    ''xtop.exe' has stopped working'? All the time. 😄

    In XP, sometimes Windows thinks it has stopped working when in fact it's
    just thinking a loooong time about a feature. Happens a lot with
    rounds. That looks like Vista or Win7, is there a way to return to the
    program to wait until it recovers like you can in XP?

    I am having exactly the same problem.

    I have been running Wildfire 1 for years, but only recently I am getting the xtop.exe error message and Wildfire fails to start.

    I wondered if it was to do with a Windows Update (I am on Windows 7 64 Bit) .

    I have updated the Graphics Drivers etc but cannot resolve it.

    It is very frustrating, and as I am Freelance, and am not able to work on my Projects.

    Can anyone please help?

    Try stripping everything out. Remove all of your config files, except for maybe setting

    graphics win32gdi

    Change your Windows Performance Options (search at the start menu for SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe) to "adjust for best performance"

    Launch the xtop.exe directly from the installation folder (this varies depending on what version you are using)

    The taskmanager checks to see of a program is responsive, by 'pinging'
    it. Many programs will show as 'stopped working' when they are doing
    something cpu intensive. Pro-E is famous for 'freezing' or not
    repainting the screen when moving windows over the pro-e window.

    I believe that you can 'tweak' the response time allowed for this... (At
    least in Win 2K, Win XP) I don't know about Win 7, never tried Vista.

    I will have to google some sites and report back.
