Been okay for a few days, just now called up an old job, 4 lines of text on the end of a suppressor tube, was moving text into position and getting ready to change the S/N and poof...
Here's a screenshot of the crash screen, plus a second of the lower window to show all the details in case someone can read memory address gibberish!

Another problem has been occurring lately too, happened again last night, and it creates a worse situation than the crashes... Last night I was engraving 4 identical items, about 2x2", each has like 24 words (which is not EZcad text but imported from a DXF) and a couple of simple graphics. EZcad acts like these are huge photos or something. It takes quite a bit of time to jog all four at once, example, my jog distance is .1mm, and if I hit the jog 5 times quick, it takes like 2 or 3 seconds for them to finish moving. Anyway, just during the act of jogging I get a "OUT OF MEMORY!" error- And when that happens, not only am I dead in the water with what I'm doing, if the job is, or was, saved on the computer, then the saved job is toast too... This would've been a 30+ minute waste of time to rework the text back to 'fiber-able' from my original tool engraving job, but fortunately I had a 2-up job saved. But the 4-up job is gone. File is still in the folder, but it's blank... Why would an out of memory error corrupt the job file, and why am I getting an error anyway? Computer has 4gigs of ram and other Corel on standby, nothing else is running.
And while I'm thinking about it, many times when hatch filling with the 'fast' hatch, there will be several lines that run from one point in the text/graphic to another point a half mile away--these are lines that should be disconnected! And it's not just an on screen drawing error, the errant lines WILL engrave. Anyone else ever get that?
And finally (I hope) I just also remembered, the laptop has gone down with at least 2 bluescreen crashes since July- But hey, it's Windows, so not like that's a big stretch
The laptop came with the software loaded. I have a CD with 'Triumph Laser' written on it by me, but to be honest I'm not sure if it's the actual disc they sent me or a copy I made, however, it's a Sony CD-R disc, and all mine are 'no-name' things. The laptop doesn't have a CD drive, so if I recopy the program to the laptop I'll have to do it over the network or copy the CD to a flash drive. Or I can just run the program from another computer via the network.
Could all this BS be my laptop is bogus or maybe the program file is corrupted? Computer logs show the crashes and a few minor things, In the grand scheme of things it's not a HUGE deal, but it's getting to be more than a little annoying...
>edit< - turns out the disc I found is for the big blue dumpster, NOT the fiber ...
