ZBrush 3.1 crashes after being run once.

[system]

Slightly different symptoms, mine crashes just as the Loading Zbrush splash starts to fade. Then about 1 time in 10 it will actually launch.

But installing the AMD Dual Core Optimizer seems to have helped. Now it launches and so far (crossed fingers) it’s happy.

I noticed one issue, you could call it a incompability issue that causes Zbrush 3.1 to bail out and instantly crash upon startup. This happens if you have installed Sysinternals Process Explorer and if it’s open.[/COLOR] Then Zbrush 3.1 refuses to start no matter what you try… but closing Process Explorer will let Zbrush start again.

Helped for my 32bit XP SP2, (on Intel Core2Duo CPU and NVIDIA).
Thanx

What if I compress my C: drive to have more space? Does it effect working of 3D software? Has anyone tested it ?

Compressing your boot drive will make your computer slow. Slow as in glacial slow. A tera-byte sized hard drive costs $79 at NewEgg.
