You probably need more information. Do you get the windows crash/"program has stopped responding message" or do you get the crash notification and send window?

Yeah... how exactly does it crash?

And does it crash when you click on "New" or one of the options on the New page?

When I first open US I can click new fine. But if I start a simulation and then quick new, it crashes. Not sure about any error message but the US screen goes grey and stops working

Maybe a bad install? See if reinstalling helps.

Also, do you wait until the loading timer on the bottom of the screen goes away?

That's strange. If it's when you click on "New" and not "Create empty simulation" it's probably something with drawing a new menu page, but I don't know why that would crash after you load a sim.

How often does this happen? 50% 25% ?

Maybe this is related, maybe not. Sometimes when I load US up too quickly after closing it, the interface for the menus (whether its new sim or opening one) isn't all there. It doesn't crash or anything and easily fixable by closing it and waiting 10-15 seconds to allow the program to close fully. Waiting for the small loading icon to go away can help.

That problem I have seen and I'm not sure what the problem is.

We're exploring a different web view library that what we're currently using and expect this problem to go away as well.

probably happens about 60% of the time
