So I have been working on my laptop (instead of my desktop computer) for the past few days. And behold, it crashed.

But not a complete super-crash as before - instead, it says...



"LOCK.MDL: Bad file format."

So yeah, I've tried other models, and as I've said, it worked sometimes, but sometimes it didn't.
My current suspicion is that the models that don't work have all been saved on my desktop computer since a recent reinstall of windows.

So perhaps, my MED-installation on this computer is faulty, or for some reason creates faulty files.
jcl, can a faulty model really crash the pre-compiler as shown in the first screenshot in this thread?

I'll investigate a bit more.

Thank you all for your help. Uhrwerk, I'll try the PRAGMA_ZERO as soon as I get it to reliably crash again.

Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least.
