APPCRASH EAGLE 6.4 on WIN 7 64

terje

Dear the support team at Cadsoft!

I have just purchased and installed Eagle pro shematic and layout package on to my brand new win 7 64 computer.

 

I'm now trying to design some new components with the library editor but every 3 to 10 minutes the application crashes and the work is lost.

To me it appears that the crash happens randomly. It can happen when I'm resizing the window, moving a element, copy a element, changing the grid. pushing the undo button  etc. etc.

For now the Eagle is useless as this happens too frequently.

 

The eagle program is installed under C:\eagle

The version is 6.4.0.

 

What did I do wrong?

 

Is this a known issue?

 

 

 

Windows crash report:

  • Additional information about the crash:

    When I changed the backup time interval from 2 minutes to 30 minutes the crash interval decreased accordingly. It still crashes but not so frequently. To me it appears that the eagle.exe will crash if I do something while the application makes a backup copy in the background process. Yeah, that’s great! ……..reminds me of running an old win95 program on a win 7 computer.

    !!Any suggestions?

     

    Is it OK to have the /projects directory on a different drive? Like e:\eagle-projects?? And the eagle application on c:\eagle-6.4.0\??

    Hi Terje,

     

    I would recommend you save your projects to a directory other than

    EAGLE's installation directory. That's probably the cause of your

    crashes, Windows 7 places restrictions on the Program Files folder which

    are giving the issues.

     

    If you save your projects in a different directory you'll see that you

    won't get the crashes.

    I am also experiencing similar problems.  I have downloaded 6.4.0 just to try it out.  It is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\EAGLE-6.4.0\bin\eagle.exe.  Projects are stored in My Documents\Eagle, so I don't think that is the problem.

     

    Thanks,

    Rich
