The debugger works fine for me on just about every program I have thrown at it. I think the problem is Windows 98, because I have XP Pro and never have any problems with crashing.
Also I don't use any include files in my programs so that might also be another reason why I don't have problems.
As for 3DS files, I have tried every 3DS file from Blitz and it loads them fine.
Not trying to pull any damage control, its just that thinks work for me all of the time. Now its true things didn't always work, but things are getting mucho better.
However, It might be because of my OS or system hardware, I think I have the same specs as Lee does.
