32 bit XP SP3, 1GB of RAM, latest download from the web site. It installed
fine but when I run it, it thinks about it for a while and then puts up a
pop-up with "openscad.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience".

However, an older version of Openscad (2011.12.30) works OK but gives a
message about OpenCSG being disabled.

Can you share the model you are trying to render ? Or does this problem occur
with all models ?

We increased some rendering limits in recent versions. If you go to "Preferences->Advanced->Turn off rendering at NNN elements", you can try reducing that number and see if it improves.

I never even get to that point. That error pops up before any Openscad
window appears at all.

This sort of crash may happen if your OpenGL drivers are buggy.
Could you try running OpenSCAD on the cmd-line as shown below and paste the
output here, alternatively upgrade your OpenGL drivers?
Sometimes, inspecting the Windows Event Log help diagnose this too.

$ openscad --info

/"$ openscad --info "/

This simply returned another command prompt and gave only a pop-up titled
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library", with a text of "Runetime Error!
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way. Please contact the application's support team for more information".

/"alternatively upgrade your OpenGL drivers? "/

Good point. It's an S3 Graphics ProSavage DDR. I checked and there does
seem to be an update available. I'll try installing that and see if that
helps. Thanks.

I updated the S3 graphics driver to the latest verison I could find -
13.94.33 WHQL, which is still admittedly only 3/26/06. But it didn't help.
Running openscad.exe again gave the same error message - "openscad.exe has
encountered a problem and needs to close".

Michele,
Rename the scad file to a different name before starting OpenSCAD. Then it might start OK.
I had this problem with an mistake that I did and saved. The only way to restart OpenSCAD
without crashing was to do what I suggested earlier.

Good luck,
Jean-Paul

Thanks, but it crashes when simply double-clicking the icon to start the
program, before I even get to give it an scad file. Whatever is wrong is
happening very early in the execution.
