Hello Houdini keeps crashing while I'm in the file browser. More specifically If I'm trying to use a image for a displacement map, or loading up a exr in COPS. Sometimes while looking for the image scrolling down the list, or click accept it will crash, even if it is just a blank freshly opened scene with nothing in it. Is there some place I can find the crash log to post it? Here are my computer specs, and I'm using the latest production build of Houdini. Thanks for any help you can give me Sometimes it happens again and again, other times it won't crash.

Windows 7 professional 64bit
AMD dual core cpu (not sure which one at the moment)
Geforce 460 v2 1gig Drivers 296.10
4gig ddr800

It stopped crashing on me. But I might have found some steps to get it to crash.

1. Lay down a mantra surface shader in the material gallery
2. Go to the displacement tab, and check use displacement map
3. Enter the file browser uncheck show files as a sequence, and keep clicking the name, size, and last modified sorting filters randomly back and forth. Maybye throw in some scrolling up and down. After doing this a couple times it will crash each and every time. I have also noticed to get it to crash there has to be a few images in the directory ex. HIP/desktop for example. I believe I have a couple hdrs, exrs, and jpegs if that helps.

Hi,
Ive had no problems my end on windows 7 and have tried to replicate your issues. using build 12.1.33. I will say 4 gigs is not a lot of ram to run Houdini your OS will use 2 straight away.

The crashlog will be in your temp directory, named crashlog_<username>.

Thanks Monkey

I realize 4 gigs is pretty small, I plan on upgrading as soon as I can get some extra money.

Twod strangely enough I don't see a crash log. It would be under Cwindows/temp correct? I also might have found the culprit. I had show files as images checked on in the general user interface settings. Once I turned that off and tried it again it stopped crashing when I went through my steps again.
