First, updating to sp2 might help. Second, you have a very low amount of RAM, for XSI. With XSI, you can say that you're in safe zone when you have 512, but ideally it would be more than 1 gig. Other possible sources might something in your scene.... have you noticed any specific conditions when the crash occur? Hope this helps Salutations - Cheers Bernard Lebel ---

I'd be interested in knowing if you have autosave on. I have a user here that is crashing very frequently, even when away from the computer. We narrowed it down to autosave. When we turned that off, he hasn't crashed since. We narrowed it down even further to the "number of scene backups". If we had that set to 3, XSI would only crash every 3rd save. I'm not sure if this is an XSI or Windows issue yet. You may want to check this out.
