Often ensuring that your system is as up to day as possible is recommend, however I have found that on the odd occasion using an older driver, such as the one supplied with the graphics card has resolved a similar issue. Other possible causes can be a corrupt registry, but only a totally clean re-install on a freshly low level formatted drive will resolve that, but is often the last resort.

If you have access to another machine, try installing MCS etc and see if the issue is easily replicated. Unless the two machines use identical components I doubt that the problem will occur
This isn't directed at you Scampy, but it's an acknowledgement of a lot of wasted time and effort, caused by ONE program that the developer isn't fixing.

The problem has occurred on 3 of 3 machines of mine, different graphics card, ALWAYS while running MCS and ALWAYS while typing comments. No other programs are crashing with this error. I repeat for clarity, NO other programs are crashing with this error, my system is rock solid stable otherwise. Seeing as MCS is always the offending (crashing) party, I would thing the manufacturer would be held somewhat accountable. I know there is a number of users who have reported this issue, and are met with frustration and denial "it's peculiar to your system" - "and yours" "and yours". More than one (I have THREE) means it's not a single system. More than one operating system means the same. It all points to MCS being the uncooperative player, since nothing else is crashing, all the other kids "play nicely together".

There is no guarantee that any of the "fixes" noted will work, when this isn't a windows problem, it's a MCS problem. There is some aspect of it that's doing this or a number of other users and I would all see this same error on OTHER programs on our multiple (non-identical) systems as well. Yet there is NO cooperation from the software developer because they "cannot replicate the problem". Too many of us have it, and there should be some accountability for paid software that not only crashes, but loses our work. That really sucks.

This isn't directed toward any individual - except perhaps the developer - but the whole ostrich thing of "one off" isn't helpful when you are one of a NUMBER of "one-offs" that this is recurring with, and you've tried it on no less than 3 different laptop system configurations with the same results.
