I don't see anything wrong. What exactly were you doing when it crashed?

It could be that you ran out of memory. There is 75MB used per active system and 25MB leaked per inactive system that is loaded.

The highest memory setting has 1GB + 1GB swap, which has 5 or 6 active systems. if you set it to the lowest setting you will have fewer running systems which will basically improve memory usage at the expense of loading time.

It might help if you could find the Dr. Watson logs and post them. Dr. Watson is a debugger built into Windows, but sometimes it can be hard to figure out where it places the crash logs.

Glad it cleared up. Sometimes, even the best apps crash inexplicably. Thats a trouble with modern technology. Happy bounty hunting :wink:
