  • locks solid. no splash screen, no nothing. only thing that 'works' is you can move the mouse pointer around. no response to mouse clicks or kybd input. waiting 30 minutes doesn't work either. only resolve is to hold down the power switch. no ExceptionHistory folder found. did find %temp%\Bentley\ which seems like it'd be the place for logs. but it is devoid of any recent files. opening the task mgr process list prior to starting v8i-ss3-357, reveals that ustation.exe only consumes 116kb ram and 0% cpu. under normal circumstances it'd climb into 100's of mb of ram as the app and dgn file got started. still doing some trial-n-error with other resident apps.

    no install errors.  no specific files.  no specific pc.
