This error message appears while trying to create uvws, texture and displacement maps. The entire process crashes several times using Zbrush 3.5 r3. This is a simple group of multiple tools that make up a female dress.

File Error
Error has been encountered while trying to load a tool. Loading has been aborted.
What are the steps that you’re following? Is it possible to provide a copy of the tool for testing?

I had ZBrush 3.5 r3 installed for a few days when I received basically the same error message:
INTERNAL ERROR.\AFile.cpp Line 728. /Create a File C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\PIXOLOGIC\ZBRUSH 3.5 r3/ZStartup\Tempfiles/search.mem
It didn’t crash ZBrush. Rather, it would not let me open ZBrush. I used System Restore (Win 7 64-bit) to restore back a day or two, and I was able to open the program. However, sometimes the cursor blinks. For example, if I go to Documents>Back and use the color picker, the cursor will flicker. Sometimes, infrequently, I’ll get a “Program has stopped working” message from Windows. I’m doing simple learning exercises, and I have my compact memory set to 1024 (4GB on the system, Core i7 820 processor). It acts like a memory problem; but I don’t see how it would be.
I don’t know if that contributes anything to the discussion, but it’s information.
