Windows 2000 SP4 on Athlon 1600+ (yes, a 5 year old machine) latest version of gerbv, 2.0.1 Opening gerber files makes it crash It craps out to Windows with a memory protection error (null pointer) --------------------------- Gerber Viewer2.0.1: : gerbv.exe - Application Error --------------------------- The instruction at "0x6b067700" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program Click on CANCEL to debug the program --------------------------- OK Cancel --------------------------- I can open some Gerber files, but not others. It will let me save a "project", but I can't open it. Well, I *can* open it, but nothing shows up on the screen and it doesn't seem to report any errors. I sent my files to someone who offered to take a look to see at a minimum if he could duplicate the error. I have not heard anything back (that I remember anyway). Do you want the files?
