I've seen this topic before, but nobody seems to have solved the issue. I'm in PPT doing any number of operations when the program decides to crash and I get the transparent Overlay of Death.
This has happened while applying effects, adjusting brightness, you name it -- including when I am simply saving a file.
Sometimes, it "kinda crashes" -- like when I go to Save and no thumbnails appear in a folder filled with JPGs, only the names of the files. Or in the JPG preview pane, all I see is a black box where the preview should be. Or when I go to save and there is no Save button.
I was having these problems before, on my older Dell XPS system running Vista. But I recently upgraded to a Dell Optiplex desktop with a screaming 4th gen i7 processor, 32Gb RAM and dual SSDs. I shouldn't have these kinds of issues. What can I do to fix the problem?
Is it the latest version of X5? I don't have it running anywhere anymore so I can't troubleshoot files. What version of Windows?
Can I assume Windows 7 Pro 64 bit or home 64 bit?
Can I assume that you use MS security essentials?
Do you serf the web with this system?

It sounded like it since your temp folder was what it was. AVG has in the past had issues with CDGS, I have over 200 systems using MS Security or Windows Defender no issues, 8 of them I own. I like it because it updates daily and some times multiple times daily and has never had issue with properly programmed applications.
I'm betting that somewhere you have some application running in the back ground that's causing issues. I use CDGS for business and DO NO allow web surfing on any of my graphic work stations. It's amazing what stuff get's loaded from the web.

I use MS Security and Windows Defender on the systems I use on the web also. BTW I'm not sure that it's AVG I only know in the past there have been issues mentioned on the forum. I'm not the person to test instability as I seem (judging from this forum) to have very stable systems, 1GB files with transparency.
