when I do that. Also, if I use undo to change project info (profiles,
centerlines, etc.) and then run those routines again it can crash. Of
course, these are issues that LDD and CivilDesign have as well. The
program just can't handle some things.

PS-I run XP Home and still have very few problems.

Do you have the most recent version of the software?
I don't know what could be wrong. Do you have enough ram?
My problems have been few and far between. I Haven't had a crash/fatal
error in at least a couple of years, and I use Carlson Survey and SurvCE
daily. Perhaps there is a memory addressing conflict between software?

xp pro and it happens more. I grew up on carlson but I am at my limits.
If
I do not get a free up grade or patch that works i will switch to
another
product. If I get sued for a problem you can bet carlson will be sued
also.
Please Carlson Dooooooo something about this.
If anyone has found the answer please email me with the info.
