The problem with that is that I haven't opened the program for quite a while so I don't know when to restore. I'm also reluctant to because I don't want to mess up any other programs. Are there any other solutions? If I can't get the software to work correctly is there a way I can recover the files I have made with the EV3 software (there are only 2 of them)? If I can retrieve the files, I can recreate them using the old NXT 2.0 software and then at least I will have my files.

My windows update is set for automatic updates. Everything is already up to date.

Here is the Windows event log containing the error: Log Name: Application Source: Application Error Date: 1/28/2014 9:52:44 AM Event ID: 1000 Task Category: (100) Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: XXX-PC Description: Faulting application name: MindstormsEV3.exe, version: 1.0.826.1, time stamp: 0x521b9078 Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.18229, time stamp: 0x51fb1116 Exception code: 0xe0434352 Fault offset: 0x0000c41f Faulting process id: 0x297c Faulting application start time: 0x01cf1c388952ef44 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\LEGO Software\LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Home Edition\MindstormsEV3.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll Report Id: d774bdc9-882b-11e3-b6c8-f04da25acebe Event Xml: <Event xmlns="http://schemas.micro...08/events/event"> <System> <Provider Name="Application Error" /> <EventID Qualifiers="0">1000</EventID> <Level>2</Level> <Task>100</Task> <Keywords>0x80000000000000</Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime="2014-01-28T14:52:44.000000000Z" /> <EventRecordID>73087</EventRecordID> <Channel>Application</Channel> <Computer>xxx-PC</Computer> <Security /> </System> <EventData> <Data>MindstormsEV3.exe</Data> <Data>1.0.826.1</Data> <Data>521b9078</Data> <Data>KERNELBASE.dll</Data> <Data>6.1.7601.18229</Data> <Data>51fb1116</Data> <Data>e0434352</Data> <Data>0000c41f</Data> <Data>297c</Data> <Data>01cf1c388952ef44</Data> <Data>C:\Program Files (x86)\LEGO Software\LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Home Edition\MindstormsEV3.exe</Data> <Data>C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll</Data> <Data>d774bdc9-882b-11e3-b6c8-f04da25acebe</Data> </EventData> </Event>

I have a Windows 7 64 bit PC. It's running .NET 4.0. I downloaded the EV3 Home Software and it worked fine. Then suddenly whenever I try to open the program it says "Lego Mindstorms EV3 has stopped working" and it prompts me to close the program. I have tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling it but that doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Ok. Thanks for the tip.

Ok. Thanks.

Hey. Is there a way to add text to your models in LPub- just little notes here and there? Thanks

That worked. The tire is there. Thanks everybody for your help

Ok. I'll download the 32 bit version then. Thanks

Your file worked again. The piece was there. My file still doesn't have the piece until step 4.

Hey. I am running a Windows 7, 64 bit. I want to download the new ev3 software, but it only has OSX and Win 32. Would it be bad for my computer to download the Win 32 version? Thanks.

Your file worked. I saw the piece. Mine still isn't working.

Hi. I am working on a model in LPub that contains the piece 44309. When I open up LPub the first step should have a wheel and the tire (44309) in it. However only the wheel shows up. I clicked through LPub to step 4. Suddenly the piece appeared. It didn't appear in the PLI in the first step or the fourth step. Is there some reason the piece isn't showing up in LPub until the fourth step Also my PLI on the first step is huge. It is the size of the whole page. All the other PLI's are normal. Is there a way to shrink a PLI? Thanks, Nathan

I also use SR 3D Builder. I like it a lot. I took me a little bit to get used to but now it is easy. I used to use MLCAD but I think SR 3D Builder is easier and faster. I still do use MLCAD to get my model ready for LPub though.

Never mind, I got it. I just had to turn off the Automatic Brick Orientation. Thanks, Nathan
