Great,after some days using SHP Builder(on short,I've put my laptop on hibernation,being an lazy ass to edit that stuff regarding my works on a sidebar.

Until now everything worked fine.I was copying the stuff to PS to make a template.Everything worked fine,but now I can no longer copy from SHP builder to PS.

Why?Really,no idea.

Close the program, restart the PC and open it again.

Hibernation and sleep makes Windows applications go crazy with many graphical problems. I've seen Red Alert 3 crashing in the EA intro movie after my computer wake up from a sleep. Voxel Section Editor III also has loads of problems after I place my pc to sleep. For this reason, I avoid to place it on sleep. This problem is beyond my scope. I'm sorry.

Interesting, because generally I always (as in, my processor had been active for around 1300 hours at a one point) put my laptop on hibernation and I've never encountered any problems... In theory, all hibernation does is copy your RAM and CPU state and then throws them on your hard disk (only to load them up again when you wake it up). your machine should suffer no penalties from this process, no matter how often it is repeated.

Perhaps you're using the windows API too much for certain features? It's not as spotless as you might think, for example there are several bugs with the 16 Bit Subsystem of windows XP which afaik means reserved memory for 16 bit applications is not handled properly. After a short while you can't run them anymore and all you can do is reboot to reset it (... bad memories when trying to play old games that didn't want to run in DOSBox... Mad

).

Peharps I am or peharps some Delphi component is. I think both are. Windows API is used to display any kind of image, among many other features.

As I said before, I do not have much control on it.
