hi i'm having a huge problem with maya 5.0 crashing

maya runs fine and all but sometimes it crashes for example the last time it crashed is when i was was switching from scale to translate...whats up with that

it allways happens sence i formated and reinstaled windows xp home

if someone has any idea how to fix this (maybe theres a windows setting i need to change or something else)

when i crashes the classic fatel error window pups up saying this program has caused an illigal operation and must shutdown

thanx so much if you can help me...it would save alot of time beacase i wont have to start over on the project i was just working on

microman

P.S. if u need me to show u the other info in the error window just say so and i'll type it in

P.P.S if u help me i will owe u however much money u whant (sorry no garrenties i can pay u )
