Quote - I had a lot of model and videos using 7.1.1 (one new today about model inVM room) and didint get this error. Since version 7 has a new openGL engine (a better one), do you have your video drives updated?
Try to add a primitive and convert to VM to see whats happen too... very weird thing...

I updated my video drivers a little while back, before I had done the fruit bowl tutorial.

I did that with the primitive and convert to Vertex in the modeling room soon as I told it to convert it locked up.

There is a slight version update from Nvidia I am going to try, to see if it makes a difference.  

It locked up Carrara Hard, and I have to have windows kill it.  

I will post if the new drivers made a difference.
