    When Tunercat OBD-II tuner came out around 2002 GM flashes in most cases were only 512K bytes and that was for PCM and auto tranny
    Now GM calibrations are like 4 mg bytes and that is each for PCM and TCM

    I suspect early on they coded software for a much smaller free working memory space and now runs out of that memory space

    Another problem I do not know if it is the runtime for VB or .Netframe used in 2002 but editor program is not compatible with either them for newer versions
    of those MSwindows programs

    Cannot get anyone to get involved to at least get some workaround and I have lots of money spent in all the VDFs I have bought since 2002 :-(

    So was hoping others here find ways to resolve these hard crashes.

    if you run software that doesn't work on newer computers, virtualization is what you're looking for. install windows XP 32 bit in a virtual machine and install the software there. the software to do that is free (google virtualbox). you can run operating systems within operating systems, and your 'guest' operating systems are pretty much isolated from your real computer. modern processors have virtualization instructions that make this type of emulation very fast.
