Re: ST keeps crashing

Hi Dick,
as a last resort (after having excluded all the other points Ivo mentioned), you could try to run ST inside of a virtual Linux machine.
I did this recently in order to do a side-by-side comparison of ST8 and ST9 SVDecon modules and it worked surprisingly good, even on my low-end Windows notebook. I guess on your high-end system performance would be more than sufficient.
This idea may sound strange, but if this is an issue of odd driver or other software constellations, the VM would be an abstraction layer between ST and your Windows system. Plus, you would use the Linux version of ST which uses different underlying OS API functions.
It's quite easy to install for example Oracle VM Virtualbox. As VM guest OS you could download a ready-to-play VM linux image for example from osboxes.org. No need to install guest OS by yourself. Depending on how familiar you are with such things it may not be to much effort at all and worth a try.
Best regards, Dietmar.
