Problem

When trying to open or create a model, the program crashes with the following error:

"Breakpoint A breakpoint has been reached"

Solution

In at least one case, this was due to a problem with either a recent Windows update or Antivirus software interfering with the program.

After rolling back the updates and inactivating the antivirus, the program started working.

To test if this is the case for you, try temporarily disabling third party running applications (typically done from the system tray next to the clock) one by one, especially antivirus and video card control panels. You can also try booting the computer in safe mode to rule these out, since safe mode does not load any other applications.
