ok, this is pissin me off alot now, every once in a while, all my windows in hammer freeze, then hammer crashes... anyone know how to fix this?

Get a better PC.

:rolleyes: @ GL.

PF:
Well, you could tell us which Hammer, cause now there are at least two versions and what error it gives.
I have no problems from a long time with 3.5 beta. If 4.0 crashes, sigh, it's to be expected.

my hammer used to do this before I got my RAM upgraded, when mapping try not to leave other resource eating programs such as Photoshope, Paint Sho Pro, and Steam (unless your making minor changes and testing alot)...if this doesn't help, sorry I don't know what else to tell ya :\

ooops, forgot to tell which one im using.. im using the source hammer.

and ginger, an AMD athlon xp 3000+, 512 ram, and a geforce fx 5200 should be able to run hammer if im getting 100 FPS in hl2 and CS:S :-P
