Hit "f" game bailed

Win2k, fresh install, all old versions uninstalled.
Started the game, clicked on ship to launch, was just screwing around hitting buttons and when I hit "f" the game exited.
Not reproducable, nothing in the logs to indicate the problem.

this doesn't sound like 'f' caused the crash the 'f' key only touches memory that's always there...so it can't have caused a nonreproducable bug
do you get crashes at any other time? or has this been the one time....
very strange... wish we had a stack trace-but alas we do not...I'll run some simulations to see if I can reproduce anything

Yes, it did bomb out on me one other time, but I was on the phone when it happened, so I didn't really take note of what exactly I did.

hmmm did it tell you what module vega strike caused errors in when you did details
sometimes it says
vegastrike.exe has produced errors in module vegastrike
or
vegastrike.exe has produced errors in module OpenAL
and so forth

if you hit the escape key... 'f' is one of the keys you can press to quit immediately.

hmm I just produced a similar bug once after a long number of tests
the problem happened in the nvidia driver (which is closed source)
not sure if there's gonna be a workaround this time....
when you get a bug try to at least see which module the bug happened
at least windows98 you could hit "details" and it would tell you "Happened in module NVOPENGL" or something.... or "Happened in module vegastrike.exe"
cus that's what would help more than nothing--
if it's vegastrike.exe then I haven't reproduced it--but if it's in nvidia's driver then I have---
if it's in vegastrike.exe, however, if I can reproduce it, then I can fix it
