Bentley AutoPIPE Application has stopped working

"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Increasingly, AutoPIPE has been crashing when the user clicks "save." Often, the program will exhibit odd behavior which precedes the program crashing, such as the user being unable to use the arrow keys to navigate to other points within the model. Other times, no odd behavior is detected and even without clicking "save" the program will spontaneously crash. The error that results each time is as follows:

"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." AutoPIPE then closes without any user input.

Answer:

The CAE development team investigated this issue in detail on our end. They were able to relate it to possibly an issue with graphics driver update. Currently the graphics drivers in use on your machine are of version 8.1, dated 28th September 2009, where the latest drivers are released on 21st January 2013. Update the graphics driver from following location and settings and then check if it resolves the issue or not:
