I have tried un-installing and re-installing both versions but whenever I load routes into both BVE versions, the computer crashes after about one minute. I have tried all resolutions but no luck!

RE: End Of The Line
Damon, if you have a GeForce graphics board it's possible that the drivers have got corrupted. I would suggest that you get hold of a utility called Detonator RIP. It will completely remove all traces of your present video drivers. Once you have got rid of the lot only then can you install a new set. There are instructions with the program. Do a search for it on the net. There's a good site called guru3d where you might find all kinds of help with graphics problems, and most drivers too.
I would also uninstall, using Windows Control Panel, all installed BVE programs. It might be a good idea to uninstall .Netframework too. Reboot your PC and then install video drivers first, followed by .Netframework, and lastly BVE4. Reboot one more time and see what happens.

RE: End Of The Line
Try a windows restore, that normally works for me...
If that doesnt work I think it could have something to do with your hardwareComment

I would keep well away from Windows Restore- While it may fix minor problems, in this case it is as likely to hinder as to help.
Things to try-
1. Update ALL drivers, not just those for the GFX- This will fix many problems.
2. Run sfc /scanow from a command prompt- This scans Windows for any corrupt system files etc.
3. As both BVE versions crash after about the same time, I think it's logical to assume that your problem is to do with something common to both versions; Have you installed any Windows updates recently?
4. As a VERY LAST RESORT before formatting, it is possible to boot from your Windows XP cd & do an in-place repair install. This will probably fix your problem, but will mess up much of the stuff you have installed, so is not reccomended.
It is very unlikely to be a hardware problem!!

Damon, since you are on Windows XP, try a Windows restore to a date where BVE works perfectly since all other options like drivers update and reinstall of BVE failed.
Have you try installing the latest DirectX?Comment
