Hi all you sunshine boys and girls. Dont know if this only happened to me, but I thought I should let you know just in case... Had a Vue-crash yesterday and after that the computer just freezed when trying to open up Vue again. After several tries and reboots my whole computer got corrupted and I got a blue screen when trying to startup windows :( ...I did some heavy duty repair and finally got the computer to run again. Vue still crashed! However, after emptying the VUE4.MRU which obivously is the recent file-list (in textformat) I am "live" again. Puuh! Maybe this has something to do with bad paths or missing files concerning the recent file-list? Since we log in to my computer with different usernames the path to My Documents (where we save our work) of course change from person to person. I guess I will find out more about that later...just now I am however not in the mood for trying to force the computer to crash again :). And, of course I have not reported it to the support yet...cant do that until I have a step by step procedure about how to repeat it. Enjoy Life / Ole

Hi Obi Van, Have you sent this off to Steve Bell at support. I contacted him about a similiar problem I had, where during startup Vue would freeze, with the splash screen still showing and only a part of the Vue GUI loaded. I keep a full system backup so I just re-installed the contents of the Vue 4 folder and it worked again. If you had the same problem, then you may have found the culprit file :) Cheers

I don't understand Windows trying to shove everything into "My Documents". I always create the folders I want to store items. I wouldn't want to dump my Vue images in with my word processort documents or my latest Terragen renders...it just doesn't make sense to me. I'm not Bill Gates, obviously! Glad you were able to find a fix, Ole. :)

Windows programs for the lowest common denominator. I do tech support for a large, highly technical company. A requirement for being hired is computer literacy. I still deal with users who can't find their desktop. My Documents was created for those people. It's annoying that you can't program a different path without a lot of effort, but that's what they did. Vue is just as bad - always looking in their defaults instead of allowing us to specify the defaults we want Vue to use.
