Import Manager crashes World Editor

Anybody else have a problem where you go to import a model and when you are in the dialog to pick a file on your computer the World Editor suddenly disappears? Because that is happening to me and it is really freaking annoying. It seems to only happen the second time I go to import a file. What can I do?

I have the same problem, but not only with the WE, but with all programs... when I get the browsing window, sometimes, that program suddenly dissapears... But all this started with WE... so I'd like to know the answer at this aswell...

Old problem. I have been told that it is when you have multiple maps opened in the WE at the same time that it happens - Try making sure that you only have one map opened when importing. This has worked for me, but I might have been lucky.

Well, when this happened to me, I was just opening WE, then a map, then trying to import, WE dissapears... And the thing that worries me is that happens with multiple programs (in my case)...

Then you propably have a serious problem with your computer.
If i were you, i would make some back ups as fast as possible.
When already more than 1 program crashs you've a serious error in your system.

I generally get it when I leave it browsing for to long.

i.e. I click import, search for a file then just stop, it usually crashes.
As long as you keep clicking it doesnt crash :-)

I've had the same exact problem, with WE first and then a number of programs. I eventually swapped that computer for the one I have now, but I think the problem was fixed after reformatting. I never understood it though.

I noticed that I have this problem if I'm running Wc3Viewer and WE simultaneously; after closing both, it continues to be an issue until I restart my computer.

Wow, I never realized this was such a common issue. I guess I was rather hasty in posting though, I haven't even tried restarting my computer. And I have had the Wc3 Image Extractor open all this time too. So I will try shutting everything down and restarting and all that and hopefully that will fix it.

Ugh, gotta start saving my stuff on DVDs, then formatting...

Well, the problem went away, I didn't even restart. I think it was related to having the Warcraft Image Exctractor open but I can't duplicate the error now.
