If you are only familiar with the Mac platform you will notice two problems that may cause LightWave to crash. Firstly LightWave as yet does not come with much in the way of error trapping which means that LightWave can EASILY crash your Mac if something goes WRONG. A good example of this is that normally on a Mac Application you can be two or three moves ahead with keyboard commands, the Mac will catch you up and PERFORM them, but in LightWave using the keyboard faster than the application can cause the Mac to crash. Secondly LightWave does not have any onscreen progress notification (eg : a clock or a progress bar). If LightWave appears to FREEZE just after you perform a task, it is performing the task. A freeze is INDICATED by the user not being able to move the mouse on screen.
