Hi,  
I am currently doing a project in which I am using paraview to post process data. I have already collected data for this model, however I realised that i missed out a couple of things. Paraview was working perfectly initially, however every time i now try and open the same file, my computer crashes. Any ideas on how this could be fixed?

Many Thanks,  
Liam

You say it was working perfectly, so: one thing that could be (among many others) is that you loaded textures, and then you removed or moved the files from the selected directory. In that case (sometimes), when you load state, it will crash. With your file we could see.
