Using C3 on a dual boot. When booting into 9.1 Carrara crashes unexpectadly and frequently right in the middle of ordinary modelling operations. Have tried adjusting memory assigned with no luck. Anyone else experience this and can advise?

I know it's not much of an answer, but it's gotta be much more stable starting up in Jaguar. Might be time to let Classic go to pasture.

I haven't been able to start C3 at all on my 9.2 machine, but it works flawlessly on OSX 10.2, Win XP, and Win 98SE. So I just don't use it on that 1 machine. :>

Odd indeed. I just sent Eovia an email and got a prompt human response. Unfortunately I haven't been able to create a reproducible problem (aka crashes every time I hit THIS button). Loaded and ran smoothly in 9.1, all functions active with exception of the background image in modelling window -- and odd unexplained crashes when working in Vertex modeller. Seems to run smoothly in Jaguar but, alas, my underpowered PowerBook does not. Oddly enough, the pre-release Beta never had a problem. I've asked Eovia to let me continue using that as a stop-gap! Oh, yeah...won't load at all on an old Sonnet-Accelerated PowerMac running 8.6 But who is surprised there? Carrara2 still runs, tho.

Did you assign enough memory to Carrara? In cases, giving more RAM to an application can avoid some crashes in OS 9.

Not a memory issue, I'm almost sure. I've tweaked memory back and forth to no avail. However, Eovia advises it may be an issue with the interactive render. I wasn't using OpenGL anyhow, but on their advice switched to "Eovia Software." It may be an illusion but it already seems smoother...and so far, no crashes.
