The place I work is incredibly cheap and believes our art program can function without the latest tech... :b1: So I am forced to work with outdated version of windows... :duh: Every time I draw in Inkscape it crashes with the error, "this program has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way..."
I need to get this working or end up using Adobe... :beg:

Welcome to Inkscape Community!
How much RAM do you have available? Without any additional information, I would guess that the file size is larger than you have RAM to handle it.
How large is the file?
(If using Windows XP means you only have 2 gb RAM (or maybe even less?), which restricts you to only working in smaller files, maybe that would be a good argument for your business to upgrade?)
Does this happen with a new blank document? Or only in existing files?
Does it crash when you are using some particular tool? Or it crashes randomly?
If you can give us any other clues -- anything you might notice right before it crashes, it would help us find the problem.

I think I also had similar issues ages ago - sre you working with a very old version of Inkscape?
