Hi Rex, I set it Windows 98/Me compatibility on the Vismdlr.exe file in C:\Program Files\Microsoft VisioModeler 3.1\Program folder (default install location).
It has worked well since. Not once has it crashed or prevented saving files or anything reported. Weird that others have had those issues. Used it in class on workstations and also fine on laptops and tablets. Even on different students' own laptops.

I tried this (I think, I am not sure what Col means by (on the exe)). It ran beautifully until I tried to save my CSD. VM closed immediately without saving, and without an error message. The IPT teacher at another school reported the same outcome. Col, can you provide detailed instructions on how to "run in Windows ME compatible mode (on the exe)"?
