When the first Daley administration in Chicago, Illinois was known for voting
corruption, they had a saying, "Vote early, vote often". It got translated to
Pro/e as 'Save early, save often' because of freezes, crashes, bsod, unhandled
exceptions. It may be improving with more standardization on OpenGL
implementations, but it is still not, by any means, exceptional.

Where to look:
Prime suspect, graphics card/drivers: check the PTC website for anything youcan
find out about yours.

Next, the NForce2 platform: seems I read a review when that first came out which
talked about such video troubles. Google this and see what you can find out, also
go to the iNvidia site, they may have something, a patch maybe;

Lastly, bios patches: could be a problem with the way certain software or drivers
come out of hibernation. Make sure your system power down setting are set to not
kick the computer into hibernation and see if this helps. Do you do Windows
Update? They also have such things.

In other words, there's no setting in Pro/e that will fix this, nothing that
simple.
