I need help how to fix portal hammer
Well hi, i am new to this forum, but not to portal mapping. I make maps a while since TF2maps, but i still map for TF2. I had a problem with the Portal hammer. When i open hammer and start making my map i dunno why about 45 second or a minute or less, hammer just randomly crashes. I was thinking i could need help how to fix this. Like Hammer just works for some few time then it freezes and it doesn't after that. I could have been in the 5th level on my map cause of that. Plz help me i need to know how to fix this. If this is not the correct place to put this topic, then forgive me.

Memory: 1 Gb
Processor: AMD Turion(tm) 64 mobile technology MK-36 2.00 Ghz
Graphics Card: Ati Xseries 200M or Ati series Xseries 1100M, i don't know really.
System: 64 Bits
i think thats it.
Pretty low but it still shouldn't seize up like that... Not sure what the issue is.
but still this problem is getting really annoying i should be finishing my testchamber right now but i can't cause of it. I dunno what to do.
I think this sometimes happens on 64 bit systems, but I am not entirely sure. Try searching on the steam forums for hammer issues.
No reason there'd be an issue on 64-bit. 32-bit applications run exactly the same on 64-bit OS as a 32-bit one because they are still being ran on an x86 processor. And I've never had a problem like this with my 64-bit installs.
Yeah I've had a 64bit processor / OS for probably 3 or 4 years now, and I've not had a problem with this.
I really wish we could do more to help, but unfortunately Hammer doesn't create crash reports or anything so it's really hard to troubleshoot.

If it ever does crash let the dialog that pops up and shows the progress bar finish, click Debug and send me the mdump file it produces and I'll take a look.
Well this is other kind of crash this crash happens inside hammer.. not ouside.. I'll explain you. Like i start my map and continue it.. several seconds later i dunno why.. the hammer just.. freezes however doesn't work... then " Not respond" quote is shown above. I don't know whatis this... but i think it has to with portal hammer it self.
