eagle.exe has stopped working

ianlee74
ianlee74 over 12 years ago

My Eagle software has become totally unusable and I can't figure out how to fix it.  Sometimes it stops working as soon as I open a file.  Other times, it waits until I've made a change or two and then it blows up with just a "eagle.exe has stopped working" error.  I've uninstalled, deleted my eaglerc.usr file, and reinstalled the latest (6.4.0) version and I still get the same results.  Any ideas?  I'm totally dead in the water.

    Hi Ian,

    Are you working on windows 7/windows 8, 64 bit, i have had faced this problem earlier. I uninstalled 6.40. and installed 6.1.0 which works well for me, dont forget to back up your sketches, lbr and scripts if any.

     

    let me know if it works,

     

    cheers

    Thanks for the reply.  I'm using Win8 Pro 64-bit.  I thought of trying this but couldn't find the old versions to download.  Can you point me to the 6.1.0 downloads?  I'll give it a try tonight when I get home.  I recently upgraded the motherboard, CPU, & memory on this machine.  Prior to that it was working fine.  I was using a Core2 Quad before and I'm using an i7 CPU now.  I didn't reinstall Windows, so everything else should be the same.  Perhaps there's an issue related to the hardware?

    Thanks for the link Josef.  Downgrading to 6.1.0 seems to have me running again.  W00t!  But, what does this mean?  Can I never upgrade again?  Is there anyone from Cadsoft that wants me to help diagnose the problem and get a fix into the next release?

    Hi,

    I don't know much about w8 at this time, but with w7 its quite ease to change the properties of the eagle.exe file to a XP compatible mode enviroment.  Usually I recommend users this procedure if they  are having some sort of stability issue with EAGLE.  So far it has worked really well. Developers are trying to update QT libraries for the next update beta version.

    I wish I had a better answer, I will do my best to keep you informed.

    Regards,

    Ed
