CMP freezing

I've had intermittant problems with CMP ever since starting in January and it now simply refuses to do anything. The specific symptoms are that it loads, it says its checking my username and password and I then have about two seconds to do anything before it then becomes totally inert and non-responding. The only thing that works is the close button.

There is no sign of any activity after it freezes.

I guess I'm OK with reinstalling but I would like to save the files I've downloaded and the route I've spent the past couple of weeks building. Apparently you need CMP to create an archive file :confused:

Any ideas on what might be going wrong with CMP?

Any ideas on how I might save my work?

I am using TRS2006 DVD 2.6 Build 3092.
My setup is as follows

Try waiting to let cmp rebuild the data base, this could take 20-30 minutes. Also your specs show screenshot shows several warnings which you may want to address! MOre Ram would be a good thing also. CMP can appear to be locked up but if you wait it will sort itself out and go to working. Have patients, your system is being taxed to run Trainz and needs time to do its thing.
 
More RAM!!!

I had the same problem when I first got TRS2006. Sometimes it would take a few minutes before it would function properly and I found that if I tried using it before it was ready, it would simply cause an error and shut down. I was running 512MB RAM so I added another Gig (3x what I had before) and it took care of the problem. Plus, the TRS2006 program runs much faster along with the computer in general. Try more memory and good luck! John
 
Thanks

I let it run for 30 minutes last night without interruption with no change, but I'll try letting it run tonight for an hour or so.

Its worrying that it's not showing any CPU usage after it goes quiet though. Nor is it showing its normal message that its rebuilding the database.

It Just Came Good

I turned the computer on this morning and loaded CMP and everything immediately worked fine. Obviously it just didn't like working on a Sunday :mad: . At yes I had done a computer reset yesterday, though possibly not a cold reboot.

Is it possible that it gets tired after doing some work for me, and decides that's enough for the day? I hadn't done any downloads, but I had done an edit. The problem showed up after I'd committed the work.

Oh well - at least I can now learn about archiving my own content.
