Even after Service Pack 3, bump map still crashes Photopaint instantly.

not here... it should work. Ensure you have this ver #
I'm aware that it's working for some people after the last service pack. It also worked for me when I tried it immediately after the service pack. But last night it crashed immediately.

That's a possible clue.
If the problem reliably persists after a reboot, then a windows system restore to a couple of days ago may fix it.
No, after a recent reinstall of the entire system, I find that not only is bumpmaps crashing, but messing around with the effects in general is both buggy and causes a crash quickly, just like it has done for past decade. This program still remains in the top 3 most buggiest programs I've ever used.
KuttyJoe,
Have you tried cleaning up your system with a good registry cleaner? Most of the time...computers crash because your computer is full of junk(unlinked or missing registry entries) which conflict with your software applications.
9 out of 10 chances...this is what causes the majority of the software crashes in everyday computing.
How many times have you defragged your computer in the last 6months or so? Alot of times computer crashes are due to bad user maintenance.
I have a registry cleaner called "Max Registry Cleaner" and the first time I used it about 2 years ago it found over 2,000 missing registries from programs that I had uninstalled, or deleted on my windows XP computer. I also have it installed on my new Windows 7 64bit computer with 4gigRAM and Intel i5 processor.
I defrag my computer around once every 3 months or so. And clean my registries once a month and clean my temporary file constantly.
I haven't had a single crash on my computer since I can remember...not even with coreldraw X3,X4 or X5 or Photo-paint. I also have Photoshop and Illustrator installed and neither of them ever crash even when I have them running simultaneously.
I try to keep my computer sqeeky clean on a current basis.
Give it a try. It might help minimize your crashes
It's usually not the software.....it's your system.
