Im curious if anyone else has had this type of problem with the latest release of CCS.
While working with CCS 2.0, if I happen to go to another program and work with a copy and paste, CCS will crash on me.
The copy and paste action has nothing to do with CCS. In other words I may copy something from one program into antoher program (niether of them being CCS). While CCS is minimized to the taskbar, it will crash, but not all the time.

Hello dwelsh,
Sorry but I overlooked your post or I would have answered earlier.
I resolved this problem by doing a ScanDisk with fix errors=on in w2k & reboot, the scandisk runs at boot: remember also that CCS needs Indexing Service = ON for the disk it's installed on.
I did this out of desperation because it usually resolves other MS issues on my video and 3d machines, never thought it would be needed on my web-dev PC because the files are so small. Wish Yes Software would consider making a Linux or Mac version, as IMHO the windows platform is not suited to serious work with computers.
CCS 2 has been running for days on my web-dev PC without this issue rearing it's ugly mug again.
If I get Maya & CCS for Linux I will probably just have Linux and Mac OSX boxes to work with as they deliver the stability I need.
Sorry for the rant, remember don't blame Yes for these errors, it's that garbage called windows messing up our lives as usual.
Greetings
Dave

With you 100% Dave. I'd love to see a linux version. I think it will be difficult though since ccs seems to rely so heavely on IE.
Also I would hate to loose dreamweaver mx as a development tool for the layout/html stuff. I never though I would say this, but maybe apple will come to the rescue. They seem to be doing well and with the new OSX becomming an interesting platform to develop for, macromedia and others will port there software. That would mean porting it to linux would become dead easy. You can run IE on OSX so maybe IE will be ported to linux in the future. I think this would be a smart thing to do for MS. "Join em if you can beat em" seems to become the smart answer for MS faster and faster 
So maybe there is hope.
Ron

Hi Ron,
Did you have issues with the copy'n'paste crashes?
Maybe we should start a separate thread advocating at least a Mac version. Yhis should make good business sense to Yes since that's where the really established web-developers and media producers choose to work. Yes Softwares user-friendly attitude is well suited to the Mac environment and they would gain a lot of sales as most serious mac owners I know are media professionals who would readily invest in such time-saving software.
I run MX Studio on mac & pc and really only my 3d apps and CCS are delaying an emigration from MS flawed strategies.
Best Regards
Dave

Getting back to the original issue - I too am having issues with copy and paste in 2.0 CCS crashes 3 times a day on me when I am trying to develop.
I have tried conventional scans, etc but it doesn't resolve it. Seems like a deep bug in the system.
Re the Mac and Linux version - I personally would vote VERY STRONGLY against proposals such as that (even though I like both environments). It is not economically possible to build credible software for multiple environments - See Borland, etc - Megadollars + Multiple Environments = MegaJunk at MegaPrices.
My two penneth.

In my case even CCS 1.0.7 crashed sometimes during copy and paste but CCS 2.0 does it more often. It looks like it is specially instable running on Windows XP. I personally learned to live with it but I ran into some problems or better disasters using the new feature "Replace in Files". Somehow it turned all my manually inserted links in the html file into lower case and CCS wouldn't recognize them and would try to erase them. In some cases the beginning <html> tag and in 2-3 cases a whole portion of the html code was gone.
If someone else experienced the same problem we should warn YesSoftware. It took me hours to clean up the mess.

I have experienced crashes prior to CCS 2.0. although not frequently. Since installing 2.0, it has happened at least several times daily. It seems to occur for me most often when right-clicking on a form server event field prior to actualy copying or when right clicking to show code. I learned to almost constantly click save in anticipation it will crash and work will be lost.
I also had the problem where event code was corrupted. Even though an event showed in the code window, the event did not display in the properties window. If I tried to delete it, it would just reappear. After having tech support look at the project, they found that somehow the word "Server" was changed to "server" - upper case S versus lower case s - in one of the .cpp files. Doing a 'find and replace' fixed the problem. They do not know how it happened.

This copy and paste error happens to me also. Quite often.
Sometime if I have CCS2 running and switch to a different program and copy and paste in the other program CCS2 will crash. It is very strange how even when the program does not have focus it seems to still be "hooked" into the copy and paste functions.
