Eagle 5.0.0 crashes randomly in WinXP

Sometimes BIOS updates fix a lot of things. Check if you have the latest

BIOS.

Recently one of my systems (using Asus P5N-D) was acting up so I

suspected the memory and replaced with crucial ballistix. Problem

remained and crashes kept coming back. Thought that the motherboard is

bad. BIOS update fixed it and it is now stable.

Okay,

I have confirmed the this is not a problem with my hardware.  I have ran

every memory test, disk access, dxdiag, video, bit test etc. I can find and

my hardware is stellar.  No issues.  This is the only program that

consistently crashes.  It always seems to be when I am working with the

libraries.  I had no issues, or crashes for that matter with Version 4.

This has effectively stopped both projects I have in development.  It's

really difficult to build a board with no parts.  I see from several emails

from different users that crashes during library usage is the common point,

that should be a place to start with debug I think.  Please advise.

Thanks all,

New update.  I have been running with Beta version 5.1.3 for several days

with no crashes.  My only concern right now is that I am using a Beta

version to fiinish my production boards which I need to order on Monday.  I

have no choice though unless a release comes out before then, my customers

don't much care why a project is behind, just that it's late.

Thanks for all of the suggestions, even though this had nothing to do with

my hardware, it's good to verify that end once and awhile anyway.
