Rhino Locks up when accessing options

Rhino
1

Very often when I type Options to access the Rhino Options window, Rhino will lock up and I am forced to close the the program, losing all my work.

There isn’t a clear pattern that I can pickup but it seems to happen after the program has been open for a few hours. If I try the command right after opening the same file that crashed the window pops up right away.

It is also not file specific as I’ve had this happen while working in different files

Hi NavArch,

Please run systeminfo in your Rhino command line and post the results. Thanks.
