Proe fault or Windows?

Check the hardware acceleration. Drag it to minimum. Your graphics card may be weak. And another reason may be your virtual ram settings are not correct. If pro/E starts and stays for a while and then you start work,thenit crashes. If its like this then its not pro/E problem. Its windows rather your system problem.

I know this may have already been checked, but just in case.


Make sure that you download the latest drivers for your video card and see if you can choose Pro/Engineer Wildfire as the application to optimize the card for. I know that Nvidia cards allow you to choose the application. This has solved many of the memory issues and crashes we had with Wildfire 2.0
 
Just for Reference:a coworker had your same issue with the same equipment. He has since upgraded the computer and much more RAM (which Pro/E loves as well as Windows). Resulting in much less problems... Just some feedback, understanding not all of us has the $$ to upgrade every year....
