I did an email and new support forum thread last night. After the render of last night's picture, I play around with Vue scene for a while and it did not crash. So I don't think it is related to copy protection stuff. Before buying Vue I ready threads about its instability and was deeply concerned.. I desired waiting to see if reports of fixing them. But I am so impressed with images. That I had to have it. I expect XP 2 will bring out bugs and bad behavor in a lot of programs because it does not tolerate wild malious programs.
