Cinema 4d 9.5 open / save dialog crash

[subzerohk]

Hi all,

I have a problem with Cinema 4d crashing everytime I try to open, save or export from the app ?

I am running the full version (i.e not demo). Working in the app all is fine. Can even render, however, accessing any OS dialog will hang the program then need to kill in Task manager.

Anyone had a similar problem ? Is there a work around ? I've totally removed + reinstalled the app several times. Even cleaning out the registry. V9.1 works fine, just anything above 9.5 has this prob. Please help !!

Thx

Just out or curiosity how old is old GFX card?.. I know that from v9.5 upwards Maxon have tweaked OpenGL. If the card is older try updating drivers if you havn't already. Also In the C4d options maybe disable OpenGL or else stick to using 9.1. :(.

When you reinstall C4D 9.1..e.t.c have you tryed upgrading to 9.5 with just the standard modules and plugins. IE; Without any 3rd party plugins/modules it could be one is not compatible with the upgrade. Could be AV, could be lot's of stuff.

The problem could lie in your installation of Microsoft NET Framework.
For the un-initiated, this program is installed and called-up by C4D (and other programs) to spread the processing time among any free PC's on a network.

If your PC is not part of a network it should save to your HD as normal.
It could be worth checking out your network settings just in case, and then install the latest version of NET Framework.
The most recent version (v1.1) can be found here

I had problems with an earlier version of C4D and upgrading the NET Framework solved the problem.

Hi all,

Thanks for the suggestions.. I have a dual xeon 3.06 machine 2 gb RAM, Matrox Parhelia 256Mb..
Have noticed the problem happens with any system dialogs (even in material editor, for exmaple).. Have tried switching to software OGL, but still same prob. Will try the .Net update..

Thankyou for any suggestions. Very frustrating. !!
