here we go again

worked on a strat for backtesting. went to optimize - crash - lost strat code no idea why. redid it went to optimize and get the following error - see screen shot.
reboot - did not fix it.

thanks for wasting another eight hours of my life MC.

Assume i now need to reload the new beta? Seriously, i am not putting this program through a very rigorous workload and it just fails more than it succeeds (dont even get me started on "portfolio" backtesting.

Will these type of errors be fixed with 64bit?
