Eagle 5.0.0 crashes randomly in WinXP

Eagle 5.1.0 Crashes Randomly with XP.  This has happenned about 10 to 15

times in the last week.  I am running Eagle 5.1 on WinXp and for no apparent

reason Eagle crashes and dumps me out to Windows.  No chance to save

anything, just dumps out.  Cumulatively, I've lost several hours worth of

work due to this.  Please advise.....

Well, ran the memory tests, No anomalies, so that's good.  I was kind of

hoping that would be it.  Is anyone else having an issue like this with 5.1?

Thanks for any inputs.

schematic when I hit the Add Parts icon.  Then Eagle completely locked

up, and I get a Windows error again.

What type of information do you need from us to help you resolve this.

We have to get this fixed, I've lost so much time with this issue with

losing

15-20 minutes worth of work each time.  Please advise.

KLS: wasn't there this weird report about memory access violations

etc.? What about it? Is this to be taken seriously, maybe?

 

We have found three problems that might cause crashes:

 

  - Fixed a crash when changing the grid color while a library is

  open

    without having edited a particular package, symbol or device set,

    yet, and the grid is actually displayed.

  - Fixed a crash when entering a curve parameter (like "@+20") in a

command

    that works with wires, without an actual wire attached to the

    cursor.

  - Fixed a possible data corruption after changing the coordinates

  of an

    object or the layer of a wire in the properties dialog, in case

    this resulted in a wire optimization.

 

These will be fixed in version 5.1.1.

Sounds awfully hardware related.  Get a copy of "Memtest @ memtest.org"

and run it overnight.  Just rules out memory errors !

Well at least that rules out the most common cause of program

malfunctions, bad memory/ram !

Does this kind of problem happen with any other applications ?

Particularly if recently installed.

Assuming that it does then other possibilities are the PSU and heat.

These would be my next things to check.
