[World Editor] randomly crashing

I'm not sure if this post should be here or under bus and issues, but I'll post it here.

When I'm using the world editor it'll work then randomly crash.

here's the last bit of the logs

It might be a problem with your graphics card driver...check and see if it the most recent one.

Does the screen go black for a second before it randomly crashes?

What are the specs of the computer you are running it on.

driver's up to date.

doesn't go black, windows just whites out the whole window and pops up with blah blah program crashed.

as for the hardware:

GFX Card 8400GS
CPU E8500 3.16ghz dual core 64bit
4gb ddr3 ram
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1

Does it happen everytime you run the world editor or only for a specific world?
Are you using the default assets or custom assets.

Are there any other warnings or errors in the log file?

I fixed a few crashes with the tools in the code, but they haven't been released yet. Hopefully we'll get an official updated release out soon. You can try my "unofficial" build if you want:

It's a good idea to uninstall the previous tools before using, and make sure to keep backups of your data and save often -- but that also goes for the current tools release too. It's more stable than the previous version, but not perfect yet.

happened on 2 of the sample worlds.

the only warns are

Code:: WARN [2012-06-28 17:55:48,500] D3D9RenderSystem Calling Device.Reset

if you want the whole log I can put it on pastebin for you.

I'll give it a shot but chrome's telling me it's dangerous and that's never happened on any other downloads.
