I just used fatcanfan's new mapmaker for 180, and had my Paint Shop Pro 7 open. I just re-opened zquest-w.exe, and it went all hippie on me (all of the colors went to pastel) then, the WinXP must close program dialog came up, and when i hit 'don't send error report,' I got the following message..

The memory at '0x73dd1351' tried to reference the memory location at '0x00000004' but could not be "read"

intead of closing ZQ like i thought it was going to, it closed my PSP instead. strange.

I don't know if that means anything, but i've never seen that type of error before.

As with all bugs do your best to reproduce the effect. That should help narrow things down. In all likelyhood it was a simple fluke.
