Quote - Which version of Bryce is crashing.  Old as they are, I still tend to go to B5 or even B4 (if I need volumetic materials as Corel broke it between 4 and 5).  If I really need to, I go to 5.5 for the DS bridge.  I have higher versions but don't even have them installed. 

Do you have an older version?  IIRC, you can use a format from the USGS to create terrains.  Sorry, I can't remember the format off hand but both those versions do come with manuals so the format is listed.

Don't remember the version number, got it with the book and found I'd just bought what I already had.  (As well as buying Hex again, which also didn't play nice on my computer.)  Kept working at it for some weeks, but thinking maybe this time, then crashing again gets kinda old.  I'd have to resurrect one of my old XP boxes to say for sure, but that probably isn't going to happen.  Another problem is that of my computers, those which I actually use are not allowed to be aware of the existence of the internet.  There are no updates that way, so maybe they were looking for something that hadn't been coded when whichever iteration of windows was cobbled together.
